Private GP Appointments Near Farnham
Our clinic provides an accessible option for people looking for a private GP near Farnham without needing to travel into a larger town or city for an appointment.
Based on Alton High Street, we welcome patients from Farnham and the surrounding Surrey and Hampshire areas who want convenient access to private general practice.
Appointments are centred around your individual concern. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, your GP will review your symptoms, relevant medical history and any existing treatment before discussing what should happen next.
This could be advice and treatment following the consultation, further investigation or referral to another healthcare professional.

- Minor illnesses and infections
- Persistent or recurring health concerns
- Men’s and women’s health
- Medication reviews
- General health and wellbeing concerns
- Blood testing
- Routine health checks

If you are unsure whether your concern is suitable for a GP appointment, contact our team and we can help advise you.
Investigating Ongoing or Unexplained Symptoms
Some health concerns are straightforward. Others require further investigation to understand what may be causing them.
If you have been experiencing symptoms that are persistent, recurring or difficult to explain, a private GP appointment allows you to discuss them in detail.
Your GP can consider your symptoms alongside your medical history, medications and other relevant factors before deciding whether further investigation would be useful.
Where clinically appropriate, this may include blood tests, diagnostic investigations or referral to a specialist.
The aim is not to carry out unnecessary testing, but to establish a sensible next step based on your individual circumstances.
Private Blood Tests and Health Checks
You may also choose to see a private GP when you are not currently experiencing a particular illness.
General health checks can be useful if you want to better understand aspects of your current health or discuss potential risk factors with a doctor.
Blood tests may also be arranged where appropriate. Depending on the reason for testing, these can investigate areas such as cholesterol, blood glucose, thyroid function, vitamin levels and other health markers.
Your GP will discuss which investigations are relevant to you and explain what your results mean.
Medication Reviews and Second Opinions
Medication can sometimes need reviewing, particularly if your circumstances have changed, you are experiencing possible side effects or you have questions about an existing prescription.
A private GP consultation provides time to review your current medication alongside your wider medical history.
You can also make an appointment if you would like another medical opinion about an existing health concern. Your GP can review the information available, discuss your symptoms and explain whether further investigation or specialist assessment may be appropriate.
Access to Specialist Referrals
If your GP believes you would benefit from seeing a specialist, a private referral can be arranged.
This can help you move from an initial GP consultation to the appropriate consultant or diagnostic service without having to determine which specialist you need yourself.
Where appropriate, relevant information from your consultation can be included with the referral to provide the specialist with useful clinical background.
How Much Is a Private GP Appointment?
A private GP consultation costs £130 at Alton Pain Clinic.
Any additional services, such as blood tests or further investigations, may have separate fees depending on what is required. These can be discussed with you before proceeding.
You do not need to leave your existing NHS GP practice to use our service. Private GP appointments can simply be used alongside your usual NHS healthcare whenever you want another option for accessing medical advice.
