Ear syringing (including free follow-up appointment within one week if necessary)

You may require our ear care consultation service if you are experiencing any of the following:

Ear pain 

• If you have pain in your ear, you should see a qualified clinician as soon as possible. Pain generally indicates an infection which may benefit from medication. It may also be caused by dental problems. Either way your ear should be checked by a competent clinician.
  

Deafness in one ear without pain

• This is often caused by the accumulation of wax in the ear canal, particularly if you have inadvertently pushed wax inwards using a finger or a cotton bud. The first step is to soften the wax by putting a few drops of olive oil into the ear while lying down on the opposite side. Wait 10 minutes and then put a small plug of cotton wool loosely in the ear hole opening. Repeat this for three days.

• If you are still having problems, come in and see us so that the ear canal can be inspected for wax, and - if present in significant amounts - we can use our "Pro-pulse" ear irrigator to remove the wax safely. If the wax has not been softened with olive oil for three days prior to your visit, you may be advised to do so and come back again after three days (at no extra charge).
  

Deafness without pain or wax

• If there is no wax or ear infection to account for hearing loss, we advise investigation of this initially with an audiogram screen (hearing test) which costs £100 (including the consultation). If deafness is confirmed, you will need referral to an ear specialist, which we can arrange for you.

An ear care consultation costs £100, which includes costs of infection treatment or ear irrigation (whichever, if any, is appropriate as discussed above). Follow up appointments within 1 week are free of charge; after one week follow up appointments are charged at £65.

Histofreeze consultation

Removing a wart/verruca is a problem you may be able to solve yourself over the course of a few months using duct tape (available from hardware stores) (more information and instructions). However, if you would like an accelerated resolution of the problem, Doctor Today offers a cryotherapy service (i.e. freezing the wart/verruca using liquid nitrogen or similar cryogen).

Note that it is important to be sure that what you have is indeed a wart or verruca caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and not a skin growth or cancer which may need surgical or other treatment. If you are in doubt, or if you have tried the duct tape remedy and the wart or verruca is not going away as it should, please book a consultation and we will be happy to review it and at the same time carry out a review of your moles and other skin blemishes which may need attention. If cryotherapy is indicated, but the wart/verruca is not in an area amenable to this treatment, other methods may be needed -- we will be happy to help you choose the right one.

In terms of costs, we typically charge £125 for the initial consultation; if necessary, subsequent sessions are £105.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions or wish to make an appointment. For information on how to get in touch see our contact us page.
