Dr Chris Critoph BM MRCP MD (Res)

Consultant Cardiologist
Contact Us

My name is Dr Chris Critoph, and I am a Consultant Cardiologist based in Bournemouth, Dorset. I trained in cardiology at major teaching hospitals in London and Australia, before moving to Dorset in 2015 with my wife and 2 children. Although I am an expert in diagnosing and treating problems affecting the heart, I am a strong advocate for preventative medicine, and believe that many heart issues can be prevented or reduced in risk with optimal lifestyle choices.

I practice evidence-based medicine, and of course medication is important in many heart conditions. In patients who already have a cardiac diagnosis, I believe symptoms and outlook can however also be improved with an approach that focuses on a person’s lifestyle.

I routinely use non-invasive heart scans to assess patients and individualise treatment plans.

I think communication with patients and their families is key, and pride myself on delivering information and recommendations in a way that is easy to understand, and actionable.

I practice what I preach, and outside of the hospital I play golf, tennis, do yoga and go cycling with my family every week, plus HIIT, weight and functional training (which my children are a little too young for at the time of writing but expect they will join me soon!) I am passionate about healthy living and wellness, particularly nutrition (I love cooking!) and
stress management including meditation.

I am one of the very few UK specialists trained in assessing patients with a family history of heart disease and sports cardiology. I run the inherited heart disease service in Dorset, and am clinical lead for heart failure at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital.

I also have a weekly blog and video post via my website, summarising cutting edge cardiovascular and wellness research into short-form content to help people live more heart-healthy lives.

What our clients are saying

Patient
Like many people who seek out Priya’s help, I’d already seen my fair share of consultants. Some have been fantastic and some have been…not so fantastic… in all the different ways a doctor can diminish a patient’s experience, through evident bias, or impatience, or a dismissive manner. Anyone who’s had a complex medical condition for many years will know how intensely frustrating this can be. Refreshing, then, to meet someone as thoughtful, and present, as Priya. In fact, for me, her stand-out quality is how very good of a listener she is. Priya has consistently made me feel heard, and validated. As both an experienced GP and a Functional Medicine practitioner, Priya brings evidence-based medicine to the table, and also treats her patients holistically – and creatively. All of which means I’m getting answers that had thus far eluded me. Her dietary prescriptions and lifestyle advice are simple, actionable and profound. She clearly and patiently explains her thinking, and involves me in the process – which better motivates me to make the changes needed to improve my health. Her approach has made me realise that, if I understand the rationale behind something, I’m much more likely to get on board! I have no hesitation in recommending her to my friends and family (and already have).

I have found Dr Andie Siggers to be an amazing practitioner. She is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, warm, friendly, caring, understanding and extremely thorough. She gets to the nub of a condition and explains what it all means very clearly. I trust her implicitly with my health and well being and look forward to continuing my journey with her. Thank you!

Dr Siggers was amazing from the first time we spoke. She listened and understood me and helped me and suggested new things when I needed them. Would definitely recommend (and already have) Mosaic Medical to everyone. Thank you!

Patient
“I have been treated by Dr Isobel Wilson since last year and have really appreciated her systematic approach when dealing with my multiple and complicated multiple health issues. I have improvements in several areas of my health whilst managing to wean off some drugs with long term health implications. It is so much more rewarding to speak to a doctor who has considered your ongoing health in advance of speaking to you and gives you a plan that you know will truly benefit your overall health. I wish more people could take this approach and I feel very privileged to be in a position to do so.”

Patient
“Dr Isobel Wilson has given me outstanding and sound medical care. I have suffered from intermittent migraines and digestive issues since my 20’s. Now in my 60’s, in the past three years these have occurred near daily. I had consulted neurologists, gastroenterologists, allergists, internists and many other specialists to no avail, other than a prognosis of mast cell activation with no suggestion of management or treatment. Dr Wilson is the first to provide a clear diagnosis of the causes of my condition with detailed tests and the start of effective treatment. I have no hesitation in providing the strongest recommendation of her skill and expertise.”
NC
Patient
“I am delighted to offer my heartfelt endorsement of Dr. Andie Siggers! As a patient under her care for eight months, I initially faced a challenging situation involving Long Covid, SIBO, and IBS. During this period, I also experienced a severe bout of Chicken Pox. Throughout it all, Dr. Siggers attentively listened to my concerns and provided comprehensive guidance and tailored recommendations. Her unwavering support and dedication have brought about a remarkable transformation in my well-being. From struggling and barely coping, I now lead a life without restrictions. Her commitment to her patients’ needs is truly exemplary, and I am immensely grateful for her outstanding care.”

Patient
“I have been delighted by the consultations with both Priya Bhana and Cara Redpath. It was so refreshing to have a doctor spend the time to out the whole picture together of everything that is going wrong in my daughter’s body rather than speaking with specialist in silos. It has helped to put together a full picture of the problems. Working with Cara has been so impressive, the detailed biochemistry that she has explained to my daughter to help her understand where are problems are with her hormones and how it impacts so many other functions, has been fascinatingI highly recommend both of them.”
MP
Patient
“I struggled with chronic fatigue and IBS for over two years. Everywhere I turned for help I just felt misunderstood and hopeless. Thanks to Dr Andie Siggers at Mosaic Medical my life began to change. Together we worked out the best course of action which included advanced testing. We uncovered a problem with my microbiome which we got to work on straight away. Now I am symptom free and can eat all the foods I used to enjoy. I now have the tools to manage my own health, as well as my family’s, which is totally priceless. I can’t thank Mosaic Medical enough”
