Looking for swift, expert medical care in Paignton? You're not alone—waiting times for NHS GP appointments in Devon have climbed by 25% over the past year, leaving many seeking quicker solutions. At Mayfield Clinic, our private GP consultations give you priority access, generous appointment times and direct, personal care—delivered just a short drive away at our Salcombe & Kingsbridge practice.

What Is a Private GP Consultation?

A private GP consultation is a one-to-one appointment with a fully qualified general practitioner, similar to visits at your NHS surgery—but with added benefits and flexibility. Patients from Paignton who book with Mayfield Clinic can discuss any health concerns. Our private doctors offer thorough examinations, immediate advice, and if required, on-the-spot blood tests or referrals. Accessing our services is straightforward and focused entirely on your needs.

Why Choose a Private GP Consultation?

You can schedule a time that fits your calendar and be assured you'll see the same GP for continuity of care. For families or individuals in Paignton, this means building a trusted relationship with your doctor and having the time to ask every question—no rush.
