Wanted: PAED & ENT recommendation

[linzkg]

Hi,

I need to find a PAED for my 2 year old and also an ENT specialist .. any recommendations please?

Thanks!

Try the NHS?!

I'm travelling back home for a couple of weeks especially for my son to see some specialists .. and my worry is the NHS could take some time to get in to be seen and any follow ups / referrals they could take time too.

Will pm you

There is a good paediatric/ENT department at the Evelina (St Thomas' Hospital) - you can ask your GP to refer directly - patient choice and all that...

Thanks very much - the 3rd recommendation for them - I'll give them a call in the morning!

My son was referred to Evelina and the wait was almost 6 months for an appt. This was for a gastro paed but just something to be cautious of.

I ended up going private to Harley St Paediatrics. Bupa covered it all on the basis that I had been referred for NHS treatment. I just used the copy of the Evelina letter I had.

Ah, as I thought - thanks for letting me know - I will be going private straight away - I'm heading home from overseas especially to have my son seen so only have a few weeks - especially if there are more procedures/referrals.

And just thought NHS won't see us as currently we're 'not' residents so not paying taxes hey .. hmmm ..
