The Westminster Bridge Consulting Rooms are situated on the ground floor of Gassiot House, St. Thomas' Hospital, London SE1 7EH. Gassiot House is sited at the corner of Westminster Bridge Road and Lambeth Palace Road on the North side of Lambeth Palace Road. There is a public car park at St. Thomas' Hospital under and adjacent to Gassiot House, but as spaces in central London are limited, and as you may experience some temporary blurring of vision following your eye examination it is advisable to use public transport or taxi. Waterloo and Westminster underground stations are within a five-minute walk as well as local bus services. The Consulting Rooms have wheel chair access and are staffed by a team of highly trained and dedicated nurses

All consultations are by appointment and can be arranged by calling Mr. O'Brart's office during working hours 9.30am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, on 01702 586656. Mr. O'Brart's consulting times at the Westminster Bridge Consulting Rooms are from 1.00pm to 5.00pm on Mondays, from 2.00pm to 5.30pm on Thursdays and 3.00pm to 5.30pm on Fridays.

It is normally necessary (but not essential) for UK patients to be referred by a general practitioner, as your GP's referral letter will usually contain useful information about your health and many Health Insurance companies will only honour claims if the initial referral is made by a GP.

When attending your first consultation please bring your most recently prescribed glasses, any medication you may be taking, your General Practitioner's name and address and, if appropriate, your health insurance company details.

At this consultation your past medical history will be recorded and a thorough eye examination will be performed. The examination is painless, so there is nothing to worry about, but it may be lengthy, as it may be necessary to dilate your pupils. You should expect to spend up to an hour at the clinic. Every effort is made to see you as close to your scheduled appointment, however, emergencies do occur and consultations sometimes take longer than expected.

Following your consultation, your ocular condition will be discussed with you, as well as the approach to treatment and the results you could expect to achieve.
