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.

Outside of medicine, he enjoys travelling, reading, and cooking.

Today was a follow up appointment after a successful cardiac ablation in March at Ross Hall Dr Wright is friendly and calm and explained everything clearly, which put me at ease. I’m so grateful to him for making me better! Thank you!

Dr Wright put me at ease about the ablation procedure from my first consultation with him in July 2023. He explained about the possibility that it might need to be repeated and I was quite at ease when my atrial fibrillation returned two years later. I underwent a second ablation procedure 3 months ago and I have not had a repeat episode since.

I had no experience of heart conditions or AFib prior March this year. Having been advised of possible AFib, I reviewed various cardiologists and decided on Dr Wright. I am glad I did. His explanations were clear and his manner was caring but not overly concerning. Therefore, I felt I had enough information to understand my situation, take advice given but also know the signs for when treatment or medication might need reviewing.

I visited Dr Wright for an atrial fibrillation diagnosis. He explained the condition in a manner that was understandable and spent time discussing my treatment options. I then had an ablation under his care and the procedure was carried out successfully. I felt confident in his care and was put at ease throughout the day. I would highly recommend him for his expertise and knowledge and his care and understanding of a difficult time.

Unfortunately due to circumstances outwith anyone's control my chosen consultant could not complete the procedure, however he requested Dr Wright take the lead and the procedure was carried out in line with the planned schedule. Dr Wright's manner was equally as professional and personable as the original consultant and put me at ease immediately on the morning of the procedure, explaining in detail that was easy to understand. His efficiency was remarkable, having the letter stating further detail of work carried out and the successful outcome awaiting in my email before the anaesthetic had worn off! In the recovery area Dr Wright again took the time to ensure all was well before he had satisfied himself that the outcome was as hoped. An excellent team around him in an excellent facility.
