Coil and implant care in London

We fit and remove contraceptive coils and implants, and we give contraception advice matched to your circumstances. You do not need a GP referral, and the fee for each appointment is published below.

Every fitting starts with a short consultation — 15 minutes, in person or over the telephone — so that the options, the procedure and the possible side effects have been discussed before the day.

Before and during a fitting

The consultation comes first. It is a 15-minute appointment with the doctor, and it can be done in person or over the telephone. Several coil types are available, and this is where the choice between them is made — along with the fitting procedure itself, the possible complications and the side effects.

The fitting is then booked as a 30-minute appointment. That is longer than the procedure needs, deliberately, so there is time to settle rather than to rush. Local anaesthetic is given for your comfort.

A coil fitting can be uncomfortable and some people find it painful. A local anaesthetic can help — talk it through with the clinician at the consultation before you decide.

Removals

A coil removal is a short appointment, usually finished within 15 minutes. Contraception advice is included if you want to talk about what comes next.

An implant removal takes about 30 minutes and is carried out under local anaesthetic. If the implant has moved from where it was placed the removal can be more involved; the clinician will explain what that means before anything is done.

Our reviews — What our patients say

Every word below is a patient’s own, published on our Google listing.

Brilliant service from booking appt to having the scan and report. The sonographer was extremely knowledgable and had a great bedside manner. I went on 29/12 and I didn't catch the name of the lady but I have to say she answered all my questions thoroughly and honestly.
Reshma Datta
Dr Bhagat was exceptionally thorough and reassuring. He explained the X-ray and ultrasound results clearly, ruling out any serious concerns and recommending the best next steps. His calm and caring approach put us at ease throughout. Highly recommended.
Krish Nair
Went for some diagnostic tests and was seen within hours of contact with Jose. The tests were completed quickly, with everything fully explained and a report provided within 24 hours. Extremely efficient and friendly service. Special thanks to Jose.
Matt T
Superb service. I had an US for my soft tissue, very welcoming staff. The sonographer was thorough, friendly and accurate. I would chose this place again and highly recommended if you could choose to have your In-Health scans.
