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, preventative medicine, men's health, weight loss, and everything in between. His approach is calm, direct, and always focused on what the patient in front of him actually needs.
Every new patient pauses. Some mid-sentence. A brave few ask outright: "Are you the doctor's secretary?"
No — though the confusion is entirely reasonable.
The name Secretary traces back to British colonial India. An ancestor served as secretary — in the formal, administrative sense — to a British general. The title passed down through generations, crossed continents, and eventually arrived in Preston, where Dr Secretary was born.
He went to school here. He trained here. He has watched this city from the inside for his entire life. Opening this clinic was not really a business decision — it was the obvious thing to do. You give back to the place that raised you.
The dedication to service runs in the family. The job description has just improved considerably.
Fully registered with the General Medical Council — the UK's independent regulator for doctors. Dr Secretary maintains full registration with a licence to practise.

CQC Regulated Practice
Three principles run through every appointment.
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.
Appointments are booked on your terms — 15, 30, or 60 minutes, depending on what you need. That is a deliberate choice, not a standard offering. However long you book, that time is yours entirely — 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.
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.
No referral needed. No waiting list. Same-day appointments available where possible.
Mon–Thu 5–8pm · Friday 9am–8pm · Saturday 9am–1pm.
