Appointments

Appointments can be booked by phone, online or by visiting the clinic personally. To see a consultant privately you will need a letter of referral from your general practitioner or other professional clinician.

This letter will give us a named consultant or an indication of which type (speciality) of consultant you will need to be given an appointment with. The referral letter is important as it will give the consultant some medical history and your current symptoms.

Our reception staff will help to make the process as stress free as possible and every effort will be made to offer appointments which will suit your needs. We provide appointments for NHS patients through the E-booking system, which will need to be coordinated by patient’s own general practitioner.

How to book an appointment

Appointments can be booked by:

Booking an appointment – Insured patients

If you have private medical insurance you will need to contact your private health provider prior to your appointment and check that you are covered for the planned treatment, including your first out-patient appointment. Your insurance company will provide you with a pre-authorisation number or claim number.

You will need to provide Sutton Medical Consulting Ltd with a membership number and the pre authorisation/claim number at the time of booking the appointment.

Booking an appointment – Uninsured patients

We will be able to provide you with the consultation fee on request and if you should need any further treatment, we will be able to provide you with the charge that the centre will make for any diagnostic tests or procedures.

It is important to make patients aware that during the consultation it may be necessary for the consultant to carry out some diagnostic tests, to assist with his diagnosis. The centre and the consultant will make a charge for these tests.
