Where are Avin Patel's clinics?

Avin runs regular clinics in Oakham (6 Church Street, Oakham, LE15 6AA), Scraptoft (11 Long Close, Scraptoft, LE7 9XS) and Wigston (The Two Steeples Medical Centre, Wigston, LE18 2EW). He sees patients from across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, and offers emergency home visits.

How do I book an appointment with Avin Patel?

You can book online through the Appointments page on this website, or call or WhatsApp Avin on 07739 828 664. Not every appointment slot is released online, so if you cannot see a time that suits you, it is worth getting in touch directly. You will receive a confirmation email after booking and a reminder two days before.

What is your cancellation policy?

Please give at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or move your appointment, so the slot can be offered to another patient. Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice, and missed appointments, are charged at the full cost of the appointment. We understand that cancellations sometimes can't be helped because of illness or an emergency, and we will take genuine circumstances into account.

How can I pay for my appointment?

You can pay by card, cash or bank transfer at the end of your appointment.

Can I claim osteopathy on my private health insurance?

Yes, in most cases. Avin is registered with the major UK health insurers, including AXA, Cigna, Exeter, WPA, HSA and Standard Life. You pay the clinic at your appointment and then claim the cost back from your insurer. Check your policy first, as some insurers need a GP referral or an authorisation code before your appointment.

How much does it cost to see an osteopath?

An initial osteopathy or medical acupuncture appointment costs £75 and follow-up appointments cost £60. Cranial osteopathy costs £80 for an initial appointment and £70 for a follow-up. Emergency and out-of-hours appointments cost £100. Home visit fees are available on request by calling 07739 828 664.

What does 'Find it, Fix it, Leave it' mean?

It is Avin's simple approach to treatment. 'Find it' means working out what is really causing your problem, which may not be where it hurts. 'Fix it' means treating that cause as directly as possible. 'Leave it' means not over-treating, and giving you the advice you need to help prevent the problem coming back.
