I am Dr Fiona Vij and I am The Integrative Medic.
I have been a doctor since 2005 and have worked as an Emergency Department (A&E) Consultant since 2013. I have a broad range of experience in treating adults and children with both acute and chronic diseases and have specialist knowledge in treating the emergency presentations of several diseases and illnesses.
In my NHS role I see many patients who feel disillusioned, and even upset, with the management of their health conditions with conventional Medicine alone. Patients often explain to me that they feel like they have no control over their health and illness and that they cannot get the symptom control they wish for with the treatment they are already on. In short, over the years I have seen many patients who are simply surviving and not thriving.
I have noticed that giving simple lifestyle advice and recommending specific evidence-based holistic therapies, in addition to conventional NHS treatments, has helped patients feel hopeful and empowered about their health and disease.
This is why The Integrative Medic offering was created.
Addressing mind, body, and spirit to optimise health
Tailored solutions for your unique health needs and goals
Extensive experience and expertise in treating a wide variety of illnesses
Evidenced-based, holistic therapies combined with conventional medicine
I now combine my extensive experience as an Emergency Medicine generalist physician with my knowledge of evidence based holistic and lifestyle therapies to achieve health and longevity for my clients and patients.
It is clear to me that that as doctors our focus should be on health and not just disease – because by the time patients come to see doctors like me in the Emergency Department their health is often irreversibly damaged. There is so much that can be done to prevent patients from reaching that point.
My aim is to empower you with knowledge and choices that allow you to achieve optimum (and not average) health through a bespoke, evidence based and multidisciplinary approach that focuses on you as whole.
You are at the centre of the consultation. My role as a doctor is to support you in achieving your health goals.
Feel free to reach out to me, let’s start your journey towards optimal well-being together.
