Patients often ask how to arrange an appointment for nasal blockage, septoplasty, septorhinoplasty or rhinoplasty. The booking process is straightforward, and you do not need a GP referral if you are self-funding.
I see patients privately at two main hospitals in Hampshire, and each hospital has a dedicated secretary who manages appointments.
I am Mr Tim Biggs, Consultant ENT & Rhinology Surgeon specialising in nasal surgery, rhinoplasty and sinus surgery.
Booking at Medicana Winchester (Breathing, Septoplasty, Sinus Surgery)
If your main problem is:
Blocked nose
Breathing problems
Septoplasty
