I previously had an ablation done by Dr De Bono years ago, and needed to visit again due to having more frequent ectopics. Dr De Bono made me feel very reassured by 1) providing all the right tests with a very quick turnaround 2) reviewing my smart watch readings that were incorrectly stating atrial fibrillation. 10/10

I first saw Dr De Bono in 2012, when my GP had put my symptoms down to anxiety. Dr De Bono knew straight away what was really going on: it was SVT, a genuine heart condition, not anxiety. He has since carried out two ablations for me, and he remains my go-to for anything heart-related. He isn’t fluffy. He’s direct and straight to the point, but he instils complete confidence that he knows exactly what he’s doing. I would trust him with my life, which, to be fair, I actually am! I couldn't recommend anyone more.

Dr De Bono has been my cardiologist for the last four years since the onset of a fib. He has given me excellent care. From severe a fib his treatment has returned me to a normal lifestyle under his direction with lifestyle and medical treatment. His Manor is of the highest order. His clarity has enabled me to perfectly understand what I should do as a patient to ensure I live the best possible healthy lifestyle with my current a fib concern.

I was very nervous about seeing a consultant but Dr.De Bono makes you feel totally at ease. He is always very supportive & very professional. He explained in detail what investigations were to be carried out & the reason why. Following all tests he clearly explained the findings & what best steps to be taken.

I booked the appointment at short notice. The receptionist at Outpatient’s was very helpful. I was seen ahead of my appointment time. Dr De Bono was very thorough, approachable and was very reassuring. He certainly put my mind at rest and I came away with a clear treatment plan. I live in Wales but It was well worth the journey for a second opinion. Highly recommend.
