Consultations for hair loss and scalp problems
Most people come to me because their hair is thinning, shedding or falling out in patches, or because their scalp is itchy, flaky or sore. There are two ways to see me.

What patients say
Questions about my services
If yours isn’t here, send me a message and I’ll get back to you.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book directly with me. If further tests are needed, I’ll liaise with your GP to arrange them, or you can have them done privately.
Should I choose a clinic or a video consultation?
If you can get to Forest Row, I recommend the clinic: an in-person consultation lets me examine your hair and scalp directly, which is the most reliable way to reach a diagnosis. Video consultations are for patients who live too far away to travel.
How long does a consultation take?
About an hour. Nothing is rushed, and there’s time for your questions.
What should I bring?
A list of any medication or supplements you take, and any recent blood test results if you have them. Please come with your hair as you normally wear it.
How much does a consultation cost?
It depends on the type of appointment. Send me a message and I’ll explain the fees before you book.
Do you help with scalp conditions as well as hair loss?
Yes. Alongside hair loss, I see people with dandruff, seborrhoeic dermatitis, scalp psoriasis, folliculitis and itchy or sore scalps.
