NHS alternative private GP care in Buckhurst Hill: faster appointments, named doctors

Why Buckhurst Hill residents choose a private GP alternative

Long NHS waits are pushing patients to look for reliable alternatives. At Mayfield Clinic we offer private GP care for Buckhurst Hill residents who want faster access, longer appointments and continuity with the same doctor. Appointments are booked online via the Book now button; members can also call or WhatsApp to book directly.

Immediate access when you need it

If you need a same-day appointment or a quicker face-to-face review than local NHS waits allow, our private GP service is designed to fill that gap. We provide urgent consultations, routine reviews and second opinions with minimal delay. For Buckhurst Hill patients, consultations take place at our nearby Loughton practice — find directions and details here: Mayfield Clinic Loughton.

Longer appointments, better conversations

Our standard private GP appointment is longer than a typical NHS slot. That means more time for history-taking, joint decision-making and personalised care plans. If you need to discuss multiple symptoms, complex medication reviews, or mental health concerns, the extended appointment model reduces rushed consultations and repeated visits.

Continuity with a named doctor

Seeing the same GP consistently improves outcomes. We match Buckhurst Hill patients to a named GP where possible so your care is continuous — the same clinician who knows your history, preferences and ongoing issues. This is especially useful for chronic conditions and repeat prescriptions.

How we work with the NHS

You do not need to deregister from your NHS GP to use our private services. We can act as a complementary service: urgent issues, quicker diagnostics, or a second opinion when NHS waiting times are too long. We’ll provide clear, shareable clinical notes so your NHS GP stays informed.

Services commonly used as an NHS alternative

Our private GP services in the Buckhurst Hill area include urgent consultations, same-day blood tests and ECGs, occupational health letters, travel and vaccine advice, and chronic disease reviews. Where investigations are needed, we arrange prompt testing and rapid specialist referrals.

Transparent pricing and membership options

We offer a straightforward fee schedule for one-off appointments and membership packages for patients who want regular, priority access. Members benefit from phone and WhatsApp booking, direct clinician messaging and reduced waiting times for follow-ups.

Local note: Buckhurst Hill to Loughton — a short trip for better care

Buckhurst Hill residents often prefer our Loughton site for appointments — it’s a brief journey across Epping Forest and many find travel easier than long NHS waits. On busy market days at Queen’s Road, patients tell us they appreciate same-day access rather than waiting weeks for an NHS review.
