Services
At Essex Private Doctors our aim is to provide fast and convenient private GP services, for the whole family. We have a team of experienced doctors and surgery administrators meeting the highest possible standards of medical care. The practice is registered and regulated by the Care Quality Commission, the independent regulator of health and social care in England.
I have always found it easy to talk about medical issues with Doctor Athreya. He takes the time to listen and explains everything (symptoms, treatments, etc.) carefully, without instantly reaching for the prescription pad, as some GPs do. I always try to see Dr Athreya as he is easy to talk to and has a caring and efficient manner.
We always try to accommodate urgent requests on the same day, excluding Saturdays when we have pre-booked appointments only. We do not provide a routine 'out of hours' service. If you feel that your problem is urgent and cannot wait until the clinic is next open, we advise that you contact your NHS GP, or call 111, or where appropriate, call 999.
The first time that you contact us, we will ask you to provide some personal information to enable us to open a confidential medical file. We follow strict General Medical Council (GMC) guidance on matters relating to medical confidentiality, so you can rest assured that your records are held securely.
We ask that when you attend your first clinic appointment you complete a health questionnaire detailing medical history, medication and allergies. This will then be held with your confidential medical record. We ask that you keep us updated on any changes to these details. Please call our helpful receptionists who will be happy to help find you a suitable appointment.

I do not often write reviews, but was so impressed by my recent experience of Essex Private Doctors felt that I should. I found the service and treatment offered by Dr Athreya and the team to be excellent. I was able to obtain an appointment in a timely fashion even in these difficult times of lockdown. The face to face appointment with Dr Athreya was conducted in the most professional manner with all precautions regarding infection control in regard covid and the procedure that I underwent, a minor surgical procedure, carried out to what I considered the highest standards. All aspects of the procedure

I received first class professional treatment from Dr Athreya. I had an infected abscess removed from my back. Dr Athreya did an amazing job on my back with perfect precision. He listened, explained and made me feel totally at ease and confident in him. It is a very professional, caring and ethical practice with an excellent team. I wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend Essex Private Doctors.

I have been seeing Kannan for a few years now, and you can always rely on him for a professional and friendly service. He is caring and considerate and makes you feel completely comfortable and at ease, and will always go out of his way to do what he can. I cannot recommend him and the practice enough.

Absoloutly brilliant with my NHS GP I had to wait 3-4 weeks for an appointment and then was in with him for less than 5min. I had stomach problems that went on for three years. Dr Athreya first consultation with me went on for an hour and he resolved the issue in 3 months! I really cannot recommend him highly enough.

It is always reassuring for me to know that when I need to visit Essex Private Doctors I am going to receive a very professional, thorough, caring service, not only from my GP but also the practice staff. Dr Athreya always has time to listen and to explain. I always leave his practice feeling confident with his diagnosis and treatments required.
