Functional medicine

Medicine has advanced rapidly in recent years, with growing recognition of the need for a holistic approach to patient care. Functional medicine seeks to understand why illness develops, focusing on the underlying causes rather than simply addressing symptoms. By considering each person’s genetic profile, lifestyle, and environment, it provides a truly personalised, patient-centred path to restoring and sustaining health.

While conventional medicine excels at managing acute disease, functional medicine complements it by actively promoting health and resilience. Together, they form the foundation of truly optimal care.

As the first and only interventional cardiologist in the UK and Europe formally trained in functional medicine, I integrate the precision of cutting-edge cardiology with a comprehensive, whole-person approach that addresses not only the heart but every aspect of your wellbeing whether you are based in the UK or anywhere else in the world. I look forward meeting you.

I studied medicine at the University of Erlangen in Germany, founded in 1743, where I also completed a scientific doctorate in brain research. In 1997, I moved to England to complete my junior doctor training, achieving a first-class pass in the highly regarded Membership of the Royal College of Physicians examination.

My specialist cardiology training began in 2000 in Maastricht under Professor Hein Wellens, a pioneer in arrhythmia care, giving me world-class experience in complex rhythm management. In 2004, I joined Leeds General Infirmary—the UK’s busiest interventional cardiology centre—where I gained further expertise in high-volume procedures. I then undertook an international fellowship at the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris under Professor Montalescot, a global leader in acute coronary syndromes, followed by a substantive post at the University Hospital Nijmegen, consolidating my experience as a full-time interventional cardiologist.

I returned to the UK in 2010 as consultant at East Kent Hospitals University Foundation Trust, serving Margate, Canterbury, and Ashford performing the first primary angioplasty for an acute heart attack in Kent and helped establishing this award-winning service. Alongside my clinical work established the William Harvey Hospital as a Centre participating in international cardiovascular trials.

Beyond interventional cardiology, I have trained extensively in functional medicine. I am the only interventional cardiologist in the UK and Europe with formal training in this field. This unique background allows me to combine advanced cardiology with a personalised, integrative approach that considers genetics, lifestyle, and environment.

I speak fluent German, Dutch, and English, and patients travel to see me from across the UK and abroad.

My goal is to deliver personalised, evidence-based care to the highest standards of modern medicine.
