Consultant-led rapid diagnosis breast clinic in Harley Street, London: consultation, breast examination & imaging with same-day results where clinically appropriate.
Ideal for investigating lumps, cysts, breast pain, changes in the breast or simply seeking peace of mind through screening.
Harley Street Breast Care runs a consultant-led One Stop Breast Clinic in London at 35 Weymouth Street, London W1G 8BJ, in the Harley Street medical district of Marylebone. Whether you’ve noticed a lump, experienced changes in your breast, have breast pain or nipple discharge, want to discuss your family’s history of breast cancer, or have had an abnormal mammogram elsewhere, our London breast clinic brings the consultation, examination, imaging and, where needed, biopsy into one streamlined visit.
In many cases, no treatment is required, offering peace of mind. If further tests or treatment are needed, your specialist will explain why and set out the next step clearly. Your consultation forms the foundation of a personalised plan, and throughout your care you’ll be supported by our multidisciplinary team of radiologists, oncologists and pathologists, and by our dedicated Specialist Breast Care Nurses, who offer holistic support and counselling for both your physical and emotional needs.
We see self-pay and privately insured patients from across London and Central London, the wider UK, and international patients travelling to London for specialist breast care.
A typical One-Stop assessment takes around 60–90 minutes from arrival to results, depending on the investigations required. Same-day results are available where clinically appropriate; some tests, such as biopsy pathology, need further processing and a follow-up. The pathway is designed to remove the delay between steps, not to shorten your consultation.
You are seen by Mr Debashis Ghosh, Consultant Breast & Oncoplastic Surgeon and Founder & Lead Surgeon of Harley Street Breast Care – not passed between junior clinicians.

If your results show that treatment is needed, a personalised plan is developed with input from radiologists, oncologists and pathologists, covering breast cancer treatment, surgery, oncoplastic options, breast reconstruction and aftercare – all within the same specialist pathway. Reconstruction can be planned as part of your treatment from the start.
