The advantages of going private
No waiting time
Consultations are available on Monday afternoons at The Alexandra Hospital, with the option of telephone consultations at other times upon request. All diagnostic tests and treatments can be arranged as necessary. Going private can alleviate the strain on the NHS. Patients can transfer their care to the NHS following their initial consultation. They will be added to the waiting list at the same point as if they had attended an NHS clinic, which is particularly helpful for self-funding patients.
Personal care
We understand that you have options, and we always keep in mind that you are a valued paying customer. Our consultations are thorough, and we will take the time to discuss everything in detail, creating a clear diagnostic and treatment plan tailored to your needs. We encourage you to ask any questions, no matter how big or small. Dr Ruzicka conducts all consultations and most diagnostic tests. Some non-invasive tests are performed by our experienced team of physiologists.
State of the art
Dr Ruzicka's clinic is located in the Alexandra Hospital, a leading private hospital serving Manchester, Cheshire, Lancashire and surrounding areas. Modern reception and outpatient areas provide a welcoming and comfortable environment. The cardiology department is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities including a new hybrid cardiac theatre and a comprehensive range of imaging and monitoring equipment. All precautions are taken to ensure the safety of patients and staff. For convenience and accessibility, remote consultations are also available.
Fair pricing
Dr Ruzicka is a fee-assured consultant who has agreements with all major UK private medical insurance companies. However, please be aware that while the insurance company will be invoiced on your behalf, the ultimate responsibility for payment lies with you. Therefore, if the insurance company does not cover the full amount, you will be responsible for any shortfall. For self-funding patients, the cost of a new consultation with an ECG is £240, and a follow-up consultation is £120. Payment is required in the clinic. Cash or all major cards, including Amex, are accepted.
