Private Referral

Im currently waiting an NHS referral but am driven to distraction as my symptoms worsen.Ive been told it could be some time before I get an appt so I am now considering paying to go private.

I live in Sunderland so can anyone recommend an ms specialist in the north of england. I don’t think there is anyone close by. I am prepared to travel. Ive heard about Prof Chattaway in London & I understand there is someone in Leeds but would rather go on recommendations.

Many thanks!

Hi Tarkev,

I’m in the same situation so far I’ve had 4 appointments with the NHS cancelled and now I’m back to waiting for another one to be booked.

All the waiting is horrible as things seem to get worse.

I’ve been considering private too but no idea of what it will cost?

I’m not sure if this is the name of the doctor my husband found but I’ll check and thank you.

Do you know someone who has seen them just when you say they have a good reputation?

That’s so awful, I can’t imagine your disappointment.

I checked & a MRI scan would be around £500 & then the consultation on top but each consultant will have a different price. I’d think around £200/300. It’s a lot of money but the worrying and waiting is awful. I’m trying to not think about it but when the symptoms are there it’s difficult not to
