Hi, my dad has suspected Parkinsons and is on a never ending wait list with a neurologist. I wondered if there were any private places we could go to (dependant on price). I am worried as he seems so tired mentally a lot of the time and zones out a lot I would to make sure its nothing else too. Thank you.
Hello Beth1 … Seeing a neurologist privately would be quite quick & cost in
the region of £200 as a guess. If you see one & like him or her you might ask whether your Dad could be seen as an NHS patient in future.
I use the Benenden Hospital in Kent. Bupa hospitals as well are good.
Always a good idea to see their reviews & to see a neurologist who specialises in Parkinson’s.
Best of luck.

The neurologists at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queens Square, London will see people privately if you are able to travel to London. Initial consultations are generally now around £250 - inflation!! Happy to let you have more information if London is a possibility for you.
