A private gynaecologist diagnoses and treats a wide range of women’s health conditions, including heavy periods, endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, pelvic pain, pelvic organ prolapse, menopause symptoms, and abnormal cervical smear results.
How quickly can I get a private gynaecology appointment?
Private gynaecology appointments are often available within a few days, depending on availability. This allows faster access to specialist assessment, diagnosis, and treatment compared to standard referral routes.

We provide private gynaecology consultations for patients in Windsor, Harrow, and Wexham, offering convenient access to specialist women’s health care across these areas.
Do I need a referral to see a private gynaecologist?
No referral is required. You can book directly for a consultation, which allows quicker access to diagnosis, investigations, and treatment.
What symptoms should I see a gynaecologist for?
You should consider seeing a gynaecologist if you experience symptoms such as heavy or irregular periods, pelvic pain, bloating, postmenopausal bleeding, painful intercourse, or abnormal cervical smear results.
What tests might I need during my appointment?
Depending on your symptoms, investigations may include an ultrasound scan, blood tests, cervical screening review, or further diagnostic procedures such as hysteroscopy or colposcopy.
Can you help with menopause symptoms?
Yes. Menopause care includes assessment of symptoms such as hot flushes, sleep disturbance, mood changes, and vaginal dryness, with treatment options such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and lifestyle support.
How do I book a private gynaecology appointment?
You can book an appointment directly through the website. Early consultation is recommended if you are experiencing persistent or concerning gynaecological symptoms.
How long is a consultation?
A typical initial consultation lasts approximately 30 minutes, although additional time may be needed depending on the complexity of your concerns.
Can I bring someone with me?
Yes. You are welcome to bring a partner, relative or friend with you if you wish.
Do I need to have an examination?
Not necessarily. This depends on your symptoms and the reason for your consultation. If an examination is appropriate, I will explain why and obtain your consent beforehand.
Can I bring my previous medical records or scan results?
Yes. Previous ultrasound or MRI reports, blood test results, clinic letters and details of previous treatments can be very helpful. Please bring these with you or arrange for them to be available before your appointment.
Can I have a second opinion?
Yes. I regularly see patients who would like an independent second opinion about a diagnosis, investigation or proposed treatment. I will review the available information and discuss the options with you.
Will I have a choice about my treatment?
Where there is more than one appropriate treatment option, I will explain the benefits, limitations and potential risks of each. My aim is to help you make a well-informed decision that is right for you.
What if I am embarrassed about discussing my symptoms?
There is no need to feel embarrassed. Gynaecological problems are extremely common. I aim to provide a confidential, respectful and non-judgemental environment where you can discuss your concerns openly.
What happens after my consultation?
I will explain my assessment and recommend the next steps. This may involve reassurance, further investigations, treatment or referral to another specialist if appropriate.
You will have plenty of opportunity to ask questions and discuss your concerns.
