Going private in NI - ENT

jenny-wren

I've been hanging on waiting for an urgent NHS ENT appointment but, as the waiting list is over 12 months, I've now been given a private referral from my doctor.  Although it's the opposite of money saving, I've got to the stage where I have to do something.

Can anyone recommend a particular hospital or consultant to make an appointment with?  I'm in Belfast.

I can recommend Mr Neil Bailie at Ulster Independent Clinic, he helped my father greatly when other consultants were misdiagnosing his condition.

I would avoid Ulster Independent Clinic which is currently under investigation https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/ulster-independent-clinic-urged-to-act-to-ensure-patient-safety-38841680.html
We have had good experiences in Kingsbridge Private Hospital but no experience of ENT https://kingsbridgeprivatehospital.com/

Virtually all private work will have stopped unfortunately. Hope OP got sorted.

I was offered an NHS appointment .. which was postponed and then cancelled so unfortunately I'm back on the waiting list.  At least I know I should be called shortly after things start to return to normal.

Thanks everyone for your replies.
