Long NHS waiting times and short appointments can leave people in Alton feeling frustrated. According to the latest NHS Digital data, patients in parts of Hampshire now wait over a fortnight for routine appointments. It's no wonder more and more Alton residents are considering private GP services for their healthcare needs.
But is booking a private GP appointment truly worth it? For many in Alton, the answer is yes—and here’s why. At Mayfield Clinic Alton, private GP consultations offer not only faster access to expert doctors but also the chance to build an ongoing relationship with a named GP. This means you receive continuity of care, giving your GP valuable insight into your personal health journey. For those in Alton, our appointments are delivered from our nearby Farnham practice—a convenient 20-minute drive from central Alton, well served by local bus and rail routes.
Imagine booking an appointment that fits your schedule—not the other way round.
