Patient Testimonials

“I have been working with the Lantern Clinic since 2023. Their expertise and support has significantly impacted my personal health journey in the most positive way. They are very thoughtful in the way they address concerns and beyond to the thorough follow-up after appointments.Their holistic approach to treatment has not only addressed my immediate health issues but also provided me with the tools and knowledge to maintain and improve my health in the long term.”

“My son was 14 when we first visited Dr Margarita, he had been suffering from severe digestive issues and despite multiple rounds of treatment from a conventional practitioner the symptoms of nausea, acid reflux and abdominal pain were getting worse. Dr Margarita was extremely thorough and after the initial consultation and testing, she prescribed a regime of herbal medication, combining probiotics and natural antimicrobials. After a few weeks the symptoms lessened and he has been symptom free now for nearly two years.
We had a second consultation last year for anxiety and depression and again, Dr Margarita’s compassionate, thorough approach was outstanding - for the first time ever my son said he felt fully supported and understood and his mental health is now dramatically improved after a range of lifestyle and supplement based recommendations. I would thoroughly recommend this clinic.”

“After 10 years of searching for an answer to an answer to my gut problem, chronic pain and fatigue, I found the answer in Dr Margarita. After being told by the NHS and private consultants that they couldn't find a problem, certainly one which could be fixed surgically, I was beginning to question my sanity! Finding and meeting Dr Margarita was literally the last roll of the dice for me.

From our initial meeting I felt that at last someone was listening to and understanding my problem. A face to face meeting involved an in depth discussion so she could get a better understanding of me, my lifestyle and family history, all relevant to getting the right care. Obviously each individuals tests/care will be different but mine identified some serious gut conditions which the doctor was able to explain to me in layman's terms along with a recommended programme of treatment.

Dr Margarita's friendly, calm and focused manner is both reassuring and motivating. Although only part way through my programme, I feel I am beginning to get my life back and can resume some of the interests I have which I thought I'd lost forever.”
