Counselling service
At Kingston Private Health, we offer weekend, face-to-face GP appointments with experienced professionals. We provide thorough examinations, clear plans for investigation and treatment, and in-house specialist referrals within our private consultant team.
We understand that people have family and work commitments, or may just be looking for regular high-quality care, so our private doctors can provide appointments at a time that is convenient to you. We also appreciate the value of time and not feeling rushed during your doctor’s visit. That’s why we offer consultations of varying lengths, whether for quick concerns or more in-depth discussions about your health.
During any appointment, you will have the opportunity to discuss your concerns with a doctor, undergo a thorough physical examination and will be provided with a clear and concise plan for investigation, treatment, follow up and if needed onward referral to one of our consultants. This will all be done in a confidential and relaxed environment and if you need a follow-up appointment, we will be happy to book this with the same practitioner if this is your wish.
Our private GPs from VR Private Clinics in Guildford, offer private GP services to patients from within Kingston upon Thames and neighbouring towns in Surrey and the nearby boroughs of London, who need fast access to high-quality diagnostics and treatment. Each GP has more than 10 years’ medical experience and they are fully registered with the General Medical Council.

- Set within Kingston Hospital, services are offered with a fully equipped hospital allowing fast access to specialised diagnostics like blood tests, x-rays and scans.
