How much does a private GP cost?

Private GP consultations at our Whitechapel clinic start from £59, with transparent pricing and no hidden costs. Full pricing for every service — 96 published prices — including blood tests, ultrasound, ADHD assessments and specialist consultations is listed on our fees page.

Do I need a GP referral?

No referral needed for most appointments — you can book directly with a private GP, ultrasound, blood tests or many of our specialist services. A small number of consultant clinics prefer a referral letter, which our GPs can issue same-day if needed.

How quickly can I be seen?

Most private GP appointments are available the same day, including evenings and weekends. We're open Monday to Saturday 9am–7pm at our Whitechapel clinic, serving patients across East London, the City of London, Aldgate and Liverpool Street.

Do you accept private medical insurance?

Many appointments are self-pay with an itemised invoice you can submit to Bupa, AXA, Vitality, Aviva or Cigna for reimbursement where applicable. Please contact our reception team to confirm your specific insurance arrangement before booking.

Educational information — not a substitute for clinical assessment

This page describes shockwave therapy in general terms to help you decide whether an assessment may be useful. It is not a diagnosis and does not promise a particular result. Suitability, the number of sessions and whether treatment is appropriate at all are decided at consultation. Outcomes vary between individuals and treatment is not suitable for everyone.

Why choose us

Specialist Urologist

Treatment delivered by Dr Kishore Bahl, a specialist-grade Consultant Urologist with over 30 years of medical experience.

Advanced focal shockwave

Focal shockwave reaches targets up to approximately 12 cm deep. Radial devices are not designed to reach these deeper structures effectively.

Evidence-based

Evidence-based treatment for urological and musculoskeletal conditions, offered where assessment supports it.

Drug-free

Stimulates the body's natural healing processes without medication, so there is no interaction with your existing prescriptions.

Non-invasive

No surgery. No injections. Minimal recovery time and no anaesthetic required.

Private London clinic

Whitechapel, minutes from Aldgate East and within reach of the City and Tower Bridge. Open Monday to Saturday.

What is shockwave therapy?

Shockwave therapy uses acoustic pressure waves delivered through the skin to a target area of tissue. There is no needle, no incision and no medication.

The waves are generated outside the body and pass through the skin to the treatment site, where the intention is to stimulate the tissue's own repair processes.

Acoustic pressure waves

Energy is delivered mechanically rather than chemically. Nothing is absorbed and nothing enters the bloodstream.

Blood flow

The intended effect includes supporting local blood supply in the treated tissue.

Tissue remodelling

The treatment aims to prompt the body's own repair and remodelling response, including collagen turnover.

Gradual improvement

Benefit, where it occurs, develops over several weeks after a course — not immediately after a single session.

Focal vs radial shockwave

Two broad types of device exist, and the difference matters for what can be treated.

Focal shockwave	Radial shockwave
Targets up to approximately 12 cm deep	Mainly superficial tissues
Precise, concentrated energy delivery	Broad energy spread from the applicator
Can treat deeper structures	Limited penetration with depth
Used in our clinic	Common in lower-cost devices

Our clinic uses focal shockwave technology because it allows accurate treatment of deeper tissues that radial systems cannot effectively reach.

Why focal reaches what radial cannot.

Pulses travel from the probe and converge on a target at depth. The dashed line marks where radial devices stop.
