ENT Appointment Booking FAQ

Question 1

How do I book an ENT appointment?

Accepted Answer

You can book an ENT appointment in three ways: 1) Quick Book - book directly through hospital portals for immediate confirmation, 2) Request Booking - submit a request form and receive confirmation within 30 minutes, or 3) Call to Book - speak directly with our team. All methods show real-time availability across our four London locations.

Question 2

What locations are available for ENT appointments?

Accepted Answer

ENT consultations are available at four London hospitals: The Platinum Medical Centre (Wellington HCA) in St John's Wood, The Clementine Churchill Hospital in Harrow, Hendon Hospital in Hendon, and Northwick Park TrustPlus in Harrow. Each location offers different days and times to suit your schedule.

Question 3

How quickly can I get an ENT appointment?

Accepted Answer

Same-week appointments are often available across our locations. You can view real-time availability on our booking calendar and choose from available slots. Emergency appointments can usually be arranged within 24-48 hours by calling our team directly.

Question 4

What's the difference between direct booking and request booking?

Accepted Answer

Direct booking takes you to the hospital's online portal for immediate booking, but may require reselecting your preferred time. Request booking guarantees your exact selected time and our team confirms within 30 minutes. Direct booking is fastest but request booking ensures your preferred slot is reserved.

Question 5

Do you accept insurance for ENT consultations?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we work with all major insurance companies including Bupa, Aviva, AXA, Vitality, Healix, and WPA. Consultation fees are typically covered by insurance, though you should check your policy for any excess or limitations. We also offer self-pay options at £250 for initial consultations.

Question 6

What should I expect during an ENT consultation?

Accepted Answer

Your ENT consultation includes a comprehensive examination of your ears, nose, and throat. Mr Hariri will discuss your symptoms, medical history, and recommend any necessary tests or treatments. The consultation typically lasts 30 minutes and may include nasal endoscopy or other diagnostic procedures if needed.

Question 7

Can I book a same-day or emergency ENT appointment?

Accepted Answer

Emergency and urgent ENT appointments can often be arranged on the same day or within 24 hours. Please call our team directly on +44 (0)20 7483 5148 for urgent appointments rather than using the online booking system. We understand that ENT issues can be uncomfortable and aim to see urgent cases as quickly as possible.

Question 8

What are the consultation fees?

Accepted Answer

Initial ENT consultations are £250 for self-pay patients, and follow-up consultations are £150. These fees are typically covered by private medical insurance. Mr Hariri does not charge additional fees for in-clinic procedures such as nasal endoscopy and wax microsuction, however the hospital may charge an additional facility fee for these services.
