Private GP for Croydon Patients — Same-Day Appointments Without the Wait

Why Croydon Patients Choose Lambert Medical Practice

Croydon's population of over 380,000 people faces significant pressure on local NHS services, with GP appointments often booked weeks in advance. Whether you need urgent care for an infection, a medical certificate for work, or a thorough health assessment, Lambert Medical Practice provides an accessible solution for private healthcare without the wait.

Located just 25–35 minutes from central Croydon (approximately 8 miles via the A232 and A217), our clinic in Tolworth serves patients from Croydon, South Croydon, Purley, Coulsdon, and surrounding areas. Our CQC-registered practice combines professional medical expertise with the convenience of modern private healthcare, offering same-day appointments that suit your busy schedule.

Unlike rushed NHS consultations where you might get 10 minutes with your GP, our private appointments give you the time you need. Our standard 15-minute consultations allow thorough assessment of single health concerns, while our 30-minute appointments are perfect for complex issues, multiple health problems, or detailed discussions about prevention and wellbeing.
