BSc

DFFP

I qualified MBChB from Edinburgh University Medical School in 1979 and I have worked in General Practice since 1984. My special interests in general practice are women and children's health. I believe in offering a holistic approach to health problems as I am aware that not everyone wishes drug treatment for their illness and also that conventional medicine does not have the answer to every ailment. I very much enjoy working with the wide variety of complementary therapists based at Medicalternative and believe that we all have much to learn from each other.

I started my two year post-graduate training in sex therapy in 1984 and have worked in NHS hospital sexual problems clinics since 1989. I lecture on the subject all over the UK mostly to other health professionals. My particular interests in this field are Gender Dysphoria and Erectile Dysfunction though I see patients with every sexual problem, either as couples or singles. I run busy gender clinics both at the New Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh and at Medicalternative and have close working relationships with other professionals in this field in Edinburgh.

My most recently acquired skills are in the field of medical aesthetics. I enjoy the challenge of helping men and women make the most of their appearance with the use of Botox, cosmetic fillers, Epilight for hair removal and photorejuvenation. These techniques are becoming more popular every year and may be particularly helpful for people going through gender reassignment.

Testimonials

“Lyndsey is at the top of her field. I always feel cared for and reassured when I see her. Anyone wishing to appreciate what good quality care in general practice looks like need look no further!"
Jim Eadie, Edinburgh

"Coming from the pharmaceutical industry I knew Lyndsey prior to professionally working along side her. Lyndsey, for me, is the idealised doctor. She is not only highly skilled but also cares deeply about the welfare of her patients and of the levels of service everyone receives at Medicalternative. I’ve personally seen Lyndsey several times and have been happy with each consultation. She is very open towards Complementary Medicine and I’ve referred several of my clients to Lyndsey all of whom have been delighted with the service they received. One has even said that he never wants to see his own GP in a dingy office again."
