Is Seeing a Private GP in Dorking Worth It? Fast Access & Personalised Care

Private GP

27/04/2025 by Dr Marcus Gleave

Struggling to be seen quickly by your GP in Dorking? Many people are. A recent survey showed that over half of patients in the UK wait more than a week for a standard GP appointment. For families and busy professionals in Dorking, that’s an inconvenient reality—especially when you need fast, expert medical advice.

At Mayfield Clinic, we understand the unique needs of Dorking residents. That’s why we offer premium private GP services, providing flexible in-person and online appointments. While our physical clinic is based in Horsham, we serve many patients from Dorking seeking fast, reliable healthcare just a short drive away.

What Makes a Private GP Appointment Different?

Choosing a private GP in Dorking means more than just avoiding long NHS queues. At Mayfield Clinic, our philosophy is built around time, expertise, and personal connection. Appointments are typically 30 minutes—giving you the chance to discuss all your concerns, however minor or complex. You’ll typically see the same GP, ensuring continuity and a deeper understanding of your health.

“From infections and skin concerns to migraines and digestive issues, our GPs provide expert diagnosis, tailored advice, and rapid access to onward referrals when needed.”

Key Benefits for Dorking Residents

Private GP vs NHS in Dorking

While the NHS provides invaluable care, demand often outstrips resources—leading to delays, rushed consultations, and less choice. Going private at Mayfield Clinic means control: you choose your appointment time and can see the same doctor regularly, who will get to know you and your health in detail. Our GPs offer comprehensive assessments, immediate prescriptions, and ongoing support for chronic concerns.

Is It Worth It for You?

If your priority is rapid access to expert, personalised GP care in Dorking, a private GP could offer advantages NHS patients often miss. This is especially true for those managing complex health needs, time-pressed professionals, or families wanting proactive support for children or elderly relatives.

Our patients from Dorking enjoy peace of mind knowing they can get advice and treatment when it suits them, whether that’s a quick video call in a lunch break or an in-depth in-person review at our Horsham clinic.
