How Much Does a Private GP Cost in Richmond

Across London, most private GP appointments fall within a similar range. In fact, data from providers such as Bupa, Nuffield Health and London Doctors Clinic shows that standard consultations usually start from £110 and can reach £160 depending on duration and location.

Richmond sits in the upper tier of private care because appointments tend to be longer and more personal. As a result, the area attracts patients who expect time, clarity and fast access to investigations.

As a result, here is how the average compares.

Standard consultation
Twenty to thirty minute appointments across London range between £120 and £160.
At Evergreen Richmond a full thirty minute consultation is £140, which gives space for a complete discussion.

Extended consultation
Clinics in central and west London often charge £180 to £250 for longer appointments.
Evergreen offers forty five minutes for £200, ideal when you have more than one concern.

Phone or video consultation
Prices across London typically range from £60 to £100.
Evergreen offers twenty minutes for £80 with the same GP continuity.

Home visits
Home visits in Richmond usually range from £250 to £400.
Evergreen provides weekday visits at £270 and weekend or bank holiday visits at £370.

The pricing structure is in line with respected private GP providers. However, the difference becomes clear when you look at what is included.

What You Actually Receive for the Price

Private GP care is not only about the appointment length. Instead, it is about the quality of time you get and the immediate support available during the same visit.

More time to talk

A thirty minute consultation gives you space to describe your symptoms properly. Many clinics offer only twenty minutes, which can feel rushed. More time means better understanding and fewer follow up visits.

Clear explanations

You leave knowing what is happening and what to do next. Consequently, this often reduces worry and avoids repeated visits.

On site investigations

Many clinics require separate bookings for blood tests or diagnostics. As a result, at Evergreen Richmond you can complete tests immediately. This saves days of waiting and allows your GP to move quickly.

Everything is explained before you proceed, so you understand each option clearly and there are no surprises.

Why Many Richmond Residents Find Private GP Care Worth the Cost

Private healthcare is often chosen for efficiency and peace of mind rather than comfort. As a result, when you can speak to a doctor on the same day, avoid long waiting times and receive a personalised plan, the entire experience changes.

Here are the benefits that matter most to patients.

Fast access when you are unwell
Longer appointments with time to ask questions
Clear explanations instead of rushed guidance
The ability to complete tests immediately
Quick results and next steps
A calm clinical environment
Continuity with the same doctors
Internal link: GP Consultations

For many people this combination is what truly makes private GP care worth it, especially when life feels busy or symptoms create worry.

How Private GP Care Works with the NHS

Private GP care does not replace the NHS. Instead, it works alongside it. You stay registered with your NHS GP and use private care when you need faster access, more time or more detailed investigations.

Your private GP can share notes and results with your NHS practice if you give consent. Many patients appreciate being able to use both systems without disruption.

Parents who want quick reassurance about a child
