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 Saravana 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

You can book online, and 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, and consultant fees are set out on our consultant fees page.
