Meet the team

Born at St Thomas’ Hospital, only a stone’s throw from Harley Street, I am a true Londoner. I initially studied at St George’s Hospital Medical School in Tooting and completed my medical training at St. Bart’s and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry. I rotated through many different specialities throughout my training and have gained a wealth of knowledge of most specialities. I have a particular interest in Sports Medicine and injuries and pre-hospital medicine and have in the past been a medical officer at Lydden Hill and Brands Hatch Motor Racing Circuits. I have previously worked in Emergency Medicine (Accident and Emergency) for almost a year and as an out-of-hours doctor, and I can deal with most medical problems and situations including emergencies as I have completed my Advanced Life Support (ALS) and Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) programmes.

I have a passion for helping all my patients achieve their best health potential. I enjoy being able to help my patients with their healthcare needs and provide continuity of care to my patients by building long-term relationships. As a result, I have gained the trust of celebrities, high-net-wealth individuals, captains of industry, and sports personalities as I always ensure that discretion and confidentiality remain a cornerstone of my private practice. I strive to provide an exceptional level of personalised care for my patients.

I have a true passion for medicine and I have built up my skills working privately and in the NHS for the last 9 years. I continue to work in the NHS as a GP Partner and regularly supervise and train junior doctors in the NHS. I have always had a passion for family medicine and feel privileged to have built up many doctor-patient relationships with patients and their families. I immensely enjoy building partnerships with my patients to enable them to overcome medical issues and pride myself on continuity of care for my patients.

I am passionate about health promotion, aesthetic medicine and anti-ageing and these specialist services can be discovered more at our dedicated clinic www.highlifeclinic.co.uk

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and love travelling, motorsports and water sports.

A pioneering Functional Medicine and Ayurvedic doctor at the heart of London’s Marylebone.

I am Dr Vijay Murthy, engaged in personalised and holistic health care for transformational improvements in the health and wellbeing of my patients.

My approach to healthcare is innovative, tailored to each individual, harnessing evidence-informed practices combined with the wisdom of Ayurveda and Naturopathy evolving from three decades of clinical experience. With clinical and academic qualifications B.Nat, M.Surgery (Ayu), B. Ayu Med & Surgery, MPH, PhD from prestigious universities in India, New Zealand and Australia and as an Institute of Functional Medicine, US —certified functional medicine practitioner, I am fortunate to share my expertise as an Ayurvedic doctor, naturopath and integrative practitioner.

My practice is more than a clinic; it’s a crucible where ancient tradition and modern science are melded to forge a holistic approach to well-being. My commitment to health promotion, research, and education underscores my dedication to the advancement of integrative medicine.

As an academic, author, and dedicated researcher, I am at the helm of a ground-breaking study on women’s use of alternative medicine, which is part of the world’s largest women’s health study from Australia. My scholarly work is featured in numerous peer-reviewed medical journals and my expertise has been acknowledged through various leadership roles, such as Vice President of the Ayurvedic Professional Association in the UK, Clinical Lead for Ayurveda at the College of Medicine, and Chief Scientific Officer for Ayurveda in Health Care, UK. I have also recently taken up the mantle as global scientific advisor for Kama Ayurveda, UK.

I strongly believe in a targeted approach to health and a link between the Mind and Body. I embrace a collaborative approach of working with my patients to discover the complete health picture so I can help my patients develop habits for Health and Vitality.

In seeking balance, I deeply value time spent away from the clinic, embracing moments with family and friends, and the exhilaration of travel and learning music embodying my belief that a full life is a balanced one.
