First-of-its-kind clinic opens in Edinburgh

A new private healthcare clinic has opened in Edinburgh offering faster access to GP services alongside preventative healthcare and aesthetic treatments.

Evergreen Medical & Wellness Clinic has launched in Morningside, introducing an integrated model that combines private GP services, diagnostics, preventative medicine and advanced aesthetic treatments under one roof.

Founded by experienced general practitioners Dr Rachel Weir and Dr Simon Smail, who both trained at Edinburgh Medical School, the clinic is located at 90 Morningside Road and has been designed to provide patients with flexible access to clinicians and longer, more personalised consultations.

The facility brings together a range of services including private GP appointments, preventative health assessments and early disease detection, alongside cardiovascular and metabolic risk screening and menopause care.

Specialist services such as contraception procedures, minor surgical treatments and a doctor-led weight management programme are also available, alongside aesthetic medicine treatments including anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers and advanced skincare.

Dr Weir and Dr Smail say they established Evergreen to respond to growing demand for personalised private healthcare that complements existing NHS provision, offering patients an additional route to access timely medical support and preventative care in the city.

Dr Weir said: “Evergreen has been a decade in the making. 

“We saw an opportunity to offer a more joined-up experience, from menopause and mental health to everyday primary care, that sits alongside the excellent work already being done in NHS general practice. 

“For some people, having the option of longer appointments or more flexible access at certain points in their lives can make a real difference.”

Co-founder Dr Smail added: “At Evergreen, we’ve paired the relaxed, thoughtfully designed surroundings of a boutique hotel with the professionalism and safety of a regulated medical practice. 

“Our goal is to provide accessible, continuous care that treats the whole person, whether that’s nutrition, lifestyle, stress, or medical treatment, and, wherever possible, to work collaboratively with our patients’ NHS GPs so care feels seamless rather than fragmented.”
