I would highly recommend Dr Malcolm Finlay who successfully treated my AF with an Ablation & a Cardioversion in December 2022 and January 2023. He has a very reassuring bedside manner & was highly professional in all my dealings with him.

For years, I was suffering by arrhythmia. Last year I met Dr Finlay, who replaced my previous therapy from 6 pills per day, to the new pills: just one in the morning, one in the evening. On his suggestion, I bought the medical watch, to monitor my heart bit on daily basis. After two months I noticed my arrhythmia started disappearing. Now, my heart is back to normal. I would like to express my gratitude to Dr Finlay for his wonderful job. FIka

Upon seeking a second opinion for some debilitating palpitations, courtesy of Google and various review platforms, I came across Dr Malcolm Finlay. I liked the fact that apart from his obvious proven expertise, skill in cardiac electrophysiology and pioneering innovations, other patients had commented on his personable attitude, clear communication and listening skills which was important to me in order to seek potential treatment options. I would highly recommend Dr Finlay to anyone and completely agree with all those reviews. From the outset he displayed empathy for my symptoms and was committed to doing everything possible to try and help me. He has a very proactive approach, thinks outside the box and formulates a plan together. Being a complex case he made it clear the desired result might not be achieved and pointed out the risks but I also knew he would not be performing an invasive procedure on me if he did not think a reasonable chance of a positive outcome would be met. Despite his abilities he is a very modest individual and prioritises the safety of his patients. He is supported by a highly trained team to assist him with state of the art facilities and my cardiac EP study and ablation procedure went successfully to plan which was a relief. At the time of writing I am now symptom free.
Thank you so much for your kind words, and so glad things have gone well for you!
