About

My focus is on 'making it better'. I have employed this philosophy in dealing with patients and colleagues across my many roles, locally, regionally, and nationally. The cornerstone is excellent communication and coming to an understanding of how you see your problems and condition. Your treatment and testing plans will be clear and focused on making it better, and even if you don't get there on the first step, you'll have a good understanding of the path to get there.

I specialise in all aspects of cardiac ultrasound, from routine scans of the chest to stress echocardiography and complex congenital, inherited, and valve pathologies. I also perform cardiac and coronary CT scans and support the general cardiology service across the region. I am experienced in all aspects of general cardiology and have a keen interest in heart disease in pregnancy.

I had never met Dr Balerdi prior to my consultation and found him to be outstanding in his ability to engage with me and explain likely issues and outcomes. He was clear in regard to what he intended to do and invited me to ask questions of any concerns I may have had. His method of closure and summing up filled me with confidence. Thank you.

My experience with Dr Balerdi it's always good he is so friendly put you at ease as soon as you meet him with a friendly handshake and a pleasant smile. Then in his office he took me through the procedure that I am going to have step by step explaining everything as he goes along. So you know what to expect and he also explains what could go wrong as well. Mr Keitb H.

Wonderful! Thank you for writing such detailed feedback. It is imperative to first listen, then act accordingly. Without the first, secondary action will be in the wrong direction
