I came away feeling like an idiot for attending. I’m sure it was meant to be reassuring but I had only sought advice from a cardiologist after being told by 3 doctors I should. I was left feeling like it was stupid of me to have wasted his time, but obviously not enough for him to not want further testing? I understand the cause of my symptoms might not be in his specialism but he could’ve been kinder and suggested a recommendation for another discipline to see if more suitable following outcomes of my testing.
My appointment was carried out with the utmost professionalism and advice given was very reassuring.

Very thorough and understanding
Thank you for the review, it is very much appreciated
Fantastic Consultant. Mr Wilkinson has previously performed surgical procedures on me due to have a heart attack at a young age (42) and I have multiple stents. I wanted to just check all was well after 14 years and get some Piece of mind via consultation and some tests (GP will not use NHS services as I was not having no pain or symptoms and are only good in reactive situations) Mr Wilkinson is very knowledgeable, professional and always puts me at ease. It was a very positive experience and thankfully all went very well. I would 100% recommend Mr Wilkinson and trust him completely.
Thanks for your kind words. I'm so glad you are doing well and now have an award nominated healthcare business yourself!
