Due to Dr Nettle’s excellent reputation, his wait time can be quite long. We do however aim to get you in at the first available time. We can also put you on a wait list as sometimes earlier appointments do become available.
We recommend that you set aside 2 hours for your initial visit, as sometimes we can run late. This can be very stressful if you have back to back appointments, or have parked your car in metered street parking.
Your consultation with Dr Nettle will go for approximately 45 minutes where he will discuss with you your concerns and what procedures may be suitable for you. Some patients can get nervous and forget to ask important questions, we recommend having a list of your important questions with you to help you maximise your consultation time. After this you will see our Cosmetic Surgery Consultant who will put together a quotation for you and information regarding available surgery dates and the hospitals that Dr Nettle operates from.
