Ever felt frustrated trying to see a GP quickly or having to repeat your medical history to a new face with every appointment? In Sidmouth and the surrounding East Devon area, easy access to trusted private GP services can be hard to find. That’s where Mayfield Clinic steps in: offering a premium private GP consultation experience just a short journey away at our Exeter practice.

What Is a Private GP Consultation?

A private GP consultation is a one-to-one appointment with a private general practitioner. At Mayfield Clinic Sidmouth (service delivered from our Exeter location), you meet with a qualified doctor at a convenient time. Unlike traditional NHS GP appointments, our consultations are typically 30 minutes, giving you time for a comprehensive discussion about your health. Longer appointments are available if you wish.

"Patients in Sidmouth can now enjoy same-day private GP consultations in Exeter, ensuring their health concerns are addressed promptly and thoroughly."
