Appointments

Doctor Today offers both pre-booked and walk-in appointments with doctors during our opening hours. We strongly encourage pre-booked appointments since we cannot guarantee clinician availability at busy times.

Pre-booked appointments

Appointments for consultations or our other services (e.g. health screening or our travel clinic) may be pre-booked by telephone (020 7433 1444) or by email to enquiries@doctortoday.co.uk If you are not sure which services you will require, our friendly and helpful reception staff will be happy to discuss your needs.

Walk-in appointments

We are conveniently located on Finchley Rd in West Hampstead, near Finchley Road underground station (see how to find us). Walk-in patients are welcome and will be given an immediate appointment if a doctor or nurse is available. Please note, however, that due to increased demand we cannot guarantee this availability so to avoid disappointment we recommend calling our reception first to arrange a mutually convenient time. If a doctor or nurse is not immediately available, our aim is to provide an appointment within 24 hours.

Family members, friends and chaperones

Patients are welcome to attend with a family member or friend. At your specific request, they may sit in on the consultation. For females undergoing intimate examinations or tests by male clinicians, it is our policy that a female chaperone is always present, for your peace of mind as well as ours so that probity is assured. This chaperone may be one of the female reception staff when a nurse is not available; alternatively you may bring along a family member or friend yourself. If this is unacceptable to you, please ask to see a same-sex or female clinician when booking.

Children

Please note that children under 16 years of age will not be seen unless accompanied by a parent or other person with parental responsibility. However, with consent of both parties, a child under 16 may be seen privately for non-intimate examinations by a same-sex or female clinician.
