You deserve a doctor who has the time to really listen.
Dr Stavy offers functional medicine, private GP care and complementary approaches. She considers your symptoms, medical history and day-to-day life alongside any care you receive from your NHS GP.
“A consultation should make room for the whole story.”
Dr Stavy, GMC 6092503I understand
You may have already seen several doctors, been told your blood tests are normal, or been advised that stress could be involved.
Feeling unwell when tests look reassuring is not the same as having nothing wrong. It means the next step should be thoughtful: review what has been checked, look for important gaps and avoid testing for testing’s sake.
Functional medicine is a way of assessing symptoms by looking at how they have changed over time, alongside factors such as diet, sleep and medicines. If you have persistent bloating, for example, Dr Stavy may ask whether it changes after meals and review any tests you’ve already had. Together you can decide whether further investigation would be useful.

A useful starting point
Fatigue can have medical, sleep-related, psychological, medicine-related and lifestyle contributors. The first step is a structured review of the pattern, previous results and any red flags, without assuming one hidden cause.

A useful starting point
Bloating, bowel changes, reflux and food concerns can have many causes. A careful history and conventional medical assessment come first, with targeted testing only when it is likely to change the plan.

A little about me
I became a doctor to help people feel better, and I never let go of that.
I qualified in conventional medicine and have spent 20 years in practice. Along the way I learned something simple: people receive better care when somebody takes time to hear the whole story.
Tests only help when they answer a useful question. Treatment should have a clear reason. And when conventional care is the right route, that remains part of the plan.
This is a personal medical practice. You see one doctor, your history stays connected and follow-up is built around what happens next.
What to expect
Discuss the next step, its purpose and any additional costs before you decide.
Not just your symptoms. Your history, previous results, medicines, nutrition, sleep, stress and what matters to you.
Where clinically useful, we consider targeted investigations rather than a blanket panel of tests.
Written in plain language, with realistic priorities and follow-up around what changes first.

Lifestyle medicine looks at how habits such as sleep, eating and physical activity affect your health. If tiredness is your main concern, for example, Dr Stavy may ask about shift work or broken sleep alongside your symptoms, medicines and recent blood results.
Bring any recent test results you have. Dr Stavy reviews them with your medical history before suggesting further functional testing. You can ask what a test would change about your care and what it costs. Laboratory tests are charged separately.
A nutritional therapy consultation focuses on what you eat and what you want help with. Personalised nutrition means tailoring advice to you, including your health needs, budget and the meals you usually eat. Ask who would provide your appointment when you enquire.
