How do I make an appointment?
I treat private patients and choose and book NHS patients at Thornbury Hospital. You could either request an appointment using the online form found in the home page or call/text 07544825790 and leave a message with your details.
Do I always need a referral letter?
No, you do not need a referral letter if you are paying for your treatment. However, most insurance companies require a referral letter from your GP.
How long will my appointment last for?
Each appointment usually lasts for 15-30 minutes depending on the complexity of your problem.
If I require surgery, how will this be organised?
After your initial consultation, assessment and investigation, if surgery is deemed necessary, you will be scheduled a date for your operation, based on your convenience and availability.
All surgical procedures have a code that insurers and hospitals use and you should inform your insurance company regarding your planned surgery.
Are you recognised by my insurance company?
I am recognised by all the major insurance companies as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon.
How long will I stay in hospital?
Most keyhole surgeries are done as day case procedures. Joint replacements and other major procedures require 2-3 days stay in hospital.
Do I always need a private medical insurance to be seen?
No. Self-pay options are available.
