20/10/2025 by Dr Amanda Northridge

Fast, personal GP care for Esher when the NHS wait is too long

Waiting lists across England are stretching: recent NHS data shows thousands of primary care appointments delayed each month. If you live in Esher and need quicker access or longer consultations, Mayfield Clinic provides a clear NHS alternative with prompt appointments and continuity from a named GP.

Why consider a private GP as an NHS alternative in Esher?

Private GP care at Mayfield Clinic in Cobham gives Esher patients immediate availability, longer appointment times and tailored care plans. You do not need to leave your NHS GP to use our service — we work alongside your existing healthcare arrangements, offering second opinions, urgent reviews or simply more time to discuss complex issues. We aim to bridge the gap when NHS waiting times make timely care difficult.

What you get with Mayfield Clinic for Esher residents

Short waiting times: same-week appointments are routinely available for Esher patients visiting our Cobham practice (Cobham). Longer consultations: 20–40 minute slots allow thorough review, investigation planning and clear follow-up.Continuity of care: book regular visits with the same named GP to build a medical relationship that supports long-term health.Clinical breadth: routine exams, blood tests, chronic disease reviews, minor procedures, travel and occupational health — all delivered to the highest private GP standards.

How we coordinate with your NHS GP

We can send clinical letters, results and care plans to your NHS GP to ensure your records remain complete. If you need investigations or referrals that remain within NHS services, we provide carefully documented assessments to speed those processes. Using Mayfield Clinic as a Private GP instead of NHS for immediate access doesn’t close doors — it opens them, while keeping your NHS pathway intact.

Members may call or use WhatsApp to book directly.2) Choose an appointment length that fits your need — urgent 20-minute slots or extended 40-minute consultations for complex cases.3) Bring any medication lists, recent NHS letters or test results to help your named GP make rapid, accurate decisions.

Local context — Esher to Cobham: fast care without long travel

Esher residents typically travel 10–15 minutes to Cobham; many find the short commute worth the faster access and extended consultation time. Our Cobham clinic is set up to receive patients from Esher and nearby towns — directions and parking details are on our Cobham location page (Cobham). A local anecdote: a parent from Esher booked a same-day appointment for a persistent cough and left with a clear treatment plan and a full follow-up arranged the same week — something that would have taken longer through routine NHS channels.

When private GP care is the right choice

Consider private GP care in Esher if you need faster diagnosis, a second opinion, more time for mental health or complex medication reviews, or if you require rapid access to repeat prescriptions and specialist referrals. Our model places emphasis on prompt assessments and ongoing relationships with a named doctor.
