NHS alternative private GP care in Epping — fast, personalised appointments

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

Waiting lists across the NHS have grown; almost one in five patients now report delays that affect their daily life. If you live in Epping and need quicker access to a doctor, Mayfield Clinic offers a practical private GP alternative that doesn’t force you to leave your NHS care.

Why choose a private GP alternative in Epping?

Our private GP service gives you immediate availability, longer appointment slots and continuity with a named doctor. That means more time to explain symptoms, to review complex problems, and to agree a clear plan — all delivered with the same general practice expertise you expect from an NHS GP.

How we work alongside your NHS care

You can keep your NHS GP while using Mayfield Clinic as an alternative to NHS GP appointments in Epping. We provide second opinions, urgent same-week appointments and routine reviews. We’ll share records and reports with your NHS team if you want us to, so both services work together for your benefit.

Appointments and access

Book online using the Book now button for immediate appointment slots. Members in Epping can also book by phone or WhatsApp for direct scheduling. Our system prioritises speed: many patients from Epping are seen within 24–48 hours compared with NHS waits measured in weeks.

What to expect at your first visit

Your first appointment with our private GP includes a full clinical review, medication reconciliation and a personalised care plan. Appointments are longer than standard NHS slots, allowing time for thorough discussion and a clear next-steps plan. If tests or specialist referrals are needed, we arrange them promptly to reduce further delay.

Services that make private GP care different

We focus on rapid access and continuity. Typical advantages for Epping patients include:

• Same-week or next-day GP appointments
• Longer consultation times with a named GP for continuity of care
• Rapid diagnostic testing and expedited referrals
• Clear written summaries and communication with your NHS GP when required

A real local detail

Many Epping patients tell us they prefer being seen near the high street after work; our Loughton practice is a short drive from Epping, with easy transport links. One patient from Epping commented that moving from rushed 10-minute slots to our 30-minute appointments made it easier to manage a chronic condition without repeated visits.

Costs and membership

Private appointments are pay-per-visit or via membership packages that include priority booking and discounted rates. Members from Epping can book directly by phone or WhatsApp for faster access and can often secure regular appointments with the same named GP.

When to consider a private GP instead of NHS care

Consider Mayfield Clinic if NHS waiting times would delay diagnosis or treatment, if you need more time to discuss complex symptoms, or if continuity with a single GP is important. Our service acts as a quick GP alternative for Epping residents who need reliable, timely care.

We aim to provide the same clinical standards as NHS general practice, but with the time and flexibility many people need right now.
