Once you have received a thyroid report, you can take part in a survey. The link is in the report. You can also provide us with a testimonial.
We also have a newsletter to which you can subscribe – and unsubscribe if you don’t want to receive it any longer.
Please be aware, that we cannot comment on thyroid blood results over the phone or via email. You would need to order the correct thyroid report for this.
We recommend tests or investigations either in our reports or consultations which we feel helpful in your specific situation. Consent can be verbal, by action (i.e. showing your arm to take a blood sample, ordering a test) or in writing.
If you want to have a copy of our Patient information about Consent please contact us.
We are happy to write to your NHS GP and ask whether they would kindly refer you within the NHS. As you are aware, NHS referrals often have longer waiting times than private referrals.
If we refer you privately we charge you a referral fee and you would need to pay the consultant either yourself or via a private health insurance policy. You should always contact your private insurance before the referral to make sure they cover the cost.
You can certainly ask your NHS GP whether they are willing and able to offer you recommended tests. Also you can request previous blood results from your NHS GP so that we don’t have to “double-up” and avoid unnecessary blood testing.
If your NHS GP cannot provide you with the tests you can order recommended tests via our website.
We work closely with a variety of laboratories to provide our registered clients with blood tests – some of which are not readily available for your NHS GP.
We co-operate with Medichecks. They offer finger-prick home testing kits for a variety of blood tests, and also a nursing service to take a venous blood sample at your home for an additional fee. You can find out about the Medichecks tests HERE.
Some tests advertised elsewhere can be pricey and might not be really helpful in your situation. Before you spend some money, please CONTACT US.
As many of the medication [like NDT] we prescribe are not readily available in local chemists we send the prescriptions directly to one of our partner chemists. We inform you where the prescription has been sent and you simply call them, pay for the tablets and delivery and the medication will be in your letterbox in a couple of days.
We can only prescribe medication related to thyroid health. You can order a private prescription via our website.
We can only prescribe medication related to an underactive thyroid condition for patients registered with our practice with a recent thyroid report compiled by our doctor based on recent blood results.
You can certainly consult us if you want a second opinion about your thyroid care. Often we see patients who have been investigated by their NHS GP and specialists and who want to find out whether there are additional ways to help with their conditions.
We offer a service that complements the services of your NHS GP. You need to remain registered with your NHS GP practice. You should also keep your NHS GP informed about any treatment changes, e.g. by sharing your reports with them.
Unfortunately private health insurance companies usually don’t cover private GP consultations. As we offer services beyond a private GP it might be worth asking whether your insurance is prepared to contribute to your cost.
We offer a pure telemedicine practice and can therefore not provide you with a home visit. Often problems can be solved with a telephone consultation.
If you feel acutely unwell, please contact your NHS practice, or call 111 or 999 – depending on the urgency.
We do NOT offer out of hours or emergency services. If you need a doctor urgently, please contact your NHS GP practice.
In an emergency always dial 999, and if it is less urgent 111.
We do not offer vaccinations or immunisations. Please contact your NHS practice for these or private providers.
We offer a FREE pre-registration call for interested clients with Dr Frey where they can discuss their current health problems and find out whether we might be able to assist them. Calls can be booked via our online booking system or by contacting our patient coordinator.
All new patients need to register with the practice and complete an online registration form.
We charge a registration fee to cover our administrative cost.
Once registered, patients have access to all our services.
You can find out more on our dedicated registration page.
You can find our Practice leaflet HERE or on our website under “HOME” -> “Terms and Conditions”.

We are proud to cooperate with several providers of services, some of which offer a small incentive to their practitioners for referrals, e.g. Medichecks, ImuPro, Lamberts Healthcare, Lifecode Gx, Nordic VMS and Nutri. We have taken these into account when compiling our pricing structure to keep our prices low. We will not recommend any treatments or investigations unless we strongly feel that these would be of the benefit of our clients.
