Self pay patients

We encourage people with self-pay packages and many patients will get free consultations if a package treatment is chosen. *(Not applicable on procedures which include a hospital based investigation)

Self-pay packages also reduce the hassle of calling up insurance companies for pre-approval for consultation and paying excess or extra top up charges when the insurance companies refuse to pay the full fee of the doctor.

Sometimes these scans can be done at your local optician’s facility and the scans can be forwarded to Mr Saeed for interpretation. Please ask if this is possible as it may be more convenient for you.
