Our Referral Services

All consultations and procedures at Gainsborough Referrals are performed by a Diplomate of the European College or an experienced residency-trained clinician. We offer expert advice, advanced diagnostic imaging and a complete range of medical and surgical procedures in the fields of orthopaedics, neurology and soft tissue surgery.

All of our team look after our patients as if they are our own and we provide a complete service that includes any and all aftercare required.

Our specialist orthopaedics and soft-tissue service is led by our very experienced founder, Jean-Benoit Lefebvre DipECVS. We offer fixed prices for common procedures, such as TPLO, hip replacement and spinal surgery.

Neurology

Our neurology referral service is run by European Diplomate, John Parker. We accept both medical and surgical cases and we welcome emergency requests because speed of care is often critical to survival for neurological patients.
