One stop early pregnancy / gynaecology clinic

One stop clinics are modern concept in Gynaecology. We all want to get answers to our medical issues as soon as possible. Mr Vathanan runs a unique one stop gynaecology clinic. He consults, examines, and performs ultrasound scanning at the same visit. Further investigations can be performed at the same time if needed. This helps to arrive at the diagnosis on the same day and a management plan can be instituted straight away without any further delay for scanning. Early diagnosis improves outcome.

Mr Vathanan understands your time is precious and aims to complete all investigations at the same visit, whenever possible, thus avoiding you having to make another visit for investigations. Mr Vathanan has developed this unique one stop clinics for early pregnancy, well women screening, fertility screening, cancer screening, menopausal health screening and for any other gynaecology concerns.

He understands the need to spend enough time with his patients to explain the condition in detail. Therefore, he aims to spend 30 minutes for new appointments including ultrasound scan. This personalised, holistic approach helps his patents with best possible experience.
These clinics are run at Bridge Clinic, 156 Bridge Street, Maidenhead, SL6 8DG, helped by friendly nurses and staff in a homely environment.

Mr Vathanan also runs a one stop clinic service for gynaecology. This includes consultation, clinical examination, ultrasound scanning and any other tests if needed. This includes cervical smear, endometrial biopsy, removal of cervical polyps, pelvic infection screening, etc. This approach helps in early diagnosis and management of your condition. Even though it is a one stop service, some of the investigation results may take few days arrive from the laboratory. In that case, you may need a second appointment once results are available to discuss further management. This can be done via video or telephone consultation from the comfort from your home.

One stop clinic takes more time than traditional consultation clinics. You will also need ultrasound scan. Mr Vathanan spends 30 minutes for this appointment. Therefore, if you prefer one stop clinic service, please inform us in advance when you book, so that you will be given a longer appointment slot. It is also important to inform your insurance company, if you are insured and get authorisation for ultrasound scan, so that it can be done at the same time.

This is also a one stop service where ladies are seen for consultation along with any further screening or investigations.
