Unhurried care, from people who remember you

Time that suits what you came for, and the same consultant every visit if you would rather. We book to time because we run to time.

In their words

“I had been putting it off for months because I could never get through on the phone. I filled in two boxes on a Sunday night and someone rang me at nine on Monday morning with three times to choose from. That was the whole thing. That was all it took.”
Hannah, 34Registered as a new patient, seen the same week
  • “Rang at half eight on a Monday with a poorly toddler and had a nurse appointment at twenty past four the same day. I have never had that anywhere else.”

    Hannah W.Child health, seen same day

  • “Dr Nandakumar gave me half an hour and actually listened. After two years of being told it was stress, I finally have a diagnosis and a plan.”

    Ruth A.Menopause care

  • “The price is on the website, which is why I called. No consultation fee to ask a question, and the bill was exactly what it said it would be.”

    Idris M.Full health check

  • “Bloods on the Tuesday, results and a phone call from the doctor on the Thursday morning. That is how it should work.”

    Peter S.Diabetes review

  • “Twenty minutes, and nobody looked at the clock once. I did not realise how much I had stopped expecting that.”

    Aoife D.Mental health appointment

  • “They sorted the insurance pre-authorisation themselves. I did not make a single phone call.”

    Tom B.Minor procedure

  • “My son sees the same nurse every time. He actually asks for her now, which tells you everything.”

    Priya R.Child health

What we take off you

The medicine is the easy part. We handle the rest.

  • We do the paperwork

    Registration, insurance pre-authorisation and referral letters are handled here. You sign once.

  • One person owns your case

    A named coordinator sees it through, so you are never explaining your history to a stranger again.

  • The price before the visit

    You are told the cost, and what your insurer covers, before anything is booked. Never after.

  • Parking and access sorted

    Two accessible bays held for booked appointments, level entry, and a lift to both floors.

How it works

Four steps, no phone queue

  1. Tell us what you need

    Two fields to start. No account, no portal, no password to reset before you can ask for help.

  2. We confirm a real time

    Within the hour during opening hours, with the clinician's name on it — not a promise to ring you back at some point.

  3. You are seen, unhurried

    Twenty minutes as standard, thirty for anything mental health related. We run to time because we book to time.

  4. Everything in writing

    A summary of what was said, what happens next, and who to contact. Results follow as soon as they land.

Questions

Before you book

Requests sent during opening hours are answered the same day, usually inside the hour. Anything that arrives overnight or at the weekend is answered first thing when we reopen, and you will get a confirmation either way rather than silence.

No. New patients can request an appointment here and we will send the registration form with the confirmation, so it is done before you arrive rather than in the waiting room.

Yes, and the form lets you choose. If they are not available in your preferred window we will offer the next slot with them as well as an earlier one with a colleague, and you decide which you would rather have.

Every price is published on this page. There is no fee to ask a question, no charge for a prescription we have already agreed, and no separate booking fee. If something falls outside the published list we tell you the cost before we do it.

Most major insurers are accepted. Give us the policy number when you book and we will check cover and tell you what, if anything, you will be asked to pay before your appointment rather than after it.

Yes, and it is often the quickest route for a short question or to move an appointment. It is answered by reception during opening hours, not by a bot. Please do not send clinical photographs or test results that way — it is not the right place for them, and we will ask you to bring them in instead.

Yes. There is a referral form for GPs, consultants, dentists and other clinicians, and we contact the patient directly to arrange a time rather than sending it back through you. We write back once they have been seen. Urgent referrals are picked up the same working day.

For reviews, results and anything that does not need examining, yes. Book as you normally would and ask for video in the notes. If it turns out you need to be seen in person, we will say so rather than make do.

Write to us and we will answer within one month, free of charge. You can also ask us to correct something you think is wrong. What we hold and why is set out in full in our privacy notice.

Reply to the confirmation message. Cancelling frees the slot for someone else automatically, which is why we ask rather than rely on no-shows.

Book

Request an appointment

It takes about a minute. You will get a confirmation with a time, not a promise to call you back at some point.

  • How quickly will I hear back?
  • Do I need to be registered to book?
  • Can I request a specific clinician?

If this is a medical emergency, come straight to our emergency department — open 24 hours, no appointment needed — or ring our A&E line on +44 20 7946 0911. Do not use this form.
