Looking for fast access to a GP without the wait? Residents in Dawlish increasingly seek private GP consultations for personalised healthcare, longer appointments, and the continuity of seeing the same doctor regularly. At Mayfield Clinic, while our patients from Dawlish are seen at our Exeter practice (find us here), we ensure your care is immediate and thorough—precisely what many in Dawlish are searching for.

What Is a Private GP Consultation?

A private GP consultation is a medical appointment with an experienced general practitioner, delivered outside of the NHS. It offers convenience and direct access: you can discuss any health concerns without lengthy waits. The process is straightforward—book online with Mayfield Clinic, attend our Exeter site, and experience our premium practice model.

Benefits of Private GP Consultations for Dawlish Patients

Why choose a private GP consultation if you live in Dawlish? One huge plus is time. Our standard appointments are 30 minutes, with the option to book longer. This means your concerns are thoroughly addressed, and we're never rushed.

How Do Private GP Consultations Work at Mayfield Clinic?

Booking a private GP consultation is simple: patients in Dawlish can book online to secure a slot. You’ll then visit us at our easily accessible Exeter clinic. If you require ongoing care, our membership programme provides priority booking, extended appointment access, and seamless coordination of your medical records.
