Welcome to My Practice
I bring a wealth of clinical experience to my practice, with a unique combination of expertise in four different but related fields - clinical endocrinology, obesity, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia.
My Approach to Patient Care
Widely respected by colleagues and patients, I set up the renowned London Medical clinic in Marylebone, a specialist outpatient centre specialising in diabetes, endocrinology, ophthalmology, pediatrics, obesity, and cardiology with over 80 consultants and over 100,000 registered patients; it is now part of BUPA.
An early champion of the value of an HbA1c, tight glucose control, insulin pumps and glucose sensors, the first prescription of Ozempic and the first teplizumab treatment to delay Type 1 diabetes, I have unique experience to evaluate new treatments and their safety. I am now excited by the challenges of the new GLP1 hormone combinations on the horizon.
I am modern in my approach, putting your health needs first and including you always in decisions about your treatment. I achieve excellent results with an emphasis on education and support.
