Dr Michael Dixon, a prominent name in general practice, recently gained global attention after he was appointed the personal doctor to King Charles III. His medical career began with his education at Oxford University, where he earned a degree in medicine and laid the foundation for his future as a highly respected practitioner. Upon completing his studies at the Oxford University, he pursued a career focused on holistic and integrated medicine. For over 30 years, Dr Dixon has been a general practitioner in Devon, during which he built a reputation for blending conventional medical practices with complementary therapies.

To be appointed the personal physician of Charles III is an endorsement of his practice and alignment with the monarch’s well-documented interest in integrative and alternative medicine. King Charles is a firm believer of homeopathy and holistic health care, and so, in Dr Dixon, he found an appropriate partner. The two first spoke together in the context of their mutual advocacy of complementary medicine which seeks to combine traditional and alternative treatment approaches.

Though, Dr Dixon’s career has not been all smooth sailing as it also has its own controversies. His fervent support and belief in homeopathy has brought him a lot of criticism from the excessive scientific medical providers who consider this method a bunch of nonsense. Homeopathy is a branch that many criticise because it uses the concept of highly diluted substances and brings about treatment which they say is placebo. The discussion became more heated when Dr Dixon started working with King Charles about how appropriate homeopathy advances are at this position.

Dr Dixon’s supporters argue that the doctor with his approach is more wide and incorporates the mental, emotional and spiritual parts of health, which are often neglected by mainstream medicine. He is obsessed with a cause and collaborates with a College of Medicine and Integrated Health where he advocates that patients always come first and patients should be offered more diverse care.

As a physician to King Charles, Dr Dixon is a peculiar mixture of someone with a formal medical education, but moreover having an alternative medicine practitioner’s mindset, therefore it is no surprise that people adore him while others hate him.
