Joint noises: such as clicking, cracking, crunching, grating or popping

WHY USE LIVINGCARE?

NO REFERRAL REQUIRED

Whilst most healthcare organisations require a GP referral for a specialist service, here at LivingCare we can produce that GP referral for you through our team of Private GPs

EASY TO ACCESS

With one phone call, one email or one message we can get you booked in for a consultation.

We do not want you waiting around feeling ill. We will let you choose when you come and see us, rather than telling you when we are free.

COMPLETE PATHWAY

Our specialist consultants can provide a full pathway including some of the best technology in the world. We can provide you with support from first symptoms through to investigation and treatment.

Step 1

Patient contacts our team with a brief description of their symptoms. All responses are addressed within 2 hours of the enquiry and will be answered within the hours of 8am - 5pm between Monday and Friday.

Step 2

Within 48 hours, our private services team will then book an appointment at a convenient time for you. This will be a face to face with our Consultant Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgeon Mr Carter.

Step 3

The patient will then attend our Thorpe Park Clinic on the specified date and time. During the appointment if any tests or treatments are required, this may be completed within the same appointment slot. This may incur a separate charge.

Step 4

However, if a further appointment is required the consultant will complete an external referral and arrange this for the patient.

Step 5
