How to book

If you have private medical insurance and want to choose Horder Healthcare for your treatment, you can ask your GP to refer you, if appropriate, explaining that you will be going through your insurance provider. You will need to confirm that you have the appropriate cover for the treatment you require with your insurance provider at each stage of treatment including the initial outpatient appointment.

The insurance provider will provide you with an authorisation number for treatment (unfortunately treatment will not be able to take place without this).

Please do not hesitate to call us on 01892 620934 or email pp@horder.co.uk for further information.

Patient Testimonials

  • Robert Harber

    Knee Replacement (total) | The Horder Centre

    “Mr Butler-Manuel was the first consultant I saw who had any time for me and who listened to me. I think what is different about The Horder Centre is the team spirit. Having had countless operations, the Horder Centre is, in my opinion, streets above all the private hospitals I have been in. Nothing was too much trouble. After a couple of weeks I felt my knee wasn’t bending properly and within an hour, I was seeing a doctor then a specialist then a physiotherapist.”

  • Michael Smith

    Physiotherapy | The Horder Centre

    “I decided to fight to get back to my sport. My wife, a chiropractor, knew of the Horder Centre’s reputation so I decided to have physio there. I have to say that without the input of the physiotherapists, first Sam, then Annemarie, at The Horder, I don’t think I’d have got the 95% movement back in my arm. It helps if you’ve got a fighting mentality, and you’re not going to accept the injury, but the work they did was essential. It was quite radical physio and there were many sessions but it worked and I am forever in their debt.”

  • Michael Welcome

    Knee Replacement (total) | The Horder Centre

    “I couldn’t fault The Horder Centre. The care was excellent. When I had an operation in an NHS hospital 15 years ago, I was in a ward with around eight other people and didn’t sleep but I had my own room at The Horder. I was made to feel at home and everyone made me feel at ease."

  • Antony Michell

    Modified Pilates

    “A definite improvement resulted and in March this year I joined the special knee and hip Pilates class at the Tunbridge Wells clinic which I still attend weekly. From being almost unable to get upstairs 18 months ago, I am back playing tennis and some squash. Horder Healthcare Tunbridge Wells clinic is ideal for me with most kindly staff and excellent, efficient instructors.”
