About Wessex Cardiology
Wessex Cardiology is a private cardiology service operating in the South of England. They have a wide reach, covering Hampshire (including Southampton, New Forest, Lymington, Romsey, and Winchester), Isle of Wight, Wiltshire, Dorset, Channel Islands, and beyond. The service has been renowned for its comprehensive cardiac care since 1994 and boasts a team of consultants with national and international recognition, including the presidency of the British Cardiovascular Society. The service offers a range of general and specialist knowledge in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
Their consultant Cardiologists are experts in various areas of cardiology, including General Cardiology, Palpitations, Valve Disease, and Coronary Artery Disease. Patients can book appointments on any day from Monday to Friday and can expect to receive one-to-one consultations with the consultant in a comfortable outpatient setting. The consultants take their time to explain the diagnosis and treatment plan to patients, and subsequent tests can be arranged to suit the patient's schedule.
The service offers non-invasive and invasive tests to diagnose heart conditions. Non-invasive tests include heart tracings, ultrasound studies of the heart, CT scans, MRI scans, and nuclear perfusion scans. Invasive tests involve passing tubes up to the heart to study it in more detail, such as angiography.
If necessary, treatment usually involves personalized medication and lifestyle advice. In some cases, more complex treatments like stents, pacemaker insertion, or surgery may be required. The service is equipped to perform stents and pacemakers, but they will refer patients to experts for other procedures such as ablation for an electrical disorder. If open-heart surgery is needed, the service will refer patients to one of their trusted local surgeons.

AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Patients describe Wessex Cardiology staff and clinicians as friendly. They give clear explanations during appointments and make patients feel at ease, especially for tests like ECGs and echocardiograms. Reviews show excellent and efficient service, with visits often running on time. Many people visit for heart problems like palpitations or other cardiac issues.
All very good. I was a little surprised to see that the Wessex Cardiology office has been relocated away from its previously very convenient (for me) loctation next door to the echocardiogram room. I rate Wessex Cardiology and its team as 'first class'.
Recently wanted an MOT to check that my heart was all fine due to having a HA at a young age. I had an ECG and a Stress Echogram procedure prior to my consultation with Mr Wilkinson. I requested to see Mr Wilkinson, as it was him who performed emergency stent procedures on me 14 years ago, and it was really great to see him again after all these years. Mr Wilkinson is top of his field and a very lovely guy. The nurse who performed my tests was really professional and friendly and very helpful. My consultation went very well and put my mind at ease. I went private as I wanted some Piece of mind and the NHS only deal with reactive situations (IE heart attack) and are not interested in supporting people years after treatments unless you have a serious issue. I can 100% recommend anyone looking to book private consultation / tests via Spite hospital. I only have one major gripe… they no longer, and for some time do not take a credit card payment (no longer use a card machine) the reasons were explained, as you can only do a BACS transfer now. I find this very unhelpful and this should be reinstated. If you have lots of spare cash around to complicate then this will not be a problem for you, but for people who use this service and it’s an extra expense, it’s more difficult. I would use Spite more if a credit card service was available.
Hi Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm glad you found the consultation helpful and this has put your mind at rest. Unfortunately, we have undergone a verification process with Worldpay, which has taken over 12 months, which meant we couldn't accept card payments. However, we can now accept card payments via Stripe, but I do apologise that this was not available to you at the time of your consultation.
The team are always helpful
