Private GP

27/04/2025 by Dr Amanda Northridge

Struggling to be seen quickly by your GP in East Grinstead? 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 East Grinstead, that’s an inconvenient reality—especially when you need fast, expert medical advice.

At Mayfield Clinic, we understand the importance of timely, personal care. While we serve East Grinstead residents from our established Horsham practice, we’re dedicated to making premium private GP services accessible for your community. In this article, we’ll answer the burning question: is seeing a private GP worth it in East Grinstead? And what real benefits can you expect?

Private GP vs NHS: Speed and Continuity

The difference starts with how quickly you can be seen. At Mayfield Clinic, appointments are available online for bookings at your convenience, often with same-day availability. Unlike traditional routes in East Grinstead, you aren’t left waiting endlessly. If you’re a member, you get even more flexibility—book directly by phone or WhatsApp for added ease.

Personalised, In-depth Consultations

Each consultation is unhurried and thorough. Our GPs take the time to understand your needs, history, and concerns. You’ll often see the same doctor each time—building a relationship that’s rare in today’s NHS model. For East Grinstead patients, this consistency leads to faster diagnosis, better-tailored advice, and a smoother experience.

Expertise Across a Wide Range of Health Needs

Whether it’s skin issues, migraines, infections, or more complex conditions, Mayfield Clinic covers it all. Advice, assessments, prescriptions, proactive lifestyle support, and speedy specialist referrals are all part of the package. Our private doctors can act rapidly—no waiting for weeks to start further investigations or treatments.
