How Nick Took Control of His Health by Choosing to Be Seen Sooner
For busy barrister and father of two Nick, time was precious and so was his health.
He had been coping with uncomfortable haemorrhoids for months, but it was the regular bleeding that worried him most. It was alarming for him and upsetting for his wife, and it was becoming harder to ignore.
When he looked into the NHS pathway he was told the wait could be as long as two years.
With a demanding job and family commitments he felt he needed a quicker and more certain route to care.
Finding a Better Way Forward
A friend suggested he take a look at Get Well Soon. Nick visited the website out of curiosity and quickly realised he could browse specialists near him, check hospitals in South Birmingham and request an appointment that worked around his diary. The process was quick and straightforward which gave him confidence to take the next step.
“Five minutes was all it took to get the ball rolling for treatment that has had a significantly positive impact on my life,” he says.
Fast Access and Real Reassurance
Nick was matched with a specialist surgeon at a Midlands hospital and booked his consultation without delay.
From first contact to diagnosis to treatment was only a matter of weeks rather than months or years.
He describes the experience:
“From that first contact to a consultation with the surgeon and then the treatment itself was just a matter of weeks. It quickly removed a source of worry for me and concern for my wife. I have not looked back.”
For Nick, having control over timings was one of the most valuable parts of the process.
“Like many time poor professionals the ability to dictate when you have a treatment like this done is extremely valuable. Being able to adjust appointments to suit my diary rather than the other way round is worth a lot to me.”
Within a short time he was back to living normally and no longer dealing with the worry that had been building for months.
Why More People Are Exploring Private Options
Founder and CEO of Get Well Soon and Consultant Surgeon Mr Simon Radley explains the shift:
“People want choice with their health just as they do in every other aspect of their lives and our platform is a gateway for people to find the surgery they need in just a few clicks and a matter of minutes.”
