Dr Faizal Secretary

Every appointment, every consultation, every follow-up — it’s always Dr Secretary.

The Beginning

Dr Secretary's Approach

Dr Faizal Secretary is a GMC-registered general practitioner who trained in the United Kingdom and has built his career in primary care. His medical background spans both the NHS and private general practice — an experience that gives him a grounded understanding of what patients need and, equally, of where the system falls short in providing it.

In general practice, breadth matters as much as depth. A GP must be prepared to address almost anything that walks through the door — from a straightforward sore throat to the early signs of something more serious, from a well-worn chronic condition to a new and anxious symptom. Dr Secretary has practised across this full range. He brings to every consultation not only clinical knowledge but the kind of attentive, measured judgement that comes from years of seeing patients of all ages and backgrounds.

He founded My Private Clinic because he believed that private general practice could — and should — offer something fundamentally different from a stretched NHS system: genuine time with a doctor, genuine continuity of care, and genuine transparency about what is happening with your health. The clinic is run on those principles. Appointments are never hurried. Every patient is seen by Dr Secretary himself, and that commitment does not change as the practice grows.

Dr Secretary practises from the Ground Floor of Fatima Health Centre on Garstang Road in Fulwood, Preston. He sees patients of all ages — adults, children, and elderly patients — across the full range of general practice: acute illness, long-term conditions, preventive care, women’s health, men’s health, and everything in between. His approach is calm, direct, and always focused on what the patient in front of him actually needs.

Our Approach

Dr Secretary's Approach

Three principles run through every appointment.

Patient First

Medicine begins with listening. Before a diagnosis, before a plan, before anything else — Dr Secretary listens. He gives you the space to explain what is happening, without hurrying you towards a pre-formed conclusion. The consultation moves at your pace.

Enough Time

Every appointment is 30 minutes. That is a deliberate choice, not a standard offering. It allows for a proper history, a proper examination, a proper conversation, and a proper plan. You will not leave with unanswered questions because there was no time to ask them.

Personal Continuity

Dr Secretary sees you every time. When you return for a follow-up, he remembers your case, your concerns, and your context. He does not need to read the notes from scratch. That continuity is not a convenience — it is what good medicine requires.
