Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a GP referral to see Mr Andrew White?
If you are a self-paying patient, a GP referral is generally not required to book an initial consultation. However, if you are using private medical insurance, most providers (such as Bupa or AXA) will require a GP or physiotherapist referral letter before they authorise your claim.
How quickly can I book an appointment in Peterborough?
Appointments at the Fitzwilliam Hospital are typically available within a week of your request. You can book directly by calling the hospital or through the online booking portals on Top Doctors and Ramsay Health.
What should I expect during my first consultation?
Your initial consultation will usually be 30 minutes to allow sufficient time for discussion and examination. Mr White will discuss your medical history, perform a physical examination of your shoulder or elbow, and may arrange for diagnostic imaging, such as an X-ray or MRI, to be performed at the hospital.
How long is the recovery time for shoulder arthroscopy (keyhole surgery)?
Recovery varies by individual, but most patients return to light daily activities within 2 to 6 weeks. For more complex procedures like a rotator cuff repair, a full recovery of strength and mobility can take between 3 and 6 months.
Is shoulder replacement surgery successful?
Yes, shoulder replacement is a highly successful procedure for treating advanced arthritis. Modern implants are designed to be long-lasting, with many lasting 10 years or more, significantly reducing pain and improving the quality of life for patients.
How much does a private consultation cost?
For self-funding patients, an initial consultation is typically £250, with follow-up appointments priced around £150. A full quotation for surgical procedures can be provided following your initial assessment.
