COMPLICATIONS

• Although rare, some procedures can result in a range of well-documented complications. Some patients may specifically be subject to a higher risk factor than others. We will, of course, treat these to the best of our ability as many of these complications can be managed simply and conservatively. If you are urgently required to see Dr Esho, Dr Mccloskey or any of the team, you may be asked to travel to one of our clinics to be examined in a medical setting. In the very unlikely event of a more serious complication and the need of further treatment outside of our expertise, arrangements will be made for you to be treated by the NHS or if you wish, privately at your own cost. Please note it is possible that any private medical insurance may not cover complications arising from cosmetic work.

The booking co-ordinators will endeavour to offer you a similar appointment for the soonest date available. Please note that refunds will not be given for any expenses you may incur such as train tickets, flight or hotel bookings.
• All of our clinics can run behind schedule and for this reason, we request that you do not make any plans within 4 hours of your appointment time. Each doctor will take the amount of time necessary to provide comprehensive care and attention to every single patient. The ESHO.MD Clinic staff will try their best to avoid large delays, however, this cannot always be avoided and we cannot guarantee that each patient will be seen on time. Many of our practitioners often treat a variety of complicated or emergency cases which can result in a delay in clinic. If the clinic is running late, you will not be entitled to a refund or transfer of your deposit. Please contact the booking co-ordinators at your earliest convenience to reschedule your appointment if you envisage this being a problem for you.
• Treatment deposits can be transferred to another ESHO.MD Clinic location. Treatment deposits can also be used for a different treatment offered at the ESHO.MD Clinic. If either of these amendments are required by the patient, a minimum of 7-days’ notice from the appointment date is needed.
