Overview
Chase Farm on The Ridgeway is one of North London's most established hospital campuses.Read moreShow less
And Kings Oak Hospital within it brings private consultant urology to an area that sits at the meeting point of North Enfield, Potters Bar, and the Hertfordshire commuter belt. For patients from Hadley Wood, Cuffley, New Barnet, and Cockfosters who develop kidney stone pain, the options have historically been a long wait at Chase Farm's NHS urology department or a journey into Central London for private care. HRG Urology at Kings Oak Hospital eliminates that journey entirely. Dr. Harshawardhan Godbole FRCS consults here directly, giving North Enfield and Hertfordshire border patients access to the same consultant-led kidney stone service available at Central London private hospitals, without leaving their local area.
What to know
Private Kidney Stone Treatment at Kings Oak Hospital, Chase Farm
Chase Farm Hospital is the NHS anchor institution for North Enfield.Read moreShow less
And Kings Oak Hospital operating within the same campus benefits from both the institutional infrastructure and the trusted community association. For private kidney stone patients, this means access to CT imaging facilities on-site, prompt test processing, and a clinical environment the North Enfield community already knows.
Dr. Harshawardhan Godbole FRCS is the Cancer Lead and MDT Lead for Urology at North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust — a senior clinical leadership position that places him at the forefront of North London urological practice. His private consultations at Kings Oak Hospital draw on this institutional expertise, benefiting patients who may eventually require coordinated NHS care for more complex presentations.
Distinguishing Kidney Stone Pain from Other Causes of Loin Pain
Not every loin pain is a kidney stone.Read moreShow less
Musculoskeletal pain, aortic aneurysm, gastrointestinal pathology, and ovarian cysts in women can all present with unilateral loin discomfort. A CT KUB distinguishes renal colic from these alternatives definitively. At Kings Oak Hospital, Dr. Godbole's team ensures that a kidney stone diagnosis is confirmed by imaging rather than clinical assumption — protecting patients from both missed stones and unnecessary stone treatments for pain caused by other pathology.

Questions
Can I reach Kings Oak Hospital at Chase Farm from Potters Bar for kidney stone treatment?
Yes. Kings Oak Hospital on The Ridgeway is approximately 15–20 minutes from Potters Bar by road via the A10 or M25 junction 24. Patients from Brookmans Park, Cuffley, and Hadley Wood also find this location considerably closer than Central London alternatives. Call +44 (0)7884 183968 and our team can confirm directions from your specific starting point.
What is the difference between Kings Oak Hospital and Cavell Hospital for HRG Urology kidney stone patients in Enfield?
Both are HRG Urology Enfield locations offering the same range of kidney stone treatments under Dr. Godbole. Kings Oak Hospital at Chase Farm EN2 8SD is better situated for patients in North Enfield, Cockfosters, Potters Bar, and the Hertfordshire border. Cavell Hospital on Uplands Park Road EN2 7PR is better for Enfield Town, Winchmore Hill, and Palmers Green. The standard of care is identical at both sites.
Does Dr. Godbole operate at Kings Oak Hospital, or only at Cavell Hospital in Enfield?
Dr. Harshawardhan Godbole consults and performs procedures at both Kings Oak Hospital and Cavell Hospital in Enfield. Private kidney stone patients at Kings Oak receive the same consultant-led care as patients at the other HRG Urology locations. You can request either site when booking — call +44 (0)7884 183968.
I have both kidney stones and high blood pressure — is there a connection and should I mention it?
Yes — always mention hypertension at your kidney stone consultation. Hypertension is associated with certain stone-forming conditions, including hyperparathyroidism and renal tubular acidosis. Additionally, some antihypertensive medications — particularly thiazide diuretics — can actually reduce calcium stone formation, while other medications may increase stone risk. Dr. Godbole's metabolic stone evaluation accounts for medications and blood pressure as part of a complete assessment.
What aftercare does Kings Oak Hospital provide after kidney stone treatment?
Post-treatment follow-up includes a repeat CT KUB or ultrasound at 4–6 weeks to confirm stone clearance, a metabolic blood and urine evaluation for recurrent stone formers, and a personalised dietary and hydration plan. All follow-up appointments are provided at Kings Oak Hospital or your preferred HRG Urology London location, maintaining full continuity of care under Dr. Godbole's team.
