Contact the practice by phone or via the form below. Simone, Mr. Blackburn's Practice Manager, will speak with you personally and arrange a consultation at the clinic that is best suited to you — whether that is Kingston, Guildford, East Grinstead or Benenden.
Mr. Blackburn will take a full history, carry out an examination and explain in honest, clear terms what is achievable. A key aim of this appointment is to ensure that expectations can be met. You will have the opportunity to view a comprehensive gallery of before-and-after photographs from patients who have undergone similar procedures to the one being discussed.
After your appointment you will receive a personalised letter summarising what was discussed. Mr. Blackburn will also send a comprehensive consent document by email — a Concentric consent form that sets out the benefits of the proposed procedure alongside the potential risks, so you can read through everything carefully in your own time.
Concentric consent — clear, comprehensive and delivered digitally
There is a mandatory cooling-off period of at least two weeks before any further steps are taken. This time is yours — to reflect, research and decide entirely at your own pace, without any pressure.
If you would like to proceed, Simone will arrange a second appointment with Mr. Blackburn at no charge. This is an opportunity to ask any further questions and confirm that what you are hoping for and what Mr. Blackburn can deliver are a good match.
When you are ready, Simone will book your procedure. A deposit is required at the time of booking, and the full balance is due two weeks before your surgery date.
Mr. Blackburn's focus is straightforward: to get you healed and healthy. All follow-up appointments after your surgery are provided free of charge — including in the rare event of a minor complication. There are no unexpected fees at any stage of your aftercare.
