Clear prices, before you pay for anything
We publish a guide price for every treatment we offer, and you can see a rough guide for your own plan before you book a consultation, including one or two procedures in the same operation.
The guide shows what is included: your surgery, anaesthetic, stay, aftercare and follow-up for 12 months. It also shows what is not included, such as the £200 consultation fee. Your firm price is always given in writing after your consultation.

Informative consultation last week with Dr Omar Quaba, we discussed options on how to reduce the appearance of my hooded eyes and we agreed a direct brow lift would give me the best result, Dr Quaba explained what to expect in great detail from start to finish in a very professional manner which made me feel at ease. If you are considering cosmetic treatments I would highly recommend you have a consultation at Waterfront Private Hospital to discuss your options.

So glad I chose waterfront medical practice, so professional, very attentive to every detail of the consultation, and made me feel very relaxed and in safe hands.

I couldn’t recommend Dr Katie more highly.Lynda AndersonNovember 2026Read on Trustpilot (opens in a new tab)
I had a very positive experience at the Waterfront Hospital with Dr. Kazem Nassar and his team. I booked an initial consultation to have a lesion on my face assessed and ultimately biopsied. The results confirmed a carcinoma and this was skilfully excised by Dr Nassar involving a skin graft. The whole process was handled extremely professionally. Dr. Nassar explained each procedure very clearly, made me feel comfortable throughout, and answered all my questions. I felt very confident in his abilities and felt very well cared for and informed from start to finish. I would definitely recommend Dr. Nassar and his team at the Waterfront Hospital.

I went to the waterfront hospital for a mole check with Dr Nassar. He was fantastic, I felt immediately at ease. He was thorough and explained everything very clearly to me. I left reassured and wouldn’t hesitate to recomend the mole check service. It has lifted a niggling weight off my mind. Thank you! 10/10

Different by design
- One consultant throughout
The consultant who assesses you plans your surgery, performs it, and reviews you afterwards — with routine aftercare delivered by our nursing team under their direction. No handover, no patient coordinator, no surgeon rotation. - Specialists, by design
We work only in plastic surgery, skin surgery and procedural dermatology, soft tissue hand surgery, and non-surgical aesthetic medicine. Every consultant is on the GMC Specialist Register in the field they practise. - Transparent pricing
Guide prices are published for every procedure. The price you are quoted in writing after consultation covers the consultant’s fee, the hospital and theatre fees, and your routine post-operative reviews. - A hospital built for this
Purpose-built in Granton for outpatient and day-case surgery — calm and considered, with free parking, full disabled access, and views over the Forth.

FAQ for our private Edinburgh hospital
Where is Waterfront Private Hospital located?
Our hospital is situated on the waterfront in Granton, North Edinburgh, with views of the Forth estuary. This serene location complements our patient-focused approach to care.
Do you offer free consultations?
No. Our consultations are clinical assessments with a consultant plastic surgeon — they have genuine clinical value, and we charge for them accordingly. Charging also helps us look after the patients who have already decided that quality of care matters most, by ensuring our consultants’ time is given to patients who have thought carefully about their choice rather than to general enquiries. If you would like to learn about procedures and our approach before booking, our free AI aesthetic guide is available without a booking or any personal details.
Does the hospital accept insurance patients?
At this time, we exclusively accept self-funding patients. This allows us to focus entirely on your needs without the constraints imposed by insurance protocols. However, we are working towards accommodating insurance patients in the future.
What are typical waiting times for consultations and surgeries?
Waiting times vary by consultant. For some of our consultants, a first consultation can be arranged within 1 to 2 weeks. For others, particularly those with longer-established practices, the wait is typically longer — up to around two months for a consultation, and up to around three months for surgery once a decision to proceed has been made. When you get in touch, we will let you know the current waiting times for the consultants whose specialties match your needs.
How can I book an appointment?
You can book a consultation online through our website, or contact us by phone on 0131 376 3785, by email, or through our contact form. Our team is ready to assist you with scheduling your visit.
Can Waterfront Private Hospital treat children?
No, we currently treat adult patients only (18 and over). Our services are tailored specifically to provide specialised care for this age group.
