ABOUT
Clinical Background
I qualified from the Royal Free and University College London medical school in 2006 and completed my postgraduate GP training at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. After working as a GP in the UK, I spent two years practising in Canada before returning to London.
My approach to medicine is holistic. I trained in functional medicine because I believe in treating the whole person — not just the presenting symptom. This means I consider lifestyle, nutrition, hormonal balance, and psychological wellbeing alongside the clinical picture.
At Basuto, I lead a team of GPs and specialists who share this philosophy. We have the time to listen properly, investigate thoroughly, and build a relationship with every patient. That continuity of care — seeing the same doctor who knows your history — makes a real difference to outcomes.
I have particular expertise in women’s health, including menopause and HRT management, PCOS, fertility concerns and sexual health. I also see a significant number of paediatric patients and families.

Patient Reviews
What Our Patients Say
★★★★★
Called at 9am, seen by 11am. The GP spent a full 25 minutes with me, arranged blood tests and a referral. My NHS wait would have been 3 weeks minimum. Worth every penny.
— Tom R.
★★★★★
I needed a sick note urgently for work and couldn’t get an NHS appointment. Basuto saw me same day, the GP was thorough and professional, and I had my note within the hour.
— Claire D.
★★★★★
The difference between 7 minutes at the NHS and 30 minutes here is night and day. The doctor actually listened, examined me properly, and explained everything. I’ve now registered as a member.
