Costs & medical insurance

Insured patients

I am recognised as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon by all the major healthcare insurance companies (BUPA, BUPA International, AXA PPP, WPA, Norwich Union Aviva, Standard Life, Medisure, Pruhealth, Saga, Cigna etc.)

As a consultant surgeon I am able to provide diagnostic services in addition to day case and inpatient surgical treatment.

Self-funding patients

Increasingly patients without private medical insurance are opting to fund their own medical treatment in the private sector.

Following an initial consultation and subsequent investigations, a diagnosis will be made and a management plan formulated. Based on this plan a fixed price cost for any surgical treatment may be provided. In general private hospitals will require payment in full before the treatment is provided.
