Dr Anton Bungay

I worked as a physician in the United Kingdom for over twenty years, specializing in gastroenterology in major London teaching hospitals. During that time, I developed a deep understanding of how medical decisions are made, how complex information is communicated, and how challenging it can be for patients to absorb detail when the implications feel serious.

I was educated at Trinity College, University of Cambridge, where I completed both my MA and my medical degree (MB BChir), before undertaking doctoral research at University College London leading to my PhD. I later became a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in London, a senior professional distinction awarded in recognition of experience and contribution to clinical medicine. I am board certified by the Patient Advocate Certification Board, reflecting recognized standards in independent medical advocacy.

Since relocating to New York City, my work has focused on providing independent, senior-level medical perspective outside the treating role. I work with individuals and families seeking experienced, independent medical perspective when decisions feel complex or uncertain.

I have worked on both sides of the consultation and am aware of the gap that can exist between excellent medical care and patient understanding. My approach is calm, analytical, and grounded in respect for each client’s priorities and values.

I do not diagnose or treat. I provide structured medical insight to help clients understand options, prepare for decisions, and engage more confidently with their clinicians.
