One of the biggest benefits of seeking private healthcare is that your consultations, investigations and treatments can be arranged according to your convenience, and without delay. Dizziness, imbalance, tinnitus and hearing loss are incredibly debilitating symptoms, and can have much wider effects on one’s quality of life. Having these symptoms treated in a timely way not only means months (or even years) of less suffering, but quicker intervention can also limit the distressing and negative consequences, meaning symptoms do not become as severe in the first place.

Secondly, you get to choose your Consultant of choice. Although there are many Consultants (for example ENT surgeons, Neurologists and other Audiovestibular Physicians) who are good at managing dizziness, imbalance, tinnitus and hearing loss, research shows that a patient with dizziness for example, on average, can see up to 4-5 different doctors before getting an accurate diagnosis. An accurate diagnosis is key for effective management. You want to see the right doctor, first time, and without delay.

Medicine is an ‘art’, not just a ‘science’. A good doctor will have excellent knowledge of relevant conditions, but an exceptional doctor will also be able to communicate that knowledge in an easy to understand way, and be able to identify the nuances which can make all the difference when implementing an effective management plan.

I am very proud to be known for not only my expert knowledge, but also my strong communication skills and holistic approach. I passionately believe that understanding your symptoms and condition is the first step to good and effective management, and I put a lot of emphasis on easy to understand health information. I am humbled by the exceptional feedback I receive from my patients who appreciate and benefit greatly from my approach.

By seeing me privately, you are also guaranteed to be personally seen by me, rather than another member of the NHS team, e.g. an alternative consultant or one of the trainee doctors. As my private patient, you can expect a response to any clinical query typically within 1 working day, and I have a private secretary who can also assist you.

I accept both self-pay and insured private patients, and am a recognised Consultant provider for all the major private insurance companies. Particularly with private health insurance, you may be surprised how affordable highly specialist private healthcare can be.
