Clinics offering orthopaedic consultation
Good to know before you book
A private orthopaedic appointment is a session with a consultant surgeon who specialises in bones and joints: knees, hips, shoulders, backs, hands and feet. At the first visit they'll assess you physically and review any imaging you already have. From there they might order an X-ray or MRI, suggest physiotherapy or injections, or talk through surgical options.
Fees depend on the consultant and location, and on whether you need imaging on the day. One tip: orthopaedic consultants usually sub-specialise by joint, so finding the right consultant matters as much as finding the right price. Check the clinic covers the specialism your problem needs.
If joint pain is stopping you walking, sleeping or working, it's a very common reason to skip the queue, since orthopaedics has some of the longest NHS waits of any specialty. A private consultation gets you a specialist opinion and a plan within days, and you can always go back to the NHS for the treatment itself once you have a diagnosis.
