Flexible disposable endoscopes - time saver in laser tonsillectomy under local anaesthetic spray.

I'm finding these really useful in Zoom consultations for tonsil problems. It allows me to assess whether it is worth the patient making the trip to London for a local anaesthetic spray laser tonsillectomy or whether we need to book a hospital for a general anaesthetic procedure. Saves a lot of time.

Yes we just put them in the list to you, no charge. They are disposable bore scopes but perfectly safe as usb powered. Similar in size to a normal nasoenedoscope. For an appointment just call HealthHub on 02078709166. Mike Dilkes

I found it incredibly useful on my recent consultation with you, it saved me an 8 hour trip to have a consultation, I am now booked in for my procedure which I know will definitely be happening on the day because you have already seen my throat thanks to this handy instrument

Hi Mike, could I please arrange a zoom apt as I have a consultation booked in a few weeks and would rather save (or not) the travelling required? (Nabila Jones)
