- Both insured and self-paying patients are welcome.
- Patients can self-refer.
- Referrals from GPs, physiotherapists and other clinicians are also accepted.
- I aim to see the patients within a week or sooner.
Insured patients:
- We will submit an invoice to your insurer once you have been seen in the clinic. You should check with your insurer what your policy covers and whether it covers the cost of investigations (as it is not possible for us to check with your insurer). Your insurance policy may also have an excess amount.
- If some or all of the consultation fee is not covered by the insurer, you will be requested to pay the amount.
Self-funding patients:
- The fees below do not cover the cost of any tests or procedures (such as a joint injection).
Initial consultation fee:
£250
Follow up consultation fee:
£150
