Dr Guy Ratu
Dr Guy Ratu is a General Practitioner with Extended Role (GPwER) in Ophthalmology, Dermatology, Cosmetic Dermatology and Minor Surgery, with over eight years of experience in general practice. He sees both NHS and private patients, including children, and consults at The Vesey in Sutton Coldfield. He holds Postgraduate Diplomas in Ophthalmology and in Dermatology, both awarded with Distinction by the University of Plymouth. He is a Bupa-recognised GP and writes as a medical author for the Holland & Barrett Health Hub. His extended role means several things that would normally need a separate referral can often be handled in a single appointment — skin lesion assessment and removal, eye assessment, and minor surgical procedures alongside general practice.

What to expect
Your appointment starts with a conversation — your symptoms, your history, and what matters to you about sorting it out. Bring a list of any medication you take, and any recent test results or letters from other clinicians if you have them.
You will leave knowing what Guy thinks is going on, what — if anything — needs investigating, and what happens next. If you need tests, imaging or a follow-up, we will arrange it before you leave, and write to your GP if you would like us to.
Booking and referrals
Appointments are arranged by enquiry — get in touch and we will find you a slot. You do not need a GP referral for a self-pay appointment. If you are using private medical insurance, your insurer will usually ask for a referral first — see how insurance works at The Vesey. Fees for every service are on our price list.
