Private Urology Clinic in London

A first private consultation with a consultant urologist usually runs from £200 to £350 in London, and that is the consultation on its own, before any tests. Scans, urine work and blood tests are then charged separately, which is how a straightforward first visit often reaches £500 to £800 by the time the results are back.

We work the other way round. The testing is the product here, so a prostate and bladder ultrasound is £219, a kidney, bladder and urinary tract scan is £219, and the Prostate Health Check at £599 bundles the imaging, PSA, urine testing, wider bloods and a GP appointment into one price. Nothing is added on afterwards.

There is no single name, and the ranked lists you find searching for one are usually advertising. London has a large number of consultant urologists and they sub-specialise heavily, so the right one depends on what you have. Prostate cancer, stones, reconstruction, andrology and female urology are all separate practices in reality.

The useful checks are the GMC specialist register, which confirms the consultant is on the urology list, the hospital they operate at, and whether they routinely treat your specific problem. We are a diagnostic clinic rather than a surgical practice, so we do not compete with that. What we do is the testing stage, and a written report from us makes that first consultation shorter and more useful.

Generally between £2,000 and £3,500, and a multiparametric MRI beforehand adds roughly £800 to £1,500. We do not offer either, and neither is the first step.

UK practice is to start with a PSA blood test, a clinical assessment and prostate volume measurement, then use MRI to decide whether a biopsy is needed at all. A good proportion of men with a raised PSA turn out not to need one, because the reading is explained by prostate size, inflammation or infection. Our Prostate Health Check at £599 covers that first stage, and the report gives a urologist the numbers they need if a biopsy discussion follows.

On the NHS it depends on the route. An urgent suspected cancer referral has a two-week target for the first appointment, though imaging and results afterwards add to that. A routine urology referral is usually somewhere between a few weeks and several months depending on the trust and the time of year, and each step of the pathway is a separate wait: the appointment, then the scan, then the follow-up.

Privately you can be seen the same week and often the same day. Here there is no referral at all. You book a test directly, the findings are explained during your appointment, and the written report follows within 24 hours.

GP-led and diagnostic. Your scan is performed and reported by a registered ultrasound clinician, and a GMC-registered GP reviews the results, explains them and writes the report. We do not have a consultant urological surgeon on site and we do not perform biopsy, cystoscopy, urodynamics, lithotripsy or any urological surgery.

What that gets you is speed and price: the tests a urologist would order, done in days rather than weeks, at a fraction of the cost of a consultation plus separately billed investigations. Where surgical or specialist care is the right next step, your report and referral letter support it, and a private GP consultation can be arranged at extra cost.

Urology is the medical specialty covering the urinary tract in everyone and the male reproductive organs. That means the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra, plus the prostate, testicles and penis. In an NHS hospital it is usually a surgical department, which is why people searching for a urology department or a urology ward are often looking for a hospital rather than a clinic.

The commonest reasons to book are urinary symptoms such as a weak stream or getting up at night, blood in the urine, suspected kidney stones, a testicular lump or ache, a raised PSA, recurrent urine infections and erectile difficulties.

No referral is needed for anything on this page. You book directly online, by phone or through WhatsApp, and same-day and next-day appointments are usually available at both clinics, seven days a week from 9am to 7pm.

Scan findings are explained during your appointment and the written report follows within 24 hours. Most blood panels come back in one to three working days. Nothing goes to your NHS GP, your employer or your insurer unless you ask us to send it.

For a weak or slow stream, getting up at night, hesitancy or a feeling that the bladder has not emptied, the first test is the Prostate & Bladder Ultrasound at £219. It measures prostate volume, looks at the bladder wall and measures how much urine is left behind after you go, which is the most useful single number for judging whether the bladder is coping.

For flank pain, suspected stones or blood in the urine, the Kidney, Bladder & Urinary Tract scan at £219 is the one, because it covers both kidneys as well. If you want PSA, urine culture and a GP appointment alongside the imaging, the Prostate Health Check at £599 packages all of it.

Visible blood in the urine always needs assessing, even once, even if it clears up on its own and even if it is painless. Most causes are not sinister, with infection and stones accounting for many of them, though bladder and kidney cancer both present this way and both are far more treatable when caught early.

