MRI, CT and X-ray studies are uploaded to a secure portal and reviewed personally by Mr Russo before any appointment is offered — so the first conversation is already an informed one.
A full sixty-minute consultant appointment by encrypted video, in English or Italian, with the imaging shared on screen and explained in plain language.
A confidential letter setting out the diagnosis, the indication for surgery, the alternatives and the expected recovery, written so that your local physician can act on it.
The practice liaises with Harley Street hospitals and nearby serviced accommodation for patients and one accompanying family member.
Post-operative reviews continue by video, with imaging read remotely and a discharge summary sent to your treating team abroad.
Where surgery is agreed, dates, pre-operative investigations and theatre booking are coordinated around your travel window rather than the other way round.
You send a brief clinical history and upload your imaging to the secure portal. There is no charge for this stage, and no appointment is offered until the studies have been reviewed.
A sixty-minute consultant appointment at a time adjusted to your time zone. You will leave it knowing the diagnosis, whether surgery is indicated, and what happens if you do nothing.
A written opinion follows within five working days, together with an itemised estimate covering surgeon, anaesthetist, hospital and expected length of stay.
If you proceed, the secretary confirms dates, pre-operative tests and hospital admission, and provides the documentation required for a UK medical visa where applicable.
Surgery is performed at a Harley Street hospital under Mr Russo’s personal care, with daily consultant review rather than delegated ward rounds.
You are reviewed before you are cleared to fly, given a written rehabilitation plan, and followed up by video with your local team copied into every letter.
The imaging review comes first. If surgery is not the right answer, you will be told so in writing, and a great many international enquiries conclude with a plan that can be delivered close to home.
Consultations in English and Italian; interpreters arranged on request.
