The best part of Patrick’s professional life is seeing people who may have struggled for years with poor health, begin to ‘really live’ again. He loves working with patients to transform a life of daily health struggle to one which once more has energy, fun and enjoyment in it and feels very privileged to do this work. Frequently people may have suffered quietly for years and almost given up hope: “Then …there sometimes comes the moment in the course of an individual’s treatment programme where they may say something to the effect of: “I don’t want to put a hex on it but I feel as though someone is opening heavy curtains and letting light back in to my life …….that the tide is finally turning after all those years. I now have energy until much later in the day, I am sleeping properly and I wake refreshed. I now can concentrate consistently at work and the brain is working again. I now drive without constantly dreading that I might crash into somebody”

We work co-operatively alongside Dr Patrick McGovern your G.P and/or consultant and blend standard and complementary medicine, ensuring that you receive the benefits of both medical systems. We avoid recommending treatments that may conflict with your prescribed medicines. Hopefully with help from all of us in Drummartin Clinic, good doctor-patient teamwork and you, also, working to help yourself, your life will, once more, be enjoyable and productive. It’s best that your various doctors work together co-operatively for your benefit, and so we think the best thing is to let your GP know that you are also adding in nutritional/functional medicine. Occasionally a patient wishes to keep their relationship with us completely private and requests that we do not communicate with their GP or consultant and, of course, we always respect those wishes.
