Our pricing
Medical insurance
We are affiliated with all major health insurance providers. In many cases, we can arrange pre-approval and book your surgery at your first visit. In most cases, we can arrange payment directly from your insurance company.
No medical insurance
Many patients do not have medical insurance and we will do whatever we can to provide you with flexible payment options to suit your budget. We offer a range of payment options to suit everyone and if you wish you can pay for your surgery in instalments over 12 months.
Travelling to Hamilton?
For patients travelling from outside the Waikato region, we can often arrange assessment and surgery on the same day if required. If you would like to stay overnight in Hamilton we can arrange a follow-up visit the next morning before you return home.
Payment options
Payment plans can be arranged to pay for your surgery over time if required. These plans are provided on enquiry only so please contact us prior to your appointment if you would like to arrange this.
