Our private surgery is conveniently located opposite Freshfield Station – just down the road from the stunning Formby beach and pinewoods. We offer a mix of evening and morning clinics, as well as home visits, video, phone and WhatsApp consultations: the choice is yours!
We know that your time and money are precious. We will not recommend investigations or treatments that you don’t need. We believe in offering tests and treatments that are more likely to help you than to harm you! If you have symptoms or concerns, or a family history of a particular condition, we will talk to you so we can decide together which tests are appropriate.
So friendly, kind and patient with my elderly mother and in terms of health care, professional, efficient and focused on outcomes.

John was fantastic and helped out in every possible way he could. He is a credit to his profession and I would be happy to see him again in future.

I wish them all the best with this venture. John and Heather are doing this around their NHS work to provide a service for the area. It’s definitely a service our demographic would use and if it frees up some NHS capacity then great!

I feel very proud of a colleague delivering a service that is needed both by patients and the NHS

I can thoroughly recommend this Private Practice from personal experience. Very Professional and very convenient. Having a Private GP Practice is an amazing step forward. They will ease the terrific pressure on the NHS, brought about partly by the Pandemic and it’s aftermath.

Having worked with John for a couple of years in Sandbach, I know he’s a great GP and a lovely person. He was well respected by our patients and well respected by the clinical team as a caring, knowledgeable, hard working doctor. I know John will have set up his services in harmony with the local GP services and as a NHS GP I wish we had some private providers around us as good and as caring as John and Heather. I think there is a role for private practice that runs along side NHS GP and John’s model is perhaps one that might spread.
It was a different world to going to a GP at my surgery IF you can get to see a GP.

Dr Ryan and Dr Cosgrove work extremely hard to ensure that they give the best possible care to their patients. They are careful to explain the treatment that they are recommending and also to give an honest assessment of the health problems that their patients are experiencing.
