Questions patients ask

Before you book.

Can I book online?

Yes. Appointments with Dr Arshad at The Highfield Hospital can be booked online through Circle Health Group. If you are using private medical insurance, check first whether your insurer needs a GP referral and an authorisation number.

Where is The Highfield Hospital?

The Highfield Hospital is on Manchester Road, Rochdale, OL11 4LZ — about 10 miles north of Manchester city centre and close to the M62, so it is straightforward to reach from across Greater Manchester and the North West.

Do I need a GP referral?

Not always. Many insurers ask for a GP or specialist referral before they authorise a consultation, so please check with your insurer first. If you are self-funding, you can usually enquire directly and the team will advise.

Can I ask for a second opinion?

Yes. Bring any previous scans, reports and treatment details, and Dr Arshad can review the diagnosis and explain the options available to you.

What should I bring to my appointment?

Previous X-rays or scans, nerve test results, letters from other clinicians, a list of your medicines and details of any treatment you have already tried.
