Private GP

20/10/2025 by Dr Amanda Northridge

Fast, personalised private GP care for Pontypridd patients

One in four patients wait more than two weeks for routine NHS GP appointments; that delay can change treatment choices. If you live in Pontypridd and need quicker access or longer consultations, Mayfield Clinic offers a practical alternative that works alongside your NHS care.

Why choose a private GP alternative in Pontypridd?

When NHS waiting times are too long, a private GP can be the difference between prompt treatment and avoidable worry. At Mayfield Clinic we provide immediate availability, extended appointments and continuity with the same named doctor so you get consistent care. You don’t have to leave your NHS GP — our service complements it, whether you need a second opinion, urgent assessment or more time to discuss complex symptoms.

How our Pontypridd patients access care

Although we deliver consultations from our Cardiff clinic, we actively support people from Pontypridd. Book online via the Book now button for same-day or next-day appointments; members can also book by phone or WhatsApp. Travel from Pontypridd to our Cardiff practice is straightforward, and we’ll make your visit efficient and focused.

What you’ll get at your appointment

Expect a comprehensive review that mirrors NHS clinical standards but with greater time and flexibility. Appointments are longer so we can explore symptoms, review medication, order investigations or arrange swift referrals. If you want a private doctor instead of waiting months for an NHS slot, our team gives clear, evidence-based plans tailored to you.

Working with your NHS care

We send consultation summaries and requested tests back to your NHS GP when you wish, so your records stay up to date. Using a private GP in Pontypridd is not a replacement but a strategic alternative when NHS capacity is limited. Many patients choose our service for urgent problems, chronic disease reviews or simply for the reassurance of uninterrupted care with a named clinician.

Appointments, tests and follow-up

We can arrange blood tests, imaging and specialist referrals quickly through our Cardiff location, minimising delays that often occur within stretched NHS pathways. If monitoring or repeat prescriptions are needed, our system supports seamless follow-up. Members in Pontypridd benefit from priority booking by phone or WhatsApp for even faster access.

Costs and transparency

Private appointments are paid for per visit, and we provide clear pricing up front. We’ll explain which services can be communicated to your NHS GP and which may carry separate fees. If cost is a concern, ask about targeted options like focused second opinions or single-problem consultations—efficient, effective and direct.

Local detail: Pontypridd to Cardiff

Pontypridd residents often choose Mayfield Clinic because Cardiff is only a short drive or rail journey away. We make clinic visits productive: digital forms before your appointment, parking guidance and rapid access to tests reduce time in clinic.

Who benefits most from a private GP alternative?

People with new worrying symptoms, those needing a second opinion, patients with multiple long-term conditions requiring continuity, and anyone who values longer appointments all benefit. If NHS waiting times in Pontypridd are affecting care decisions, our service offers a reliable alternative without disrupting your existing NHS registration.

“Accessible, timely and continuous care matters. We focus on treating the person, not just the symptom.”
