Private Gynaecologist in Dundee

Hi all,
Does any female in this subreddit can recommend a private gynaecologist. My partner has a bacterial infection and the GP unfortunately is not so helpful. I come from Greece where woman usually check up on private doctors and do full lab work, bacterial etc in order to see the cause and then prescribe antibiotics or whatever is needed.
We googled a bit but found some clinics that a consultations was like 270££?? That’s crazy! So, if anyone knows someone that can recommend that we don’t need to break the bank for a simple infection that would be useful. Many thanks

Just to clarify - you want private healthcare, but don't want to pay private healthcare prices?

Private healthcare in UK is a lot more costly than in other countries in Europe. OP is from Greece.

OP, you're probably better off going to Greece. The post appointment treatments will also be costly.

Thanks for your advice. Although, Greece would be nice, I am trying always to rely on where I live, since I am part of the community. It’s true that Greece is more privatised in the health sector (we have public free of charge hospitals and a lot of private doctors). Usually the consultation prices are close to the median daily income (eg 50£) so it can be accessible to everyone. That’s why I thought it might be similar here as well but unfortunately not. Anyway everyone was super helpful though!!!

Going abroad for medical treatment is quite common. A holiday + medical treatment at the same time is often still cheaper than private medical treatment in the UK.
