Affordable private healthcare: Luton Medical & Dental Clinic opens its doors seven days a week

This Autumn, Luton welcomed an exciting new healthcare hub in the town centre: Luton Medical and Dental Clinic.

This fully refurbished six-treatment-room clinic offers affordable GP and dental services seven days a week, with evening appointments available until 10pm.

The clinic’s team of over 30 staff use the latest techniques, including digital intraoral cameras and x-rays, to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Although the clinic operates privately, its fees are designed to be accessible and affordable, making high-quality care available to patients of all ages. Whether you are seeking a family-friendly GP, a dentist, or specialist medical treatment, Luton Medical & Dental Clinic offers a comprehensive range of private services.

With Dental check-ups costing £27, and GP appointments from £60, it offers affordable pricing with the convenience of private care. But what makes this clinic truly special is the team behind it.

Meet the team

Dr Salaman Iqbal, local resident and a highly regarded dentist from Bedfordshire, alongside local GPs Dr Asif Khan and Dr Gaj Swamy have joined forces to set up the clinic, located in the former Stuart Place Studios, next to the Driving Test Centre and Luton Magistrates’ Court,.

All three share the same vision to give back to their community by providing better, more accessible healthcare right in the heart of the town.

For Dr Iqbal, the opening of Luton Medical & Dental Clinic marks a deeply personal milestone.

Having spent much of his 15-year career serving Bedfordshire as a dentist, his vision has always been to bring affordable, modern dentistry to his hometown. After successfully launching practices in Silsoe, Ampthill and Biggleswade, he is now realising that ambition in Luton.

“Dentistry is not just about fixing teeth,” he said. “It’s about transforming lives, building confidence, and making sure people can access affordable care when they need it most.”

Offering private dentistry at NHS-style prices is central to this vision, helping to increase access to dental professionals across the community. “We’ve seen this model work extremely well at our Biggleswade High Street clinic. It’s a service that’s both welcomed and appreciated by patients.”

Dr Asif Khan is a General Practitioner who graduated from King’s College London in 2011 and completed his GP training in Bedfordshire. Since then, he has gained extensive experience across primary care, hospital settings, and out-of-hours services. He sees patients at Luton Medical & Dental Clinic, The Medic Clinic Bedford, and Bedford Hospital, while also serving as a senior clinician for the out-of-hours service, ensuring smooth, high-quality care during busy periods.

Dr Gaj Swamy, a local Tamil-speaking GP with special interests in acute medicine and dermatology, brings extensive experience in emergency medicine alongside a holistic, patient-centred approach to care. He treats a broad range of conditions, including diabetes, cardiovascular issues, ENT problems and paediatrics, tailoring treatment to each individual.

He has previously worked at Bedford Hospital and served as Clinical Lead at Bedford Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC), overseeing urgent care and leading teams to deliver fast, effective treatment.

In the community

Beyond his clinical work, Dr Salaman is well known in the community as the founder of Luton Grappling Club, which he established in 2017. A second-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, he dedicates his time to teaching both adults and children. His work recently earned him the Community Business of the Year Award at the Luton & Bedfordshire Community Awards, recognising his efforts to inspire a more active, engaged community.

He’s also taken part in international charity work, supporting vulnerable communities in Indonesia, Pakistan and the Rohingya camps in Bangladesh, providing aid where it’s needed most.

Dr Khan is deeply committed to making healthcare accessible to Luton's growing population. “As Luton evolves, it’s vital that everyone has access to timely medical advice, preventive care, and specialist support without unnecessary delays,” he says, adding that the clinic is helping to reduce pressure on hospitals.

Dr Swamy is a strong advocate for prevention as well as cure, he is well known for his thorough, solution-focused approach, which has earned him the trust of his patients. He has a particular reputation for carrying out minor procedures and skin surgery, including skin cancer removal and joint injections, which he now offers at the Luton clinic.

For him, healthcare is not just about treating illness “it’s about empowering people to live healthier, more confident lives, and ensuring the community has the standard of care it deserves” he says.

While Luton Medical & Dental Clinic operates as a private clinic and is not directly linked to the NHS, its presence is increasingly important for the town helping relieve pressures on the NHS and offering patients more options, shorter waiting times, and personalised care.
