A Private GP Service near you in Edinburgh – news about the enhanced private GP surgery at The Edinburgh Clinic

At The Edinburgh Clinic we pride ourselves on the medical expertise of our practitioners and on providing the very best in care and support. That’s why we’re delighted to welcome two new GPs to the clinic.

We now have four private GPs practicing at the clinic, allowing us to further enhance our services, with more convenient appointment times, and much more chance of getting an appointment within 24 hours, and often a same-day appointment.

Our increased capacity also means that we can offer longer appointments so you don’t feel rushed when you meet our team, and have more time to discuss your needs or concerns in a relaxed environment. While many GPs now can only afford around 10 minutes per patient, our standard consultation lasts 30 minutes, with hour-long appointments also available.

We’re within easy reach of areas like Merchiston, Morningside, Bruntsfield, Craiglockhart and Shandon, and when you visit, you’ll be taken care of by our welcoming team, before meeting with one of our four private GPs:
