About
Nigel Stephens was recruited from Cambridge University, where he was a Lecturer in Medicine, to lead a newly built Cardiac Centre in Northwick Park Hospital over 20 years ago. This centre became successful and high-performing, with excellent outcomes. He brings these same qualities to his private practice, providing accessible and personalised care for people with heart disease. He is particularly committed to helping patients return to an active life following episodes of serious illness, so they can enjoy the benefits of physical activity and exercise.
Dr. Stephens oversees all aspects of cardiology care for patients 16 and older, including valvular heart disease, hypertension, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, and cardiac rhythm abnormalities. He also offers interventional procedures such as coronary angioplasty and stenting. He has strong and reliable communications with a group of colleagues who are based at Northwick Park Hospital; referrals to specialist cardiac surgery or electrophysiology services are discussed weekly in a meeting that Dr. Stephens chairs himself.
Dr. Stephens provides comprehensive care for patients with complex cardiovascular conditions, including the use of rotational atherectomy and mitral balloon valvuloplasty. He has extensive experience in managing cardiac problems in athletes, having helped establish a sports cardiology service at the Olympic Medical Institute. Over 10 years, this team saw more than 1,000 athletes referred with cardiac issues. Dr. Stephens is particularly interested in assessing apparently abnormal findings in athletes' hearts and determining whether it is safe for them to continue playing competitive sports if they have established heart disease. This has become an increasingly complex issue as common cardiovascular diseases tend to occur later in life while many people still wish to take part and compete in sporting activities.

I was devastated when I had a myocardial infraction in 2021 age 51, at the time I was very fit, running and strength training most days combined with a healthy balanced diet! In the 3 years since this event, with Dr Stephens help and support I have managed to get back to a high level of fitness with confidence, my time with him has been invaluable, not only tailoring my medication, diet, and training regime to suit my needs, but also helping me come to terms with and move on from the heart attack. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough! Many thanks Rob

I have been under the care of Dr Nigel Stephens for around 1 year now and can state categorically that he is by far the most professional medical consultant I have ever come across. Coupled with an extremely friendly and courteous manner, his response times to any issue he is dealing with regarding my health and well-being is always exemplary. His communication during any face to face consultation as well in writing afterwards is always comprehensive and accurate. It's for these reasons that I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who is experiencing cardio-related issues as he is clearly an expert in his field.

Excellent consultation with Dr Stephens. He took sufficient time to hear my explanations. He was very reassuring and gave me a very good understanding of his thinking. He suggested a referral to another specialist and arranged it.
