Ivor French

Director of Strategy & CEO

Ivor founded The Medical Chambers Kensington in 2008 along with his wife, Isabelle, and his business partner David Coleman. After experiencing poor care as a patient at another private clinic – where the doctor was very late and the clinic did not try to manage his expectations – Ivor spotted a gap in the market for a clinic that not only offered world-class medical care, but also transparency around costs and treatment options.

Today, Ivor and his team are proud to consistently deliver outstanding care alongside an exceptional patient experience. Both his team and patients feel genuinely cared for, and as a result patients have become ambassadors for the clinic.

Before entering the world of private healthcare, Ivor worked for over 30 years with David Coleman as a Chartered Surveyor specialising in commercial property. Together, they acquired tired commercial properties with partners and transformed them into successful ventures – a business that remains highly successful today.

Ivor's personal interest in creating a better experience for private healthcare patients presented a new challenge. His extensive business experience placed him in the ideal position to build a team defined by expertise, dedication to outstanding patient care, and medical excellence.

“I founded the clinic because, from a patient perspective, I knew private healthcare could be vastly improved. Having been in business with David Coleman for over three decades, I knew we had the foundations to build something really special. I look forward to many more years working with him, although I’m not entirely sure how David feels about that..."

Ivor understands that a patient’s experience begins from the very first point of contact, and that consistently great care will be reflected in positive feedback. He is always keen to hear about patients’ experiences and listens carefully to feedback, addressing any areas that might need improvement.
