Is Seeing a Private GP in Honiton Worth It? Benefits, Access & Experience

Private GP

27/04/2025 by Dr Antony Malloy

Imagine waiting days—or even weeks—for a GP appointment and getting just a brief consultation at the end of it. Now picture the alternative: booking a private doctor appointment online, being seen promptly at a nearby clinic, and having a thorough, unhurried consultation. At Mayfield Clinic, this is the everyday experience, and for many residents in Honiton, it’s transforming healthcare access.

Private GP Benefits: Honiton’s Fast Track to Quality Care

Across the UK, over 20% of patients report waiting more than a week to see their NHS GP. In contrast, our Exeter practice, serving Honiton and surrounding areas, offers same-day and next-day private GP appointments. It’s a game-changer for anyone managing a busy life or seeking timely help for acute concerns.

Comprehensive, Patient-Centred Consultations

Our private GPs dedicate more time to each patient—whether it’s a 30-minute in-depth assessment, expert medical advice, or ongoing lifestyle support. Regular access to your chosen doctor ensures continuity. This personal connection means no repeating your history or rushing through symptoms.

Why Choose a Private GP vs NHS in Honiton?

While NHS services remain invaluable, patients in Honiton are discovering that private GP clinics fill important gaps. You get rapid appointments, longer consultations, and flexible access (including video or in-person visits). Plus, our Exeter location is easily accessible by car or train from Honiton, making it convenient for those in the area.

“Our Honiton patients often tell us the journey to Exeter is well worth it for the prompt, thorough and personal care they receive.”
