Access to the right specialist—when you need it—can transform your healthcare journey. In Dorking, those wanting fast, seamless private GP referrals often wonder: can a private doctor refer me to the right specialist? The answer is yes, and at Mayfield Clinic we take pride in connecting patients with leading consultants (both private and NHS) nationally, but especially in Oxford and London.

Private GP Referrals: Fast, Personalised, and Thorough

Every year, tens of thousands in the UK opt for private GPs to avoid agonising NHS wait times and to secure continuity of care with a known doctor. At Mayfield Clinic, each referral is expertly managed—whether it's for a private doctor referral, or to a trusted NHS specialist if that's right for you.

“Patients from Dorking can access our comprehensive private GP referral service by visiting our nearby clinic in Horsham, ensuring personal attention and smooth transitions to the best consultants.”

How Does the Private GP Referral Process Work?

Step 1 – Book Your Assessment: Start by booking online (or by phone/WhatsApp for members). Dorking residents are seen by our experienced clinicians at our Horsham clinic—a short drive away.

Step 2 – Thorough consultation: We take time to review your needs, medical history, and examine all the options. You’ll see the same named doctor every visit, helping us keep continuity and maintain detailed referral records.

Step 3 – Tailored referral: If a specialist is needed, we discuss your goals and preferences. Thanks to our rigorous network of private consultants (with expertise in Oxford and London), and direct channels to NHS services, we ensure you’re referred to professionals we trust. We keep all options transparent—so you stay involved and in control.

Step 4 – Ongoing coordination: We liaise directly with your chosen consultant, arrange appointments, and ensure all records are seamlessly shared. Should any follow-up be needed, our private GPs remain involved at every stage for truly joined-up care—this is essential for those balancing healthcare with busy Dorking lifestyles.
