About Me

I qualified as a doctor in 1980, and have been an NHS GP for over 35 years. I trained in oncology, cardiology and gastroenterology before specialising in family medicine. I joined my practice in Crouch End in 1989,and retired from NHS General Practice in December 2021.
I was an undergraduate tutor for medical students from University College and Royal Free medical schools, and  a GP trainer for over 20 years.
I developed a community clinic for dermatology and minor surgery in 1997, for  borough wide Haringey patients, and this has been very successful.

I am very excited to be setting up a new clinic devoted to lifestyle medicine as I can see that this adds so much more to patients' lives and health.

This clinic has now opened in Letchworth Pharmacy(see below).

 

As Hippocrates, the Father of medicine said around 480BC, "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food"
