What Is a Private GP Consultation? Your Guide for Teignmouth Residents

Finding fast, personal medical care is now more important than ever. For those living in Teignmouth, the search for prompt, dedicated GP services might feel like a challenge—especially when waiting for NHS appointments can stretch on for weeks. But there is an alternative just a short journey away in Exeter.

Private GP Consultation Explained: What to Expect

A private GP consultation offers everything you would expect from an NHS GP—experienced doctors, thorough examinations and confidential advice—but with extra time and flexibility built in. At Mayfield Clinic, our standard Exeter appointments last 30 minutes, twice as long as a typical NHS slot. This gives you the chance to explore all health concerns and ask every question on your mind, whether you’re worried about a new symptom, managing ongoing conditions, or seeking a second opinion.

How Are Private GP Consultations Different?

For Teignmouth patients, choosing a private doctor means:

• Fast, flexible access—same-day and next-day bookings are usually available.
• Continuity of care—see the same GP each time to build trust and familiarity.
• Complete discretion—your health records are securely managed by us, and only shared with your permission.

Many patients who live in Teignmouth choose Mayfield Clinic in Exeter for our comprehensive, premium GP consultations. Plus, you can use our online system to book appointments instantly, or—if you’re a Member—reserve your spot via direct phone or WhatsApp line.
