About Dr Gary Wright

Dr Gary A Wright is a leading Consultant Cardiologist and heart rhythm specialist in Glasgow, Scotland. He provides private cardiology care at Ross Hall Hospital and also works in the NHS at the Golden Jubilee National Hospital, Glasgow Royal Infirmary, and Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.

He specialises in diagnosing and treating heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias), including atrial fibrillation (AF), palpitations, supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), atrial flutter, ventricular tachycardia (VT), ectopic beats, and blackouts/syncope. Patients often see him for private atrial fibrillation treatment, catheter ablation procedures, and management of palpitations or unexplained dizziness.

Dr Wright trained in Scotland, England, and Canada, including advanced heart rhythm training with world experts. He set up the cardiac ablation service at Ross Hall Hospital, where he is the senior electrophysiology consultant. He performs the full range of ablations using the latest techniques, including CryoBalloon, 3D CARTO mapping, and is introducing the latest  Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) technology.

Independent audits over the last 10 years show that Dr Wright has among the lowest complication rates in electrophysiology, giving patients confidence in safe, effective, and personalised care.

My recent visit to Ross Hall Hospital to have a Pulse Field Ablation done by Dr Gary Wright was an altogether straightforward experience. Everything was explained in advance in a careful and considerate way despite the fact he must have done that so many times before, explaining both procedure and expected outcome. He also patiently answered the many questions my son and I asked at the first consultation. Following the procedure, Dr Wright followed up saying if I had any questions about the recovery, to get in touch. I could not have been looked after any better.

On entering the Hospital I realised immediately that I was being looked after by a well organised team of people who treated me with a polite ,calm and professional manner which allayed my fears. Dr. Wright explained the procedure to me in straight forward language which resolved my anxiety and he instilled in me a complete confidence in his abilities. I was able to put my trust in Dr.Hart the anaesthetist after listening to him. When I entered the catheter Lab. I was struck immediately by the close team of staff. After the procedure I was taken to a high dependency area and then the ward. Throughout this period, my care was exemplary. I was discharged late afternoon with clear instructions and an appointment to see Dr. Wright. At no time did I require pain relief. My own previous experience in Health care of being in charge of a department meant I was able to recognise a well organised team of professionals who were looking after me

I recently underwent an SVT ablation with Dr Gary Wright and I cannot recommend him enough. Dr Wright was extremely personable, informative and approachable. His demeanour was very calming and put any concerns I had at ease. The full team in the Cath Lab were outstanding as well. They made me feel safe and advised me every step of the way. Peter (aka Neil) was incredibly kind and supportive - he never left my side. I even got to see the catheters still present inside my heart on the screen - very cool! I was very nervous leading up to my procedure. Thankfully due to the full team, I left feeling very little discomfort and a positive experience.

Dr Wright quickly understood my symptoms and checked them with some very specific questions and then was able to reassure me that what I was experiencing was relatively normal and non-life threatening. He took an ECG reading and suggested some next steps for me to be able to check if the symptoms I have match his diagnosis. I'm very pleased I made the decision to consult him.
