What inspired you to become a doctor?
I had been working as a professional actor for five years. At that point my first child was born and I decided it was time to get into a more stable career. By coincidence the very next day I saw a documentary on graduates getting into medicine later in life, and decided fairly quickly that that was the profession for me.
What I Love About Working at The Slimming Clinic
The best thing about working at The Slimming Clinic is the reward of seeing patients a few weeks down the line, when they’ve not just lost weight but often are feeling more alert and have more energy. In some cases patients with pre-diabetes have (through weight loss and simple diet and lifestyle changes) been able to reverse their blood glucose levels. It is a privilege to be a part of such transformations.
Interesting Facts About Me
I can hold my breath for three minutes and forty-two seconds and I play jazz and classical piano.

Hi all,I am very happy with the service I've received yes it was a pain for me to send evidence ie blood pressure video x2 and the other bits but surely that's a good thing that they don't just dish them out.so I ive struggled big time this year with my weight and over eating couldn't get control, ive received my tabs today half strength for 2 weeks then full strength for 2 weeks this is exactly what I needed to get me on the right path,I had my breakfast today then my tab great first day.thankyou
Fantastic experience
Fantastic experience. Special thanks to Nathan, Dr. Richards for the prompt response and thank you to the The Slimming Clinic Team for the swift delivery of my online medication. I completed the online prescription on Friday and I was told that I will get the medication in 2 weeks time however to my lovely surprise, I got them on Wednesday (not even a week). Phentermine helps a lot to loose weight. This is my 3rd time order. Thanks again..The Slimming Clinic Team xx
Exceptional medical support
I’m not someone who usually leaves reviews, however wanted to leave some feedback in relation to the support I have received from Dr Ohio. Facing challenges with weight is never something that is easy to overcome, but Dr Ohio approaches sensitive subjects in a manner that completely puts you at ease. His level of professionalism is not only exceptional, but his ability to connect on a human level sets him apart from other medical professionals. The level of care, compassion and professional expertise I have experienced has been appreciated and invaluable. Thank you.
Great clinic
Used the clinic once before and now coming back. The staff are always kind and professional.
Lydia from the support team was so pleasant, put me at ease and really made sure I was happy and comfortable, explaining everything. Nothing was too much trouble!
Ongoing support and advice from the Slimming Clinic.
I have used the services of the Slimming Clinic in the past and found myself needing them again. A received a call from Sonia, following a ChatBot I completed. Sonia was such a friendly, down to earth lady, easy to chat with and very helpful. She professionally and proficiently answered my original question whilst also booking me a further consultation with the medical team. Sonia is the perfect person for this role.
