The Rutherford Clinic

Your GP will refer you us if they are concerned that you have problems that require a specialist opinion regarding the diagnosis or treatment of the condition.

Before coming to our clinic, you may be asked to undergo tests such as blood tests, urine tests or stool/faeces tests (you collect a sample of your urine or poo for analysis).

During your appointment a history of your symptoms will be taken as well as a review of any medications you are on (please bring these with you). You will then be examined which mayinvolve, depending on your complaints, a rectal examination. This involves the insertion of the doctor’s finger or a tube into your bottom to examine the inside.
