Private fees
Mr Rupert Clifton is recognised by all major insurance companies and his fees are in line with the BUPA guide-price.
Gap Payments
Mr Clifton does not usually charge a gap payment. Remuneration from insurers was frozen in the early 1990s so some surgeons charge an additional fee to cover the reduction in income caused by nearly 20 years of inflation, this additional fee is known as a 'gap payment'.
With the recent restrictions in the NHS many people now act to ensure they will see a consultant who specialises in their problem, so Mr Clifton also welcomes those not covered by insurance. Coming to see Mr Clifton will give you a speedy diagnosis and full explanation by a specialist, but we feel it only fair to stress that being seen privately gives no priority into the NHS system.

TESTIMONIALS
Mr Clifton is always professional and willing to go the extra mile for patients and colleagues.
Written by a patient
I would like to express my gratitude and thanks to Mr Clifton in particular but also to his whole team for the excellent treatment and aftercare service received following my total knee replacement. It has made a very positive improvement to my mobility. Long may you continue with your first class work.
Written by a patient
Mr Clifton has completed both TKR on me. With out any problems he has a confidence that shines in his work, I can say this as I was awake during both my procedures. He obviously has so much experience and enjoys using his abilities to promote the health of others. I personally had so much confidence in his highly qualified ability and was at ease during my operations. Great sense of humour too, which helped to relax me a lot. Thank you Mr Clifton.

An excellant service, I was always kept well informed and made to feel safe and well, my new knee feels like it is my own but pain free with almost no signs of the operation scar. I would recommend Mr Clifton to anyone needing surgery and I would not hesitate to have any further surgery carried out by him but hopefully this will never be required.

Although it is now several weeks since my appointment with Mr Clifton I would like to say how good it was to be treated with respect and as a real person. My treatment was excellent and very successful, saving me a serious operation. I cannot praise Mr Clifton enough.
Written by a patient
Mr Clifton was very attentive at all times and explained the procedure of my operation in great detail and listened to my concerns and questions. He also made me feel at ease in his manner that gave me the confidence to ask questions. As a patient it is very important to feel looked after and Mr Clifton had an extremely warm but professional manner which made me feel that I was in good hands.
