About Dr Joshua Kovoor

Dr Joshua Kovoor is a London-based GP and Sleep Specialist. His unique 'swiss-army-knife' approach uses his triple-field expertise in sleep medicine, general medicine and lifestyle medicine as well as being the Lead Sleep Physician for WellFounded, a international performance medicine clinic based in the UK & USA. 

Dr Kovoor uses his combined expertise to co-create a highly individualised plan for Sleep and Health according to each person's unique needs and circumstances - ultimately aiming for sustained improvement in sleep quality and overall wellbeing over the long term. 

He is recognised as one of the first and only GPs in the UK with formal NHS training and certification in sleep medicine, offering a unique holistic approach to diagnosing and managing sleep disorders alongside other issues like anxiety, chronic pain, as well as men's health issues and pregnancy/menopause-related sleep disturbances.


Dr Kovoor specialises in the assessment and treatment of a wide range of sleep conditions, including insomnia, obstructive sleep apnoea and restless leg syndrome as well as across the range of internationally recognised sleep disorders. His approach focuses on identifying the underlying causes of sleep disturbances and addressing them through tailored, evidence-based strategies. He offers a variety of diagnostic options, including home-based sleep studies, allowing patients to undergo assessment in a comfortable and convenient setting.

Having worked both as a GP and Emergency Medicine Fellow at University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Dr Kovoor subsequently joined the Insomnia and Behavioural Sleep Medicine team at the UK's largest Insomnia Unit (Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine, University College London Hospital Foundation Trust). He completed his GP training in North Central London under the renowned Whittington Health vocational training scheme. He has had a varied career including  working in South Wales and Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

Dr Kavoor, always takes time to explain his reasoning and diagnosis, explores possible medications, and tweaks them on review if necessary. He listens to your concerns and reassures, he doesnt just dismiss symptoms like a lot of doctors; he explores every avenue, before coming to a diagnosis. He is an excellent doctor.

I have never felt so immediately understood before, the expertise around sleep and mental health were exactly what I'd been trying to articulate but unable to for so long, and Dr Kavoors ability to pin point exactly what I needed and explain to me why was truly uplifting for me in a really dark time.

I have had sleep disorder issues for many years, After I spoke to Dr Kovoor about the pain I was having with my rheumatoid arthritis he addressed the issues I was also having with my sleep. It was a relief to finally have someone who took my other issues seriously; namely insomnia and Obstructive Sleep Apnea. I wasn’t even aware of these sleep disorders and just thought it was something I had to live with. I believe that Dr Kovoor’s unique background and knowledge in Sleep disorders is the reason my issues were addressed and are being treated. I have always felt ‘seen’ and listened to by Dr Kovoor which obviously builds trust. I am grateful for his expertise and his continued commitment to my health.

My father and I have both been seeing Dr Kavoor for a couple of years now . He is an absolutely brilliant GP. Diligent, Thorough and attentive. I feel that we are in good and capable hands. Dr Kavoor is very good clinically and also has excellent communication skills. He often goes above and beyond. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is by far the best GP we have ever had.

Dr Kovoor has really helped me with the sleep issues I've been experiencing. He took the time originally to listen to my concerns about previous medication that wasn't working for me and the impact it was having on my sleep, recommended a course of treatment that has been incredibly helpful, and has now given me a clear plan to taper back off

Dr Kovoor has been helping me with my insomnia and he has been really helpful and kind throughout. He’s taken extra time and care to go further into the issues I’ve been having and genuinely try to help, rather than just coming up with a quick fix and sending me on my way. He articulates his reasonings and suggestions clearly so that I understand the process every step of the way and am not left wondering what is going on with my care.

I just wanted to leave positive feedback for the doctor who saw me today in A&E/Urgent Care. He was calm, thorough and reassuring, and took the time to properly listen to my concerns without making me feel dismissed or rushed. I came in quite anxious about my breathing symptoms and left feeling much clearer and more confident about the treatment plan. I really appreciated the professionalism and kindness shown during the appointment.
