Making an appointment

If you want to pay for your own treatment, you can make an appointment directly with us or, if you prefer, you can ask your GP to refer you.

If you wish to use private medical insurance you must get a GP referral. Be sure to check with your insurance provider that they are able to cover the treatment you would like.

If you are paying for yourself, we can usually offer an upfront cost which you can then choose to pay in full or access one of our easy payment options.

If you have insurance, we can arrange direct settlement with your insurance provider, although you should check in advance to see if your treatment is covered. For more information, visit our private medical insurance page.
