Private GP vs NHS: Is It Worth It?

NHS GPs do incredible work, but they’re often stretched for time. Appointments may be short, and continuity can be hard with frequent doctor changes. Private GP appointments at Mayfield Clinic, accessible to Dawlish patients, typically last 20-30 minutes. That’s time focused on you, ensuring your symptoms are fully explored and your questions answered. Private GPs provide patient-centred care, blending medical expertise with the convenience and speed modern patients need.

Is Seeing a Private GP Expensive?

Private GP fees reflect the level of access and personal care provided. Many patients in Dawlish choose a pay-as-you-go approach for occasional visits, while others opt for membership options for even greater flexibility and value. We’re committed to pricing transparency and delivering exceptional healthcare experiences.
