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 bookings.team@horder.co.uk for further information.

Patient Testimonials

  • 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."

  • Kevin Battell

    The Horder Centre

    "I will slowly build up to the point where I can do 5km and 10km and I would really like to do a triathlon. Whether I have another marathon in me, I’ll just have to see.

    The Horder Centre was brilliant. People were very friendly and the food was really nice. I was lucky too as I have friends who work there so a lot of faces were familiar.”

  • Dr Joy Virden

    Hip Replacement (total) | The Horder Centre

    “I opted to go private because I wanted to be able to choose exactly when I could have my operation and avoid waiting lists. I was hugely impressed with The Horder Centre.

    I think what made it different is the fact that it specialises in orthopaedic surgery, and that level of specialism meant that everyone was very knowledgeable. The preparation beforehand gave me confidence, and the aftercare was excellent. I had physiotherapy three times a day.”

  • Peter Fermer

    Ophthalmology | The McIndoe Centre

    “All I can say is why did I wait so long! The McIndoe Centre was fantastic! The staff and nurses were excellent, as was the food and my room. From the moment I arrived I was looked after by a team of friendly efficient staff and I always knew what was going on and why.

    Six weeks after the operation, the vision in my eye is already better than it was before the operation and should hopefully improve significantly over the next few months.”
