A consultant Rheumatologist and Professor in Sports Medicine, Professor John E Davies leads the NHS FMS Clinic at Guys Hospital, London and has been specifically treating Fibromyalgia Syndrome and Myofascial Pain patients for over a decade at his private clinics in London and Bristol.
Patient Testimonial: Professor Davies turned my life around when I was in despair due to a lack of treatment and support for my severe Fibro. Staying up-to-date with research is a priority for him, something that is a necessity given how fast the face of Fibromyalgia research can change. He genuinely cares about treating patients and has a greater understanding of how Fibro affects patients than any other doctor I have known in the UK. He aims for practical targets of managing Fibro symptoms so that patients can lead relatively normal lives and is quick to respond to patient concerns and flares of symptoms. ~Lindsey Middlemiss, FibroAction Chair 2008
