WEIGHT LOSS GURU! Have been seeing Dr Varathan for about 12 months for heart disease and what he calls 'metabolic syndrome'- i call this being over 40, having had 3 kids and eating too much.... He has helped me immeasurably with diet/exercise advice, has been up to date with medicines and has supported me through the whole process. He has also been mindful of my mental (as well as physical) health. Absolute diamond! JS
