MEET THE FOUNDER
Dr Daniel Gordon, Private GP and Founder of DGA Health
Dr Daniel Gordon is a top-rated London private GP, the founder of DGA Health and host of The Health Perspective. His approach to care grew from his own experience of changing his health. He believes that with the right support, people are capable of meaningful, lasting change to their health and wellbeing.
Led by Dr Daniel Gordon
Dr Daniel Gordon is widely recognised as one of the leading private GPs in London. Patients and colleagues consistently rate him highly for his thoughtful care, his problem-solving approach, and his ability to help people connect the deeper aspects of their health, including the complex relationship between physical and mental health. He founded DGA Health in 2022 to offer a different kind of general practice: unhurried, built on long-term relationships, and centred on the whole person rather than the single problem.
A Truly Personal Approach to Health
Daniel’s interest in wellbeing and longevity is personal. After a period of stress in his early 30s, he made lasting changes to his own life: regular exercise, healthier eating, and a deliberate focus on psychology and mindfulness.
That experience of change shapes how he works with patients today, and underpins his conviction that people are capable of meaningful, sustained change with the right conditions and professional support.
He stands firmly against the kind of wellness advice that promises a single solution, instead recognising that whilst our genes represent the hand of cards we are dealt in life, our lifestyle and psychology are how we choose to play them. Dr Gordon understands that real change rarely comes from a supplement, a single test or the latest trend. It comes from understanding yourself properly, and making steady changes you can sustain over time.
“We cannot change the cards we are dealt, but we have far more influence over the outcome than most people realise.”

A Unique Philosophy
Dr Gordon has developed a highly respected philosophy of care, rooted in his diverse medical training background and developed through thousands of hours of consultations with his patients.
Whole-person care. He takes a holistic approach to health, recognising the part that lifestyle, psychology and genetics play in health and disease, and working with each patient to achieve the best outcome for them.
Continuity. He believes deeply in long-term relationships between patient and doctor. Over time they build trust, a real understanding of how each person relates to their own health, and the ability to notice small changes before they become big problems.
Time to listen. Good medicine takes time. Patients often remark that he listens to the whole story, reads their reports properly and never makes them feel rushed. Most diagnoses are made by listening carefully, and the detail that matters most is often the one a patient mentions on the way out of the door.
Mind and body together. He works closely with consultant specialists, psychologists, physical therapists, nursing teams and occupational therapists. He is one of very few private GPs in the UK to offer joint consultations with psychologist and psychotherapist colleagues, for people whose physical and mental health are closely intertwined.
Honest, empowering advice. He sees his role not as giving instructions, but as helping each patient understand what is happening in their body, why it matters and what they can do about it. That means telling people what they need to hear, kindly and clearly, rather than what is easiest to say.
Training and Experience
Daniel studied medicine at University College London, with placements at leading London teaching hospitals, before training in anaesthesia, critical care and pain management. He completed his GP training at the Royal Free Hospital in North West London.
He went on to work across A&E, urgent care, walk-in clinics and GP practices serving very different communities, caring for adults and children of all ages with both sudden and long-term conditions. Those years taught him to recognise quickly when something is serious and when it is not: to act fast when it matters, and to reassure with confidence when reassurance is right.
His particular interests include mental health and wellbeing, child health, chronic disease management, and preventive health, screening and longevity. He is also well regarded for his work with teenagers, giving young people the autonomy and respect they need while keeping parents involved and supportive.
Before founding DGA Health, he spent a year in the senior medical leadership team of a fast-growing UK digital health company, overseeing clinical operations and safety for more than 100,000 patients and over 100 GPs. It taught him that reliable care depends on well-designed systems as much as on the doctor in the room, and that lesson has been built into DGA Health from the start.
Qualifications: BSc, MBBS, DCH, MRCGP (2019)
Founding DGA Health
After more than 12 years in healthcare, many of them in private practice, Daniel had become increasingly aware of the need for a service that put customer service first. He founded DGA Health in North West London in January 2022, driven by the value he places on people feeling listened to, valued and respected throughout their care.
The name stands for Dr Gordon & Associates. The logo brings together a heart, for compassion, and a fingerprint, for individuality: a reminder that every patient is different, and that their care should be too.
Since then, he has built a team that shares his vision and values, and DGA Health has quickly become one of the highest-rated private GP clinics in London.
Our Values
-
No one should have to fight for good care
We look after your whole experience, from your first phone call with us to your follow-up, so that getting the care you need always feels straightforward. Excellent medicine is our starting point, but we judge ourselves on our service: whether you feel genuinely heard, looked after and advocated for.
-
Certainty is a form of care
We know that uncertainty causes real anxiety, so we have carefully designed our systems to make sure results, referrals and messages are handled consistently every time, and you are never left waiting and wondering. Those systems free our clinicians and our entire team to devote their time and energy to caring for you.
-
Good enough is not our standard
We hold ourselves to standards that much of healthcare has stopped asking of itself, and every member of the DGA team is committed to continual learning and personal growth. We strive to be leaders in healthcare: the clinic that colleagues point to and specialists trust with their own patients.
-
The family doctor, reimagined
We combine the long-term relationship of traditional general practice with modern diagnostics, preventive healthcare and AI. We believe there is nothing more powerful for your health than a doctor who understands your history, your health risks and your lifestyle, and has the technology to act on that knowledge early.
What Patients Say
The Health Perspective
Daniel is passionate about sharing evidence-based health information, informed by what he sees every day in his consulting room. In January 2025 he launched The Health Perspective, a YouTube channel bringing open and real conversations about health to a wider audience. He has since produced hundreds of hours of content, interviewed some of the most influential names in health and wellbeing, and built a following of tens of thousands across his channels.
He is regularly asked to comment in the mainstream media on health, wellbeing and healthcare leadership.
