About Lantern Clinic
Where Modern Medicine Meets True Personal Care
At Lantern Clinic, we believe healthcare should be more than symptom management, it should help you understand your body, restore balance, and feel well again.
Our doctor-led team brings together trusted medical training, Functional and Integrative Medicine, and compassionate, personalised care to uncover what’s really driving your symptoms and guide you toward lasting health.
Our Story
Founded by Doctors Who Wanted Healthcare to Feel Human Again
Lantern Clinic was created by husband-and-wife doctors Dr Margarita Kitova-John and Dr Oommen John, local residents who wanted to bring a new kind of medical care to the South Coast.
After more than a decade working as front-line GPs, we saw how many people were left without answers, struggling with fatigue, hormonal changes, gut issues, or chronic conditions that weren’t improving with standard approaches.
We built Lantern Clinic to change that: a calm, welcoming space on the outskirts of Cowes, designed to bring back time, connection, and curiosity to modern medicine.
“We wanted to create a clinic where patients feel truly heard and where care is personal, thorough, and empowering.”
At The Lantern Clinic, everything we do comes from a place of passion and purpose.
Our approach to healthcare centres on partnership, working together with you to uncover root causes and create clear pathways to optimal health. We combine decades of medical expertise with advanced diagnostic testing to provide truly personalised care.

Future Focused Medicine
Proactive healthcare, focused on recovery from illness, health optimisation and longevity, rather than symptom management.
Our Approach
Restoring Balance Through Functional Medicine
Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, we look at how your genetics, gut health, hormones and separate organs are affected by epigenetics resulting in imbalances and diseases.
Using advanced diagnostics from leading laboratories, we build a complete picture of your health and design a clear, evidence-based plan to help you recover and improve your longevity.
We combine the best of conventional medical science with essential functional medicine principals.
