Finding a private GP

My DS 22 has health anxiety I think and visited our GP who said he would order some tests and despite being chased by DS they haven’t come through. He has a long list of health concerns and his mood and everything has changed recently and when. Asked he says it’s because GP doing nothing and he’s worried DH thinks best way to put his mind at ease is for him to see private GP who can hopefully put his mind at rest. I dont think anything major going on and all things seem like little niggles and I think of more likely health anxiety / health ocd/ hyperchondria Hope this will rule out physical problems and then we can him get some counselling if required.
I can of course google private Gp but wonder of anyone has used a nationwide company - we’re in London.

If you have medical insurance they should be able to direct you to some providers.

What tests does he want to have, it would be very expensive to have them privately, a one off GP visit will just be a chat and an assessment. Whereabouts in london are you based, we've always gone via Nuffield but it was for a specific diagnosis issue. Have you set yourselves a financial budget, what's worrying him the most.

Your local private hospital will have a GP service
