  We are aware that many patients are self-funding and in these instances it is preferable to have a GP letter, but not always required.  We have many self pay packages that provide transparent pricing to patients upfront, these can be found on our website on the fees page.  If you have any questions regarding the price of our service,  please contact our team.

• Is there a minimum age for an appointment?

  The minimum age for a patient to have an appointment varies by consultant:

  • Mr Pisal, Miss Flemming and Miss Wilson minimum age is 16 years
  • Mrs Pisal will see patients of any age
  • Mr Phadnis or Miss Bowring, Mr Vakharia, Ms Khinder, Ms Swer and Miss Shah’s minimum age is 18 years

  Any patient under 16 should make the practice aware when enquiring so we can contact the patient to understand more about their medical issue as it may be that the patient needs to be seen by another doctor.

  If you are under the age of 18 you must bring a parent or a guardian to your appointment.
