Private Oculoplastic (Eyelid) Surgery
in Harrogate
Should Harrogate patients wait on the NHS or go private for Oculoplastic Surgery?
NHS waiting times across West Yorkshire currently run to long, and often not funded for functional-borderline or cosmetic cases. Private oculoplastic surgery with Mr Mohyudin is typically arranged within 2–4 weeks of consultation, from £500, with no GP referral for self-pay. Stay on the NHS if you are coping and do not need extras the list does not fund.
