For all NHS patients

Please request your GP or your local cardiologist to refer you on. Please note that Dr Gupta is not accessible through the ‘Choose and Book’ system.

An up to date idea of Dr Gupta’s outpatient and in-patient NHS waiting times can be found here. As a rough guide in Mar 2013 there is a 8-10 week wait for an out-patient consultation followed by a 10-16 week wait for in-patient procedures.

For Medically Insured/ Self-paying patients

You can contact Ms Sharon Ngai directly for a private appointment although most medical insurance companies would require a formal referral from your GP to cover any in-hospital treatment. Dr Gupta is an accredited health care provider for all major health insurance companies like BUPA, AXA, AVIVA, Pruhealth, WPA etc.

Dr Gupta sees private patients at the Maple Suite Consultation Rooms at Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital.

Dr Gupta sees private patients on Saturday mornings at the Spire Murrayfield Hospital on the Wirral.

Dr Gupta is also available for consultation at the Spire Cheshire Hospital in Warrington.

Dr Gupta’s charges for an initial consultation are £195.

NHS or Private?

The treatment and the catheter laboratories used are the same for both NHS and private patients, and all patients can expect  a similar result from their procedure.

The main difference between the NHS and private routes of treatment is in the waiting times, with private treatment being possible a few months earlier than on the NHS. Besides, private patients get individual rooms with en-suite facilities for in-patient stay rather than a ward bed. Also please note that as one of Dr Gupta’s responsibilities is to train junior medical staff, procedures on NHS patients are carried out jointly by Dr Gupta and the trainee doctor(s) while those done privately are performed wholly by Dr Gupta.
