What patients say

4.7from 55 reviews on Google

I was recommended The Natural Doctor Clinic last year after years of ongoing health issues that I felt were never fully listened to or understood within conventional medicine. … For the first time, I felt truly heard, understood, and given real answers.

★★★★★Laura G. on Google

Dr Jess is SO knowledgeable but very down to earth. Today she shared my blood test findings & talked me through what could be done to help & improve those findings.

★★★★★Liz N. on Google

Dr Jess had thoroughly assessed my whole life health data I had submitted and produced a 'mind map'. … We need more root cause analysis and functional doctors like Dr Jess.

Questions

Who will I speak to on the consultation call?

One of the experienced clinic team, by video. They'll talk through what's going on, explain how it works and, if you'd like to go ahead, arrange your appointments.

What happens to the £15?

It's paid when you book, to secure your call, and it's deducted from your treatment. If you don't turn up, or cancel within 24 hours, it isn't returned.

What does treatment cost?

Your first appointments with Dr Jess are a package of three sessions for £1,025: 45 minutes with Dr Jess, a 45-minute follow-up report with her, and a health coaching session. A £300 deposit secures it and comes off the total.

Tests are only done if recommended, and usually cost £250 to £1,000. Ongoing treatment is discussed at your follow-up, and payment plans are available.

Is Dr Jess a medical doctor?

Yes. She graduated in medicine from St Andrews, worked for 5 years in NHS hospitals and keeps her medical licence and registration. The clinic holds CQC registration, and she's a member of the Independent Doctors Federation.

How soon can I be seen?

Dr Jess takes on a limited number of new patients and is booked ahead, with priority for serious illness. The team will give you the current dates on your call and can add you to the cancellation list.

Do you accept health insurance?

Not directly. You pay at the time, and the clinic gives you a detailed receipt to claim from your insurer.
