Is Seeing a Private GP in Dartmouth Worth It? Expert Care Without the Wait

Private GP

27/04/2025 by Dr Marcus Gleave

Struggling to be seen quickly by your GP in Dartmouth? You're not the only one. A recent survey showed that over half of patients in coastal towns wait more than a week for a standard GP appointment. For families and busy professionals in Dartmouth who need fast, expert healthcare, these delays just don't work.

This is where Mayfield Clinic steps in. While we serve Dartmouth residents from our modern practice in Salcombe & Kingsbridge, we're dedicated to offering private GP services designed around your needs. We prioritise speed, continuity, and personal attention—so you can focus on your health instead of your diary.

Why Choose a Private GP in Dartmouth?

There are plenty of reasons more people in Dartmouth are choosing a private GP. Long waits, rushed consultations, and lack of continuity often make NHS appointments frustrating. Private GP care with Mayfield Clinic brings you:

“Switching to Mayfield Clinic gave me back control of my health. Booking was easy, I saw the same doctor every time, and proactive follow-up made a real difference.”

We believe every Dartmouth patient deserves tailored, attentive healthcare—so while you'll be seen at our Salcombe & Kingsbridge clinic, everything else is designed around your convenience. Book your appointment online at any time, secure in the knowledge that our friendly team is ready to assist. Members can also book by phone or WhatsApp for added flexibility.
