Dr Skinner will only see you if your GP refers you to him.

If your GP will refer you then he/she should fax the referral to:

0121 449 8895

(postal address: Louise Lorne Clinic, 22 Alcester Rd, Moseley, Birmingham, B13 8BE)

good luck x

Yes he is a private doctor. Not sure what his initial consultation fee is but sure someone will be along who knows soon. x

Hi, is initial consult fee is I think £240, was there with my daughter 6 weeks ago. Possibly it may have only been £220, but it was one or the other. Brain asleep but fingers typing, sorry. x

maybe £220??

as last August his initial consultation fee was still £180......so a 'hike' of £60 sounds a bit much but I may be wrong.....

rbhakhri, best to call (on number above) and ask :)

Hi, his price in November was definitely either £220 or £240 as I took her and paid, but as she has the invoice I can't check. She has a follow up in two weeks and I think that is £110, so probably it was £220.

Just confirmed with my daughter that the cost was £220 and follow up, £110. x

Yes £220 and this is the first increase since 2003.

Not the GMC, just the cost of overheads have risen greatly since 2003!
