The Referral Process

You’ll receive clear explanations, gentle handling, and a written action plan. Sedation is only given when it improves comfort or image clarity. The team provide details of the next steps, timelines, and costs before any treatment begins.
What Happens After Specialist Care
A plain-English summary, home-care advice, and re-examination dates are provided. For further testing or surgery, we coordinate appointments and follow-up so you have a dedicated point of contact. Our team works closely with external specialists when advanced approaches are required.
