Common questions
Orthopaedic Consultation FAQs
How much does a private orthopaedic consultation cost?
The consultation costs £249. This covers a 20–30 minute face-to-face appointment, examination, review of existing imaging, a personalised plan and written report. New scans, injections, tests, surgery and follow-up visits are separate.
Can I self-refer to an orthopaedic consultant?
Yes. Adults aged 18 and over can book directly without a GP referral. If you plan to claim through insurance, confirm its referral, authorisation and clinician requirements before booking.
Who will I see?
You will see Mr Peyman Bakhshayesh, Consultant Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgeon, for assessment, a second opinion or advice on surgical and non-surgical options.
What is included in the £249 fee?
The fee includes your history and examination, review of the imaging you bring, a working diagnosis, a personalised next-step plan and a written report. A referral letter is included when clinically required.
When should I see an orthopaedic doctor?
Consider an appointment for persistent joint, muscle or tendon pain; swelling, stiffness, locking or instability; symptoms after injury; an unclear scan result; treatment that has not helped; or a second opinion before a procedure.
What happens at the appointment?
You discuss your symptoms and goals, receive a focused physical examination and review any imaging you bring. The consultant then explains the likely diagnosis, treatment options, further tests and recommended next steps.
What conditions can the consultation cover?
The service covers many shoulder, elbow, hand, wrist, hip, pelvis, knee, ankle and foot problems, as well as persistent sports injuries and post-operative concerns.
Can I get a second opinion before surgery?
Yes. Bring your scan images and reports. The consultant can review the diagnosis and explain surgical and non-surgical options. Booking a consultation does not commit you to treatment.
What is the difference between this consultation and an MSK ultrasound?
A consultation is a clinical examination and management plan, including review of existing imaging. An MSK ultrasound is new diagnostic imaging of a joint, tendon or muscle. The one-stop clinic can combine consultation, ultrasound and a suitable injection.
What should I bring and wear?
Bring MRI, X-ray or ultrasound images and reports, relevant letters, and a list of medicines and allergies. Wear loose clothing that allows the affected region to be examined.
Can a scan or injection be arranged afterwards?
Yes, if clinically appropriate. The consultant can explain whether further imaging or an injection may help. These services are separate from the consultation and carry an additional fee.
When will I receive my report?
The written report is normally emailed the same day or within 24 hours and can be shared with your GP or another clinician. A referral letter is provided when clinically required.
