Dr Steadman had prepared well for my visit reviewing all of the available material including checking back on historical ECG’s on the NHS website as well as the recent tests. After examination he explained his findings very clearly and was happy to take the time to answer all my questions
Dr Steadman was very professional, open and approachable throughout my investigation. I felt a real sense of comfort that I was in extremely capable hands, that I was being listened to, and that everything was being done to understand my symptoms. The investigation progressed really quickly which takes some of the worry and anxiety out of the overall experience. Thank you!
I saw Dr Steadman for an initial consultation regarding recent symptoms. This was a private appointment following a visit to my GP. Dr Steadman listened carefully to my concerns and made notes throughout the consultation. I did not feel rushed at any point, and he explained matters clearly and in a way that was easy to understand. He outlined what he believes is likely to be happening, while also clarifying that further tests are required before any firm conclusions can be drawn. The next steps were set out clearly. The consultation itself was reassuring. Dr Steadman was friendly, professional, and appeared genuinely interested in my case. I also received a copy of his letter to my GP later that same evening, which I appreciated for its clarity and promptness. Overall, I found the appointment to be thorough, informative, and reassuring.
