About Dr Shivram Nadkarni

Dr Shivram Nadkarni is a highly experienced ophthalmologist and eye surgeon based in East Maitland, New South Wales, practising through Hunter Eye Surgeons in the Hunter Valley region. With over three decades of clinical and surgical experience, he provides comprehensive eye care including cataract assessment and surgery, glaucoma management, medical retina treatments (such as diabetic eye disease and macular conditions), paediatric ophthalmology, and squint (strabismus) evaluation and correction. Patients are generally seen via referral from a GP or optometrist, and services are provided in a specialist clinic setting, with surgery usually performed at accredited day surgery or hospital facilities in the region.

A charge from “Dr Shivram Nadkarni”, “Hunter Eye Surgeons”, or a similar description may appear on your bank or card statement in connection with a consultation, diagnostic tests (such as visual field testing or optical scans), minor in-rooms procedures, or surgical fees related to cataract, glaucoma, retina, paediatric or squint surgery. You might see charges for initial or follow‑up specialist consultations, pre‑operative assessments, post‑operative reviews, or out‑of‑pocket ‘gap’ payments that are not fully covered by Medicare or private health insurance. In some cases, there may be a pre‑authorization or deposit taken ahead of surgery, which can show as a pending or temporary hold before the final amount is processed.

If you are unsure about a charge, start by checking recent eye appointments, referrals, or surgeries for yourself or any family member linked to that card, and look for appointment reminders or invoices from Hunter Eye Surgeons in your email, SMS, or physical mail. To clarify any billing questions, visit huntereyesurgeons.com.au and use the listed phone number or contact form to reach the reception or accounts team; they can confirm appointment dates, item numbers billed, Medicare claims, and any gaps or deposits. Have your full name, date of birth, Medicare or health fund details, the exact charge amount, and the date on your bank statement ready, as this will help them trace the transaction, reissue receipts, correct any billing errors, or arrange payment plans or refunds if applicable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why was I charged by Dr Shivram Nadkarni or Hunter Eye Surgeons?

This charge usually relates to a specialist eye consultation, diagnostic test, procedure, or surgical fee provided by Dr Shivram Nadkarni at Hunter Eye Surgeons. Common reasons include initial consultations, follow‑up visits, cataract or glaucoma assessments, paediatric eye reviews, or post‑operative checks. It may also represent the out‑of‑pocket ‘gap’ portion not covered by Medicare or your private health fund. If a family member is linked to your card, the charge could be for their appointment or surgery.

What are typical fees for appointments with Dr Shivram Nadkarni?

Fees vary depending on whether it is an initial consultation, review visit, or a more complex assessment with diagnostic testing. As a specialist clinic, there is usually a higher fee for the first visit, with a Medicare rebate available for eligible patients after a valid referral. Surgical procedures such as cataract or squint surgery involve separate fees that may include surgeon’s fees, hospital or day surgery charges, and anaesthetist fees, with some or all of these partly covered by Medicare and/or private insurance. For current fee estimates, it’s best to contact Hunter Eye Surgeons directly, as pricing can change and may differ by procedure.

Why do I see multiple charges related to Dr Shivram Nadkarni or Hunter Eye Surgeons?

Multiple charges can occur if you had several services on different dates, such as an initial consultation, follow‑up visits, and pre‑operative or post‑operative appointments. For surgery, you may see a separate payment for the surgeon’s fee, a hospital or day‑surgery facility fee, and charges from other providers like an anaesthetist or pathology service. Occasionally, a pre‑authorization or deposit may appear first, followed by the final billed amount once treatment is completed. Reviewing your invoices or asking the clinic for an itemized statement can help you match each charge to a specific service.

I see a small or pending charge from Hunter Eye Surgeons—what is this?

A small or pending amount may be a pre‑authorization hold placed by the practice or the payment processor to confirm that your card is valid before a consultation or surgery. This is not an additional fee; the hold usually converts to the final charge or is released after a few business days, depending on your bank. If a larger final payment has already gone through and the hold has not dropped off after about a week, you can contact both your bank and Hunter Eye Surgeons’ accounts team to verify the status.

How can I get a copy of my invoice or receipt for a charge from Dr Shivram Nadkarni?

You can request a copy of your invoice or receipt by contacting Hunter Eye Surgeons using the phone number or contact details listed on huntereyesurgeons.com.au. Provide your full name, date of birth, approximate date of service, and the exact amount charged so they can locate your account quickly. They can usually email or print a detailed statement showing consultation or procedure dates, Medicare item numbers, and amounts paid and rebated for your records or health fund claims.

How do I dispute a charge or ask about an incorrect amount?

If you believe you were charged the wrong amount, contact the Hunter Eye Surgeons reception or accounts department first, as they can review your file, item numbers billed, and Medicare or health fund claims. Have your bank statement, appointment dates, and any previous invoices handy so they can compare records. If an error is confirmed, the clinic can adjust the bill or process a refund where appropriate. Only if you cannot resolve it directly with the practice should you then contact your bank to discuss a formal dispute.

Can I get a refund if I was charged but did not attend my appointment?

Refunds for missed or cancelled appointments depend on the practice’s cancellation and ‘did not attend’ policy, which is typically explained at booking or in reminder messages. Many specialist clinics charge a fee if you cancel on short notice or do not attend, as that time was reserved for you and cannot easily be re‑filled. If you had extenuating circumstances, contact Hunter Eye Surgeons as soon as possible to discuss your situation; in some cases, they may reduce or waive the fee at their discretion. Always try to cancel or reschedule well in advance to avoid such charges.

How can I update my payment details or arrange a payment plan for treatment with Dr Shivram Nadkarni?

To update your card details or discuss payment options, contact the Hunter Eye Surgeons reception or accounts team directly using the contact information on huntereyesurgeons.com.au. They can securely update your billing information for upcoming consultations or scheduled surgery, and advise whether payment plans or staggered payments are available for higher‑cost procedures. It’s best to discuss this before your procedure date so you clearly understand any upfront payments, gaps, and due dates.
