Discretion Healthcare

Discretion Healthcare is a distinctive private practice in Oxfordshire founded by experienced NHS Consultant Specialists, Dr Emily Lord (sexual health) and Dr Stephanie Arnold (dermatology). With over a decade of combined expertise, they offer discreet, accessible, and highly professional services specialising in dermatology and sexual health.

Dr Lord and Dr Arnold offer comprehensive private services within their respective fields. Working together at Discretion Healthcare means that patients with a range of intimate health concerns receive a truly specialised assessment and the opportunity to get a diagnosis and treatment plan for problems that sometimes worry them for a long time. Conditions such as penis disorders, thrush, bacterial vaginosis, men's health, genital dermatoses (e.g. lichen sclerosis), menopause-related vaginal problems or genital pain of unknown cause are all treated at the clinic. They can also take care of HPV-related problems, carry out cervical smears and administer HPV vaccination, as well as fully assess and manage HPV-related skin disorders, such as VIN and PIN. 

At Discretion Healthcare, they prioritise patient comfort and offer assurance, diagnosis and tailored treatment plans for sensitive issues. While Dr Lord will diagnose and treat all infections, including STIs or candida and BV, Dr Arnold will carry out a thorough dermatological examination, including biopsies of all worrying lesions. 

They understand the importance of second opinions and work with a select group of gynaecological and colorectal colleagues to make seemless referrals if necessary. They also offer patients the opportunity to make a joint appointment, see both specialists together, and get a truly comprehensive assessment. If you would like to consider this option, ask for an appointment, provide details of your symptoms, and their doctors will respond to confirm the best type of appointment for you.

Transparent fee discussions ensure patients understand costs, and they also offer aesthetic treatments for overall well-being. A £50 deposit is required to secure your booking, deducted from your final bill.
