About Dr Shilpa Dave @ Kirby Medical
Dr. Shilpa Davé is an experienced GP with 20 years of medical practice both in the NHS and private sectors. She holds an MBBS, BSc, MRCGP, and DFSRH. Dr. Davé has a strong interest in Indian tradition and Ayurvedic medicine and discovered Functional Medicine in her search for strategies to manage and overcome her own health challenges.
As a Functional Medicine Practitioner, Dr. Davé aims to use lifestyle factors, nutrition, and overall well-being as treatments for her patients, in combination with the latest conventional medical guidelines. She has a unique insight into delivering bespoke personalized lifestyle medicine to her patients, as her own FM journey helped her with her condition of thyroid underactivity.
Dr. Davé believes that a combined approach is best, where conventional medicine provides a platform for the inclusion of a Functional Medicine approach. She considers exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle to be crucial components of a patient's health journey, and integrating these into a Functional Medicine approach, supported by a team of passionate practitioners, can help patients achieve optimal health, revitalizing their everyday life, work-life balance, and relationships with food, people, and their family.
Dr. Davé is committed to delivering the best medical care to her patients, and the positive feedback received from the 2022 CQC Inspection confirms that she is on the right track to achieve this goal.

Very thorough and very friendly. Would happily see this doctor again.

I went to see Dr Shilpa for the first time in September for some travel vaccinations. Being a little needle-phobic, I was delighted with how she was able to put me at my ease and make me feel comfortable. I was very happy with the whole experience of ordering in the specialist vaccinations; the ease of booking and the overall service. I would recommend Shilpa Davé Health to all prospective patients. I live in Battersea and the journey to Teddington is very easy by train (25 minutes), so I would definitely book at the practice again. Dr Shilpa has also taken care of my wife's health faultlessly for many years now, including diagnosing a very serious, symptom-free cancer that effectively saved my wife's life. She has been a patience since the inception of Shilpa Davé Health in 2018, and we see the whole team as very trusted and expert family GPs.

Dr Shilpa was both understanding and empathetic to the needs, and went out of her way to find a solution that would work. I really do appreciate both the professionalism and dedicated approach.

I used to have trust issues with doctors - especially when it came to my hormonal imbalance as a woman - as they never had enough time for me since a long line is queuing behind me. So they simply prescribed some sort of contraceptive pill and asked me to call in the other patient... However, this was all different with Dr Shilpa, and I'm so grateful I found her after my research for a doctor whom I felt I can trust! As an Ayurvedic yoga therapist, it was important for me to find someone with a holistic perspective, which not only focuses and wishes to eliminate the physical symptoms but looks and observes the mind-body-soul connection as a whole. Just a month before visiting Dr Shilpa, I made some small adjustments to my already conscious diet & lifestyle. So, when I got there, she gave me enough time to tell her everything I wished to share, and we also discussed possible options for supporting my health further. Instead of any artificial medicines, these include observing my diet & lifestyle after my adjustments - which seem to be doing their work already as I feel and Dr Shilpa confirmed this with her background of knowledge - and she also recommended to take a blood test to check my nutrition along with a DUTCH test for my hormones. However, for now, I'm carry on with my conscious vegan diet for the next couple of months, and will probably get back to Dr Shilpa for a check-up after. Since she's a private gp, obviously, I payed more than at a public healthcare institute. However, I made this payment happily as I got what I wished for after years - and what else should we invest in than our own health? I finally felt understood and cared for by a doctor. And now, I have one to trust in giving me guidance in my health if I get a bit lost or confused. :) I'm grateful for Dr Shilpa, and can happily recommend her to everyone! :)

A few weeks back I had a day-2 CPR test done by Dr Davé's surgery and the whole process was professional, efficient and very straightforward. I recently needed a Fit-to-Fly CPR test for travel to South Africa -- and foolishly did not return the form in the package that gets sent to the lab. Dr Davé was amazing and managed to get the form to the lab on my behalf and to get it matched up with my sample -- and saved the day for me. Not only was it a fantastically kind and helpful intervention on my behalf (I made a really dumb mistake, so the mess was 100% my own fault), she kept me posted throughout the process by phone and text. Absolutely wonderful service, well above and beyond the call of duty, and I am hugely indebted to Dr Shilpa Davé and her team. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Dr Shilpa is a talented, kind and dedicated GP who provides a holistic approach to her patients’ health and wellbeing. I consulted Dr Shilpa with a variety of disabling symptoms including menopause, anxiety and burnout. Using the functional DX approach we identified the causes and have taken steps to address them. Two months in I am feeling much better, the symptoms are resolving and I feel empowered and supported to make the necessary changes. Thank you Dr Shilpa.

A positive experience when you really need good medical advice! I approached Dr. Dave in connection with covid testing: Not only was this accomplished with efficiency, but she in addition noticed other issues, took time to manage these - in busy office hours - and did not leave until all matters were taken care of. I was surprised and impressed by Dr Dave's friendly professional approach to (in my case) new patients and would warmly recommend her and her office.
