GP Services

Staying healthy in today’s fast-paced world is challenging. Many people struggle with persistent health issues yet when they seek help, they often find a medical system that’s overstretched, reactive rather than proactive and focused on symptom management rather than root causes.

I believe healthcare can be done better.

Who am I?

My name is Dr Matt Dennison and I live in beautiful East Devon with my wife, three children, a dog and a cat. I love paddleboarding, surfing and exploring Devon’s stunning landscapes.

Early in my GP career, I realised I wanted to go beyond simply treating symptoms with medications - I wanted to understand why my patients were unwell and what could be done to truly help them. Today, alongside my role in urgent care with the Devon NHS out-of-hours service, I’ve founded About You Medical - a practice built on personalised, root-cause-focused medicine.

Why Choose ‘About You Medical’?

About You Medical not only offers this forward-thinking, whole-person approach to health, but also provides rapid access to an expert, compassionate GP for those occasions when timely medical care is required. 

For more complicated health challenges, my approach goes beyond surface-level analysis. Instead of treating conditions in isolation, Functional Medicine is a clinical framework for thinking about the body and mind as one complex, connected system. Using advanced testing when needed, I seek to understand how your genetics, nutrition, lifestyle, environmental exposures, gut microbiome and biochemistry interact. This can help uncover the deeper factors driving your symptoms.

But data alone isn’t enough. Meaningful progress comes from partnership. That’s why, in addition to standard GP consultations, I offer 3–6 month programmes so there is the time to listen, understand and build a strategy tailored to your unique needs - one that’s evidence-based, deeply personalised and fits your life.

Is This the Right Approach for You?

 

If you’ve ever felt frustrated by:

 

• Symptoms that don’t seem to have a clear cause

• A revolving door of medications without lasting improvement

• Health concerns being dismissed as “just part of getting older”

• Wanting to optimise your health but not knowing where to turn

 

…it might be time for a new approach.

 

Whether you need rapid access to a caring GP, help solving a complex health puzzle, or want to take proactive steps towards optimal well-being and longevity, I’d love to help.
