Dr Margarita Kitova is a kind, caring and supportive doctor. I first met her after another cancer diagnosis and she was a breath of fresh air. I felt safe in her care and she is my source of inspiration. She listens and never rushes me during a consultation. I have the continuity of care that I was hoping for and deserved. She looks at the whole person and in a holistic way alongside necessary conventional medicine. She has empowered me to have some control of my health. I would strongly recommend her! 😊

Finding the Lantern Clinic has literally changed my life. After a challenging cancer battle 3 years ago, I was left with stomach problems that really affected my day to day life. Despite various trips back and forth to the doctor, I never got an answer or solution to my issues and was told this was my ‘new life’ and I was lucky to be alive.nA friend had recommended Dr Margarita at the Lantern Clinic and as a last resort I got in touch. I had never considered functional medicine before and if I’m honest was skeptical. From the very first meeting with Dr Margarita, I could see how interested she was in helping. She took the most thorough history of my health I think I have ever had, looking at my diet, lifestyle, medical history. She devised a protocol of supplements that I thought were strange to say the least, but I trusted the process and gave it my all. At first, taking so many tablets a day was scary, and I really didn’t have much faith that tablets like oregano and berberine etc. would do anything, but within 2 months my symptoms that had plagued me for years, had slowly subsided. Margarita also recommended a gluten free diet which has reduced my bloated stomach, returned my dry skin back to what it was pre cancer, and helped me lose weight. I am now on a maintenance plan and am looking forward to improving my overall health further. What a breath of fresh air to finally talk to one person who has the experience of being a GP but looks at each person as an individual and who supports you through every stage of the changes you need to make, both holistically and medically.

Dr Margarita made me feel so relived to be able to talk about my health issues, feel I know I am in good hands. At all times she is very caring and understanding, with a wealth of knowledge she is eager share to enable me to be understand my body to live a healthier life style, you can read about starting a healthy life style but nothing is like one to one care that Dr Margarita offers.

The Lantern ClinicnnI consider myself extremely fortunate to have found Dr. Margarita Kitova-John. For many years, I have struggled with a chronic health condition, and unfortunately, I have been consistently let down by our NHS professionals.nnIt is incredibly refreshing to engage in thoughtful, in-depth discussions about my health—where all aspects, including diet, lifestyle, and natural supplements, are carefully considered. This level of attention is something that is simply not possible within the constraints of a typical 10-minute NHS GP or consultant appointment.nnIf you are facing challenges with your health and are seeking real solutions, I highly recommend speaking with Dr. Margarita.

The Lantern Clinic (Dr Kitova-John) is in the Phoenix Centre. A recent face to face session here I found a comfortable and useful experience as we were able to easily discuss my needs in a pleasant quiet environment. Her skills at helping me with my requirements as a patient combined with the depth of knowledge she has, give confidence and practical help.
