I also run a dedicated early pregnancy / recurrent miscarriage clinic for couples at the Bridge Clinic, Maidenhead in a homely and confidential environment. This is a one stop clinic where I consult, perform ultrasound scan and do other investigations (if needed) at the same visit to arrive at a diagnosis on the same day. For more information, please check on my clinic web page: http://www.bridge-clinic.com/early-pregnancy-clinic or call bridge clinic on 01628 760911.

I also run a one stop Gynaecology and well women clinics where I consult, examine, perform ultrasound scan (if needed) and other investigations (if needed) to arrive at a diagnosis at the same visit. This is a unique service which is quite popular among women as diagnosis is made at the 1st visit most of the time and thereby reduces the need for further appointments and delay. 

Please call my secretary, Jo / Jean on 01628 760060 or call the hospitals directly. You can also email [email protected] or click the appointment link on the home page. Please see contact section for more details.

Private health insurance-

We will invoice your insurance company directly for payments. You may have to pay any excess depending on your policy terms and conditions. We will invoice you directly for any shortfall (excess) from your insurance policy. All invoices should be settled within 28 days.

Self-funding –

We will invoice you and collect the payment after the consultation. You can pay by credit or debit card. If you wish you can also pay by bank transfer or by cheque. All invoices should be settled within 28 days.

It depends on your policy terms and conditions. Please read your policy terms or contact your insurance provider for details and confirmation.
Yes I am recognised by all major health insurance providers. In addition, I am also an open referral network consultant for Bupa.
Please read your insurance policy to confirm you are covered for the consultation and any procedures. You should call your insurance provider to confirm this with an authorisation number. Please contact my secretary on 01628 760060 for any advice and assistance. As most Gynaecology patients need a pelvic ultrasound scan, it is advisable to confirm with your insurer whether pelvic ultrasound scan is also covered by your policy. Most of the insurers authorise US scan with the initial consultation.
I am very flexible and most of my patients will be seen within few days. Sometimes I may be able to see you on the same or the following day depending on my availability. Please contact my secretary or hospital receptions for availability
It is recommended to involve your GP and get a referral before consultation. This helps me to identify your previous medical history and treatments received. However this is your choice and I am happy to see you without your GP referral. If you have private health insurance, it is important to check your insurance policy regarding private consultations as many policies require a GP referral for authorisation of payment.
I will go through your concerns and previous medical history. Examination may involve an internal examination depending on your complain. A female nursing staff will be present and help me during examination. After the examination, I may advise you for further investigations. You may be offered an ultrasound scan at the same visit depending on your complain and examination findings.
Please bring your GP referral letter if you have one. Please also bring any medical records and correspondence letters with medical professionals and details of any medications you are currently taking. If you have private health insurance, please bring your membership and authorisation numbers.
Yes, you are welcome to bring anyone with you.
I perform surgeries at the following hospitals,
