I felt the whole team was in my corner and explained all options. A plan evolved and we now await other medical departments coming onboard.
Excellent in every way. I really felt that the Dr took the time to carefully analyse my issue, explain it clearly and determine the best treatment going forward.
Very professional. Listed and described the various treatment options to help make an informed decision. His availability through the patient initiated scheme is good.
I arrived early for my outpatients appointment and was height and weight was done within minutes. I then had an ECG done and was seen by the consultant on time. Who explained everything to me in easy to understand detail.
My treatment throughout has been of a very high standard. Not only on the medical side, but of the kindness shown to me through the cardiac centre and catheter suite. I cannot speak highly enough of everybody, with special thanks to my consultant.
I have been so grateful for this doctor’s excellent treatment since he first fitted my pacemaker. Nothing is too much trouble and his professionalism is shown by him having worked extra time to see me originally when I was a semi emergency case with two chambers blocked. Today he gave me reassurance after checking me over thoroughly. Anyone treated by Dr Chandrasekaran is lucky to have him!

🚀 A UK first! We are delighted to announce the first implant in the UK using our new Solia CSP S lead, a purpose-built conduction system pacing (CSP) tool designed to evolve therapy and reinforce BIOTRONIK’s leadership in stylet-driven leads for LBBAP. The Solia CSP S is the world’s first and only lead that combines the benefits of a fixed-helix design with the flexibility of a stylet-driven system which is engineered exclusively for use in the interventricular septum with the Selectra 3D. A huge thank you to the incredible team who made this milestone possible! 👏 Wiltshire Cardiac Centre Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Matt Swift Kulvinder Gill Shannon Hogan Nicola Thorp Stephanie Barden #BIOTRONIK #Cardiology #CSP #LBBAP #Innovation #MedicalDevices
