Dr Peter Girardi: specialist surgeon
Dr Peter Girardi is listed by Wakefield Medical Clinic as a Specialist General Surgeon rather than a general practitioner. His published profile says his work is focused on breast, cosmetic and thyroid surgery, with interests including skin cancer and breast surgery. Patients looking for a routine GP appointment should therefore distinguish his specialist role from the clinic’s general-practice appointments.
The clinic’s profile states that Dr Girardi is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons and has completed fellowship training in cosmetic surgery with the Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery.

Before you book: a practical checklist
- Decide whether you need a standard, long or prolonged consultation.
- Check whether you need a particular GP or specialist service.
- Have your Medicare or concession details available.
- Ask about the current consultation fee and expected Medicare rebate if cost matters.
- Tell reception if the appointment concerns an acute illness, particularly for a child.
- Ask about preparation if you are booking an immunisation, procedure, health assessment or aviation medical.
- If you cannot attend, contact the clinic as early as possible regarding cancellation or rescheduling.
Wakefield Medical Clinic: what makes the booking process different?
One useful feature for patients is the clinic’s published distinction between brief, standard, long and prolonged consultations. This makes it worthwhile to explain the purpose of your visit rather than simply requesting a generic GP appointment. A longer appointment may be more suitable when several concerns need to be discussed or when a procedure or detailed assessment is involved.
The practice also says it can provide male or female doctors at most times, subject to availability. If doctor gender is important to you, mention this when booking rather than relying on the default appointment allocation.
