Please Suggest Any Otolaryngology Specialists In Adelaide That Work Through Medicare

Hello my name is Margaret My query is that I am told that I need to have an operation to unblock a tear duct but the specialist that I have been referred to does not bulk bill. I have to pay out between one and two thousand dollars for the operation which I can not afford as I am only on a pension and do not have any Health cover. Do you know of any Otolaryngology specialists in Adelaide that work through Medicare that would be able to help me. Margaret Smith
