1. Do I need to see my GP?
Mr Gateley would usually advise you to see your GP in the
first instance to discuss the treatment you are considering.
Your GP may be able to offer help in the decision making process
and will almost certainly be able to advise about selecting
a qualified surgeon. 
2. Is it possible to speak to existing / previous patients?
Yes, this can be arranged.
3. Are you regulated by anybody?
Mr Gateley is a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons and
as such he abides by the rules of the following regulatory
bodies: The Royal College of Surgeons, The General Medical
Council (GMC), the British Medical Association (BMA), the
British Association of Plastic Surgeons (BAPS) and the British
Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. In addition, in
April 2002 the government introduced the National Care Standards
which Mr Gateley also adheres to.
4. Do you turn people away?
Yes. It is every professional surgeon's duty to provide advice
that is in the best interests of the patient - even where
this advice may be unwelcome. There may be any number of physical
or psychological factors that mean plastic surgery is unsuitable
for you at this time.
5. Why do you charge for a consultation?
It is important that you receive impartial advice about possible
treatments and procedures. By charging for an initial consultation,
you can be reassured that the advice you receive is not swayed
by any financial pressures, but is simply the advice that
is, in the opinion of Mr Gateley, right for you and your specific
circumstances.
