When to consider a private doctor instead of NHS care

If you’re facing long waits for routine review, need same-day attention for a worrying new symptom, or want extended time to discuss multiple health issues, a private doctor can be the right choice. Many Lymm patients use private GP appointments for prompt sick notes, travel vaccinations, rapid blood tests or expedited specialist referrals.

Costs, membership and transparency

We publish clear fees and offer membership packages for regular users. Members benefit from discounted consultations and telephone/WhatsApp booking. All charges are explained before you book and you can choose a one-off visit or ongoing membership depending on how often you want quick access to care.

Practical detail for Lymm patients

Travel: Altrincham is an easy drive from Lymm; parking is available at our practice. Records: we can share consultation summaries with your NHS GP if you wish. Tests and referrals: where possible we arrange same-day tests or prioritised referrals to local specialists.

A local note

Many patients tell us they come to clinic after a walk around Lymm Dam or following errands on the village green — a quick trip that saves weeks of waiting and brings peace of mind.
