Access to the right specialist—when you need it—can transform your healthcare journey. In Teignmouth, residents searching for experienced private GPs with streamlined referral options often wonder: Can a private GP refer me to a specialist?

At Mayfield Clinic Teignmouth, we understand how crucial it is for patients to see the right expert quickly and with continuity. While we welcome patients from Teignmouth, appointments are delivered at our established Exeter practice (see where we are), making high-quality private care easily reachable from the coast.

Fact: In Devon, average NHS referral waits for routine specialist appointments can exceed 14 weeks. Private GPs, however, can expedite access for both private and NHS specialists, often shaving weeks off your waiting time.

How Private GP Referrals Work at Mayfield Clinic Teignmouth

Our approach is personal. Consult with the same named doctor each time—someone who truly understands your health. When a referral is warranted, you’ll be involved in every step. We talk through your options, explain the rationale behind each specialist suggestion, and help you make the best choice.

If you prefer a private route, we maintain trusted links with highly regarded consultants, mainly in Oxford and London, selected for their exemplary track records. Prefer to access NHS pathways? We can also refer you into NHS specialist services, and we’ll clarify how this process works and what you can expect.
