Charges for self-pay patients

The charge for a new consultation is £250  (30 mins/as needed) and that for a follow-up is £150 (20 mins/as needed). Please note that costs for x-rays, scans and any surgery are separate. I will seek the lowest rates for any scans or surgery for my self-pay patients. MRI costs off peak in London are approximately £240. We accept payment by bank transfer (BACS) or cheque only.

Free Knee Surgery at Private Hospitals in Cambridge

Through the NHS e-referral system (formerly called ‘Choose and Book’), UK citizens are entitled to operations at a variety of private hospitals in the UK. Totally free of charge, this service is not known to most people.

Knee replacements, ligament reconstruction and arthroscopic cartilage surgery through Choose and Book are all undertaken by me, free of charge, at both private hospitals in Cambridge.

Please contact your GP or physiotherapist for more details of Choose and Book. Or contact The Cambridge Knee Clinic. Please note, certain restrictions apply. Please see the following for more details of Choose and Book: https://www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/patient-choice/Pages/your-rights-to-choice.aspx

The Cambridge Knee Clinic regularly treats patients referred by Dynamic Health and Allied Health Professionals physiotherapy services, free of charge.
