Taunton Hospital FAQs
-
How do I get an appointment to see a consultant?You would need to see your GP, or one of our private GPs, who will then make a referral to see one of our consultants. For cosmetic surgery and weight loss surgery consultant appointments, seeing a GP first is not essential but it is still recommended.
-
How long would it take me to get an appointment?We endeavour to ensure all private patients will be seen within a few days and at a time that is convenient for you. Our appointments are designed to be flexible around your needs and activities.
-
Can I choose which consultant I wish to see?Yes, as a private patient you can choose your consultant.
-
Do you offer treatment for children?No, unfortunately, we do not see any patients under the age of 18 at our Taunton Hospital.
-
Would my surgery be conducted by a junior doctor?No, our hospital only works with consultants and therefore you can be assured of the highest level of clinical care. Your appointments, surgery and follow ups will be conducted by your consultant.
