What Is a Private GP Consultation in Reading? Explained by Mayfield Clinic

Your health deserves time, focus, and expertise – not a rush against the clock. In Reading, proactive individuals are seeking faster, more personal medical care than ever before. While NHS GP waiting times can extend beyond two weeks, Mayfield Clinic offers a fresh approach: the premium private GP consultation.

What Sets a Private GP Consultation Apart?

Unlike the often hurried appointments with an NHS GP, a private GP consultation at Mayfield Clinic typically lasts at least 30 minutes. This means you won't need to rush, can voice all your health concerns and enjoy in-depth discussion about your symptoms, background, or worries. We offer extended sessions if you need more time, ensuring a thorough, tailored approach.

Our Reading patients, though seen at our tranquil Newbury clinic, can book same-day appointments online with ease.
