What can you expect from a private urology clinic appointment?

Understanding what will happen at your appointment helps reduce anxiety and ensures you get the most out of your time with Mr Dukic.

Your initial consultation (30 minutes)

Your appointment begins with a detailed review of your symptoms, medical history and any results you have already had. Mr Dukic will listen carefully, ask focused questions, and carry out a clinical examination where appropriate.

At the end of your consultation, you will leave with:

- A clear working diagnosis or differential, explained in plain language

- A personalised plan — whether that is further investigations, a treatment pathway, or reassurance

- Written correspondence (digitally) sent to your GP within 24-48 hours

- Direct access to Mr Dukic's secretary for any questions between appointments

Investigations on the same day or at short notice

Where clinically indicated, Mr Dukic can arrange or perform investigations rapidly:

- Urine analysis and culture

- Flow rate studies and bladder ultrasound

- Flexible cystoscopy (a camera examination of the bladder, usually performed under local anaesthetic)

- CT KUB, CT urogram, MRI and ultrasound at the treating hospital — often available at short notice

Follow-up and surgery

Follow-up consultations are up to 20 minutes and cost up to £200. If surgery is recommended, Mr Dukic will explain the procedure, likely outcomes and full costs in advance, and arrange listing at the most suitable hospital for your procedure.

With your consent, the audio from our appointments is converted to text and summarised using the latest artificial intelligence transcription technology, Heidi Health. Your consultant then immediately checks the transcription and it is sent to the secretarial team. This means you and your General Practitioner should be able to receive a copy of your electronic consultation notes on the same day as your appointment.

Why Choose Private Urology Care in Birmingham?

Many patients come to Mr Dukic's clinic after months on an NHS waiting list, or because they want specialist reassurance without delay. Private urology care offers:

- Speed: New patient appointments are typically within 7 days, compared to NHS outpatient waits that can often exceed 18 weeks.

- Continuity: You see the same consultant at every appointment. There are no handovers to different registrars or junior members of the team.

- Time: A 30-minute initial consultation allows a thorough discussion. NHS appointments are often 10 minutes or less.

- Technology: Rapid access to CT, MRI, ultrasound and endoscopic facilities at leading private hospitals.

- Choice: Four clinic locations across Birmingham, Solihull and Worcestershire — usually morning or afternoon clinics. We work in partnership with specialists at Birmingham Urology Centre to offer evening clinics too, with a different partner urologist.

- Insurance: If you hold valid private medical insurance with BUPA, AXA PPP, Aviva, Vitality, WPA, Cigna, AIG or Aetna, you typically pay nothing beyond your excess. Mr Dukic is fully fee-assured with all of these providers.

If you are already on an NHS waiting list for a urological procedure, it is worth knowing that you can often have your operation done privately while remaining on the NHS list if you choose.

FAQ SECTION

Do I need a GP referral to see a private urologist in Birmingham?

No. You can self-refer directly by calling 0121 716 9046 or booking online. While a GP referral is welcome (and useful if you have existing test results), it is not required for a private consultation with Mr Dukic.

How much does a private urology consultation cost in Birmingham?

An initial consultation with Mr Dukic costs £300 for a 30-minute appointment. Follow-up appointments cost up to £200. If you hold private medical insurance with BUPA, AXA PPP, Aviva, Vitality, WPA, Cigna, AIG or Aetna, Mr Dukic is fully fee-assured — meaning you pay nothing beyond your standard policy excess.

Mr Dukic aims to see all new patients within 7 days. Appointments are available Monday, Thursday and other days across our four clinic sites. Call 0121 716 9046 to confirm the next available slot.

Which hospitals does Mr Dukic work at in Birmingham?

Mr Dukic holds private outpatient clinics at The Harborne Hospital (HCA Healthcare, Birmingham), The Priory Hospital (Circle Health, Edgbaston), Spire Parkway Hospital (Solihull) and The Droitwich Spa Hospital (Circle Health, Worcestershire).

Is Mr Dukic fee-assured with my health insurance?

Mr Dukic is fully fee-assured with BUPA, AXA PPP, Aviva, Vitality, WPA, Cigna, AIG and Aetna. This means his fees are agreed with your insurer in advance and you will not be asked to pay the difference between his fee and what your insurer covers. Contact your insurer to obtain a pre-authorisation number before booking.

Can I see a private urologist in Solihull or Worcestershire?

Yes. Mr Dukic holds private clinics at Spire Parkway Hospital in Solihull and The Droitwich Spa Hospital in Worcestershire, in addition to his Birmingham sites. This makes him accessible to patients across the West Midlands and Worcestershire without needing to travel into central Birmingham.

What conditions does a private urologist treat?

A private urologist can assess and treat conditions affecting the kidneys, bladder, ureters, urethra and male reproductive system. Mr Dukic specialises in kidney stone surgery, blood in the urine, urinary tract infections, prostate symptoms, PSA testing, and bladder and testicular conditions. He also provides second opinions and accepts complex national referrals for kidney stone disease.

What is the difference between private and NHS urology care?

The clinical outcome of treatment is the same — Mr Dukic performs the same procedures and follows the same evidence-based guidelines privately as he does on the NHS. The differences are speed of access (private patients are typically seen within 7 days versus months on an NHS waiting list), appointment length (30 minutes versus a standard 15-20-minute NHS slot), continuity (you see the same consultant throughout), and the choice of hospital and appointment time.

Can I stay on the NHS waiting list while having private treatment?

Yes. Choosing to have a consultation or procedure privately does not remove you from any NHS waiting list you may already be on. Many patients choose to have their private assessment or operation and subsequently cancel their NHS appointment if they no longer need it.
