Is Seeing a Private GP in Ivybridge Worth It? Expert Care Fast, When You Need It

For many in Ivybridge, the traditional NHS route for a GP appointment means uncertain waits, short consultations, and sometimes a lack of continuity with your doctor. By contrast, private GPs—like those at Mayfield Clinic—are raising the bar for patient care across the UK.

At Mayfield Clinic, patients in Ivybridge can access same-day or next-day appointments, extended consultation times, and a highly personalised service. Imagine discussing your health with a doctor who remembers your name—and your history. Many of our patients tell us the value isn’t just in speed, but in being heard.

What Does a Private GP Offer?

When you see a private GP, you benefit from a model focused on fast access, longer appointments, and a dedicated named doctor. Our clinics support everything from urgent illnesses and skin complaints to lifestyle support, prescription management, and referrals to top specialists across Devon and the UK.

“Being able to book a private doctor appointment online, and see the same GP each time, has made all the difference to my health,” reports a local professional from Ivybridge.
