Your first appointment
Your first appointment usually lasts around 30 minutes. Mr Hakimi will ask about your symptoms, examine the joint and review any scans, and may arrange an X-ray on the day.
Referrals
If you’re paying for yourself, you can book directly without seeing your GP first.
Your GP can write to Mr Hakimi. A referral letter helps if you’re using insurance.
Contact your insurer first for a pre-authorisation code, then book your appointment.
Request an appointment
Appointments at the Alexandra, Spire Manchester, Highfield and Oaklands hospitals, or by video. Self-pay and insured patients welcome.
