How to choose the best consultant gynaecologist
If you live in the UK and are experiencing gynaecological issues, don’t give up hope! Boasting a range of gynaecology consultants, it isn’t hard to choose the right one for your specific needs. However, that isn’t to say you shouldn’t do your research beforehand.
External resources such as the Private Healthcare Information Network (PHIN) website can make finding the best gynaecologist near you a much more straightforward task.
Alongside this, you should do your own research. Paying special attention to the following factors can help narrow down your search:
Specialities and experience Consider the consultants’ experience. You should look at the number of years they’ve been practising and whether they frequently perform the specific type of surgery you need. Specialists with extensive experience in your specific procedure often provide the best outcomes.
Reputation and reviews Patient reviews can give you valuable insights into a consultant’s approach, bedside manner and quality of care. Look for testimonials on hospital websites, third-party patient review sites, or forums.
You should also ask friends, family, or even your GP for recommendations – a personal referral can be very reassuring.
Costs and ways to pay Despite all the benefits of private healthcare, it does, unfortunately come at a cost. It’s important to understand the fees upfront. Most private consultants provide a breakdown of costs, including consultation fees, diagnostic tests, and surgery.
With Wellsoon from Practice Plus Group, we like to keep things simple and transparent. An initial consultation is always £95, no matter which expert you see or where you live. Our elective surgery prices are fixed across all of our locations so there are no unpleasant surprises.
It’s also worth keeping an open mind with regards to NHS and private treatment. Regardless of whether you have your heart set on one specific healthcare route, checking out what your experience might look like on the other path could prove extremely valuable.
It’s worth bearing in mind that some treatments may not be available at all Practice Plus Group locations.
How it works
Get set: we’re about to explore what to expect at each stage of the gynaecological treatment process.
Getting a gynaecologist referral
With Wellsoon from Practice Plus Group, you won’t need a GP referral. Simply call us on 0330 818 8945 or fill in an online enquiry form and we’ll be in touch to book your consultation.
If you’re seeking gynaecological treatment via the NHS, you will need to get a referral from your GP before you can proceed to the consultation stage. This could take several weeks depending on the severity of your condition.
Waiting times for NHS gynaecology consultations vary but are typically between 12 and 25 weeks depending on where in the country you’re seeking your treatment. The My Planned Care* website is a regularly updated resource that shows the different waiting times for hospitals across England.

What happens at a gynaecologist appointment?
We’ve looked at getting yourself booked in, now it’s time to find out what happens at your surgery consultation. During the appointment, the consultant will ask about your current health along with your family medical history. Depending on the circumstances, you may also need a physical examination. If your consultant believes treatment is needed, a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs will be devised.
Tests and imaging
During your consultation, the specialist may need to take diagnostic images to help arrive at a diagnosis. X-rays are included in the £95 cost of your consultation. However, MRI and ultrasound scans will incur a further one-off cost. If these are necessary, your consultant will clearly explain why and give you a fixed price. While your consultant will strive to get any diagnostic imaging done on the day you’re with us, unfortunately this isn’t always possible. If we do need to get you back in, we’ll make sure this is at a time to suit you.
Private gynaecologist prices
At Wellsoon from Practice Plus Group, our gynaecology treatment prices range from £309 to £7,049. The price you pay depends on the type of treatment you need but it’s also fixed. There are no hidden charges or surprise invoices – the price you see is the price you pay!
The type of procedure will determine whether the patient has local, general, or no anaesthetic at all. Under general anaesthetic and deep sedation, the patient is not aware of the procedure taking place. Under a local anaesthesia or without any anaesthesia at all, the surgeon usually takes the patient through the procedure (if they wish to be informed). The assistant or a member of the theatre team will be on hand to offer support throughout the surgery.
Aftercare
After surgery, the patient is taken to the Post-Anaesthesia Care Unit (PACU). The nursing team monitors their vital signs (temperature, pulse, respiratory rate, alertness, pain or discomfort) and administers any medications that are required. Day case patients are discharged home (if fit for discharge). In-patients are taken to the ward.
After discharge, specific instructions are provided by the surgeon and physiotherapist. These need to be followed carefully to encourage proper recovery. Patients may be advised to stay mobile to prevent DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) and embolism. Patients will likely be told to avoid activities such as heavy lifting in case of prolapse surgery.
Patients recover at different rates, depending on a number of factors. In general, patients should expect to be fully recovered within a few months depending on the type of procedure that was carried out.
