Why private surgery?

Whilst NHS surgery and clinic discussion is often performed in all or part by an experienced and supervised resident surgeon or fellow, private surgery and clinic appointments are with Mr Lamb only. You have flexibility when choosing a date of surgery and can specify implants, such as customised implants, if you so wish. In addition waiting times can be as little as a few weeks where appropriate.
