Private GP

27/04/2025 by Dr Marcus Gleave

Long waits for appointments. Short ten-minute consultations. Seeing a different doctor every visit. These are frustrations many in Yate experience when trying to access healthcare. But it doesn't have to be this way. Imagine booking a GP appointment online, getting in-depth care within days, and returning to the same named doctor every time – all from a premium clinic just down the road in Bristol.

Private GP Benefits for Patients in Yate

For those wondering “is private GP worth it?”, the answer often comes down to speed, continuity and the quality of your consultation. At Mayfield Clinic’s Yate offering (powered by our Bristol hub), you can bypass lengthy NHS waits and access expert care precisely when you need it. Our GPs provide longer appointments – typically 20-30 minutes – so there’s time to really listen to your concerns and explore a plan that suits your health goals. We pride ourselves on continuity, so you can build a relationship with the same doctor each visit, creating a more personal experience that improves clinical outcomes.

Convenient Access from Yate to Bristol

Although we serve patients in Yate, your appointment will take place at our modern clinic in nearby Bristol. Many from Yate tell us they prefer making the short journey in exchange for the peace of mind that comes from immediate access to leading medical professionals. For those with busy lives – from commuters to parents juggling after-school pickups at Yate Academy – flexible online and weekend appointments mean tailored care fits around you.

What Can a Private GP Help With?

Our private GPs see more than just coughs and colds; we handle everything from acute infections, skin conditions and migraines to ongoing concerns like digestive complaints or stress. Need a prescription? Leave with it in hand. Require a referral for a specialist? We’ll arrange it, often within days. From health checks to lifestyle advice, our service is designed for proactive people who don’t want to compromise when it comes to their wellbeing.