Contact your GP or NHS 111 the same day rather than waiting. UK guidance is a referral on an urgent suspected cancer pathway for visible haematuria, and that pathway includes cystoscopy, which we do not provide. Imaging can be part of the workup and our kidney and urinary tract scan covers the upper tract, so it sits alongside that referral rather than replacing it.

PSA is included in the Prostate Health Check at £599, alongside the ultrasound, urine testing, wider bloods and a GP appointment, and it is also part of the Stockholm3 test at £719. We do not currently sell PSA as a standalone test.

Volume matters because a larger prostate produces more PSA on its own, so a big gland can push the reading above the usual range with nothing sinister behind it. Dividing PSA by the measured volume gives PSA density, which helps a clinician judge whether a borderline result needs investigating. That calculation needs both numbers, which is the argument for booking the scan and the blood test together.

Not here. Our prostate scan is transabdominal, performed externally over the lower abdomen with gel and a handheld probe, with nothing inserted. You need a comfortably full bladder for the first part and the whole appointment takes 20 to 30 minutes.

Transrectal ultrasound, or TRUS, uses a probe placed in the rectum and is mainly used to guide a biopsy under urology care, which is a hospital procedure rather than an outpatient scan. UK guidance now favours MRI before biopsy, so TRUS is used more selectively than it once was.

Book a Testicular & Scrotal Ultrasound at £219 and do it soon rather than waiting to see whether it settles. Ultrasound is the definitive first-line imaging test for a scrotal lump and it distinguishes between the common harmless findings, such as a cyst, a hydrocele or a varicocele, and something that needs urgent specialist review. Findings are explained during your appointment, so you are not waiting days to know which of those you are dealing with.

One exception, and it matters. Sudden severe testicular pain, particularly with swelling or vomiting, can be testicular torsion, which is a surgical emergency with a window of a few hours. Go to A&E rather than booking a scan.

Recurrent UTIs are one of the commonest reasons people look for a urology clinic, and they affect women far more often than men. The useful first steps are a urine culture to identify the organism and its sensitivities, and imaging of the kidneys and bladder to look for the structural reasons an infection keeps coming back, such as stones, incomplete emptying or an abnormality of the collecting system.

Our kidney, bladder and urinary tract scan at £219 covers that imaging, and the Kidney Stones Health Check from £449 adds the laboratory work and a GP appointment. In men, recurrent infection is less common and more likely to point to the prostate or to incomplete bladder emptying, so the prostate and bladder scan is usually added.

Yes, and it is a normal thing to ask for. Female Ultrasound Consultants work at the clinic and you can request one when you book, at no extra cost and subject to the rota, so ask at the time of booking rather than on the day. A chaperone is available on request for any examination.

Worth knowing that female urology, meaning bladder problems, incontinence and pelvic floor conditions in women, is a recognised sub-specialty in its own right. If you are searching for a female urologist because of the condition rather than the clinician’s gender, say so when you call and we will point you at the right test.

Yes, and that is what the report is written for. You get a full written report with images, in plain English and suitable for a consultant urologist, your NHS GP or an insurer, normally within 24 hours. Where a finding needs onward care we include a referral letter at no extra charge.

Arriving at a urology appointment with prostate volume, post-void residual, PSA and a urine result already measured usually means that consultation is spent on a plan rather than on ordering tests and waiting again. We are independent and take no referral fees, so nothing here steers you towards a particular provider.

Our Central London clinic is at 27 Welbeck Street, W1G 8EN, in the Harley Street Medical District, two minutes from Bond Street on the Elizabeth, Central and Jubilee lines. That is roughly 15 minutes from Liverpool Street, Canary Wharf and Stratford in east London, 10 from Paddington, 15 from Victoria, Waterloo and London Bridge, and a short journey from Islington, Camden and north London.

The second clinic is at 54–56 Victoria Street, St Albans AL1 3HZ, a short walk from St Albans City station, which is usually quicker if you are anywhere in Hertfordshire, Watford, Hatfield, Harpenden or Barnet. Both open seven days a week, 9am to 7pm, at the same prices.
