Consultations can be arranged at the Nuffield Health York Hospital through the administrative team there on 01904 715 111.

We will normally request a referral from your general practitioner, though if you are transferring from the NHS the existing referral and correspondence may suffice.

The clinic details and consultation fee can be obtained through the Nuffield hospital, but usually new appointments will be made to a face-to-face clinic and the standard new patient appointment fee is £200. Clinics are offered on Tuesday evenings and Wednesday mornings.
