About

Dr. Naydenova is a highly experienced Consultant Physician and Geriatrician. She completed her medical degree in Bulgaria before relocating to Botswana, where she served as a Senior Medical Officer in General Medicine for six years at the largest tertiary referral centre in the capital city of Gaborone. Her international experience exposed her to a wide range of medical challenges and cases.

Afterward, she relocated to London, where she pursued higher medical training in General Internal Medicine and Geriatric Medicine. During her training, she rotated through several hospitals, including the Royal Free Hospital, Basildon Hospital, Queen's Hospital, and Barnet and Chase Farms Hospitals.

In 2014, Dr. Naydenova was appointed as a Consultant at North Middlesex Hospital, where she continues to run a high-volume and busy Medical and Geriatric service. Her role includes overseeing a 24-bed care of the elderly ward, conducting weekly teleconferences with community colleagues from Haringey, providing expert advice and vetting referrals, conducting Day Hospital sessions, and working in the Emergency Department and Frailty Unit to comprehensively assess older adults.

Dr. Naydenova is dedicated to maintaining high standards of care within her specialty. She remains up-to-date with the latest scientific research and key issues in her field. She was elected as a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in September 2018.

One of her notable achievements is her active participation in the award-winning Care Home Assessment Team, an integrated physical and mental health service that has significantly improved the quality of life for care home residents in Enfield.

Dr Naydenova took time to listen to my concerns and her examination seemed very thorough. She was very sympathetic throughout and has arranged a series of tests. At my gp I always felt a bit fobbed off. I would certainly recommend her.

We were so lucky to find Dr. Neydenova. I accompanied my 89 year old mother who presented with a variety of complex health conditions. On a personal level Dr. Neydenova was very supportive and treated my mother with great kindness and care. Professionally, she listened to all our concerns and presented us with a clear treatment plan which addressed each condition, designed to improve my mother’s quality of life. Dr Neydenova answered all our questions and we never felt hurried. Very importantly she always followed up to see how we were doing. Thank you so much Dr. Neydenova.

Explanation

I was introduced to Dr Naydenova as my wife was already a patient and I would accompany her to appointments. I was so impressed that I decided to become a patient myself. Dr Naydenova effectively solved a long standing concern of mine that for years had seemed could not be further improved upon. As it turns out, my concern was not insurmountable but required a particular combination of persistence, knowledge, and creativity that Dr Naydenova was uniquely able to apply. The doctor took the time to understand all the nuances of my concern and to match this up with medication options better tailored to my individual situation. I finally have a medication regimen that works for me and I am confident I would not have achieved this without Dr Naydenova. Like my wife, I feel a huge sense of relief knowing that we have Dr Naydenova as a port of call going forward. Truly an outstanding physician and one that treats you with consideration to your entire health profile and not just the individual problems. I would strongly recommend the doctor to anyone that needs more support with their health, whether to build an ongoing relationship for managing chronic conditions or as an adjunct to their primary care to better gain traction on particular concerns.

Explanation

Dr Naydenova is a fantastic physician and geriatrician. We have built a truly meaningful doctor-patient relationship, the likes of which I thought had been confined to history. Not only is the doctor thorough and knowledgable, she brings a level of dedication and enthusiasm to her work that is wonderful to experience. She also understands that there can be a lot of pertinent history and moving parts when you have multiple chronic health conditions, and that some older patients may need more family involvement than others to convey and process all the relevant information. To that end, it has been an extraordinary help that Dr Naydenova has been happy to coordinate with my son on my behalf as needed. Appointments are a pleasure, never rushed, and I also appreciate how accessible the doctor has been outside of appointments to answer any residual questions and concerns and to coordinate any interim steps. This is a doctor for whom going above and beyond is standard operating procedure. Becoming a patient of Dr Naydenova has really changed my outlook. I have a newfound sense of confidence in my care, and no longer feel lost trying to navigate the medical landscape.
