UK doctors that prescribe antivirals?

Messages

I am a US patient moving to the UK who has been extremely lucky in that I have responded to antivirals. I had a consultation with a doctor in London but he wanted to switch me to acyclovir off of valacyclovir. I'm hesitant to do this because acyclovir is less effective.

Are there any UK doctors that prescribe valacyclovir + valganciclovir for ME (or even just one of the two)?

Thank you so much! Do you know his clinic contact information? A google search of his name is distorted by fictional characters and other people with the same name.

Edit: @adamtomlinson, actually I think I found it. It looks like he is available here:
Address: 10 Harley St, Marylebone, London W1G 9PF, UK
Phone: +44 20 7467 8478
