Dr Sanjay is a a Consultant Cardiologist, with specialist interest in Cardiac Imaging, at York Teaching Hospital in York, UK.

He is currently working as a full time cardiologist, which includes two busy cardiology outpatient clinics per week, coronary care ward rounds and ward based in-patient responsibilities.

Having spent almost 28 years in Medicine, Sanjay has come to the following conclusions:

Healthcare rarely ever provides healthcare. Instead it provides disease management by using expensive and potentially harmful pills to mask symptoms

People come to see doctors to be engaged, educated and empowered rather than being given a set of pills before being shown the door.

Lifestyle management is perhaps the single most effective therapy in medicine and yet largely ignored because it is boring and not as profitable as promoting the newest and often most expensive tablets.

High quality reliable jargon-free information about health should be available at no cost to everyone in the world. Unfortunately many people rely on google to answer their questions and are often left confused and anxious because of the unreliability and variability of the quality of information

Dr Sanjay wants to do things differently.
