About Dr Michael Koa-Wing
Dr Michael Koa-Wing, Lead Consultant Cardiologist, currently works at West Herts Hospitals NHS Trust and Imperial College Healthcare in London. He is very experienced in treating and managing all aspects of general cardiology, including chest pain, heart failure, loss of consciousness, palpitations, heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias), and implantable cardiac devices. He has a keen interest in the implantation of a wide range of medical devices including pacemakers, loop recorders, left atrial appendage occluders, defibrillators, and cardiac resynchronisation devices. He can also offer patients several procedures including cardioversions and catheter ablation (supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation, and ventricular tachycardia).
Dr Koa-Wing qualified from his foundation training from Guys', King's and St. Thomas' Medical Schools with distinctions, before undertaking his postgraduate training at St. Mary's and Hammersmith Hospitals in London. During his training years, he studied abroad at Brigham & Women's Hospital associated with Harvard Medical School to further develop his skills. He also undertook a research degree focusing on cardiac electrophysiology, which later resulted in a PhD being awarded to him by Imperial College London. His research results on ventricular tachycardia ablation in addition to the development of a 3D mapping system for ablation of complex arrhythmias went on to be trialled in a multicentre clinical trial and is now in clinical use worldwide.
Dr Koa-Wing was later made a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and holds several professional memberships including the British Cardiac Society, the European Society of Cardiology and the British Heart Rhythm Society. He is also an active teacher, holding the position of Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer at Imperial College, London.

AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Dr Michael Koa-Wing is friendly, professional, reassuring, and clear when talking with patients. He explains heart problems like arrhythmia, and operations such as ablation and pacemaker fitting. He listens, answers all questions, and ensures patients know their care options. Many patients value his effective handling of atrial fibrillation, arrhythmia, ECG Holter monitors, and palpitations.
I had waited over 9 months for an NHS consultation and Dr Koa-Wing was very upset to hear that. He listened to my medical concerns and was empathic and attentive. The investigation he ordered was the only thing required to highlight my issue and he gave me a good explanation of the outcome and suggested a remedial response. Dr Koa-Wing is genuinely caring and approachable as well as a highly competent cardiologist.
Dr Koa-Wing was very helpful, understanding and gave clear advice. I would definitely recommend him to others.
Dr Koa-Wing explained in detail my test results. He had a very kind and sympathetic manner and extremely good knowledge of the situation and the treatment necessary
My appointment with Dr. Koa-Wing was on time and un-hurried meaning the initial review of the ECG was thorough and well explained. Initial results were not considered abnormal but to be clear, a number of further tests were discussed and booked in. Hospital staff were all very pleasant and professional, care was taken to explain what the tests were, how to wear the equipment, all in all, what could have been a stressful time was managed by Dr. Koa-Wing and his team in a very reassuring manner.
Dr Koa-Wing was relaxed and friendly on first meeting, a good start to more formal and sensitive but inevitable dialogue between us.I had been given several possible treatment options by my NHS cardiology and pros and cons of these were carefully explained. Very importantly, Dr Koa-Wing invited me to explain my understanding of my preferred treatment. The approval of my own account encouraged confidence to go ahead with the proposed intervention. In all our meetings, I have a found Dr.Koa-Wing to be a very confident , competent, warm and friendly doctor .I would not hesitate to recommend him and will mention so when I see my general practitioner.
The recent visit was the review of the ablation 12 months on and the results of the 48 hours ECG tests. As previously these were presented in a courteous and friendly manner.
Dr Koa-Wing comes across as friendly and professional, treating others with respect. I remember a hospital worker telling me I was lucky to be in his care; I agree.
Dr Koa -Wing was very professional. There was a clear plan laid out following my first meeting with him. Which made the whole process very reassuring.
Very attentive, precise, knowledgeable, caring helpful and well mannered with respect towards his patients
