If you live in Totnes and want answers, fast, you’re not alone. Over three-quarters of residents surveyed by the Totnes Times agreed: timely specialist medical advice is harder to access than ever. That’s why many people now turn to private GPs for quicker solutions and continuity of care.
Can a private GP refer you to a specialist? Absolutely, and it’s far more straightforward than you might think. At Mayfield Clinic, although we don’t have a Totnes base, we serve Totnes patients from our state-of-the-art Salcombe & Kingsbridge practice (find us here). You'll see the same dedicated private doctor at each visit – someone who knows your story and your needs.
When a specialist referral is needed, our GPs act promptly. Whether your pathway is towards a private consultant or an NHS specialist, your Totnes GP will explain every option and support every step. We’re proud of our trusted network of expert consultants, largely in Oxford and London, chosen for their outstanding care and reputation. You’re always in control, deciding alongside your GP what’s best for your health.
It’s remarkably efficient. After your consultation, we’ll often be able to email your referral letter to the chosen consultant or NHS department the same day. We also ensure all records and communications are comprehensive, so your journey is seamless. You’ll never be left chasing paperwork or answers.
"Patients from Totnes often tell us they value how Mayfield Clinic keeps their experience human – no call centre scripts, just dedicated support for each step of your care.”
Our private GP service isn’t just about seeing a doctor more quickly – it’s about being seen by the same doctor each visit. We believe this leads to better healthcare outcomes, especially when specialist input is required. Regular communication between your GP and your specialist ensures nothing gets lost, your records are accurate, and you feel involved at all times.
Booking an appointment is simple. For most Totnes patients, the quickest way is online (just look for the "Book now" button).
