The care and treatment Professor Patel has provided so far has been excellent. He explained in clear and simple language what my diagnosis was, what it meant, and what the most appropriate next steps ought to be. As a reasonably young cardiac patient, I was initially very concerned, however Prof Patel has put my mind at rest and I feel I am in extremely capable hands.
Very professional and friendly. Listened to concerns and gave good explanations.

Everything was dealt with efficiently, promptly and professionally. Professors Patel and his assistant were most helpful. Appointment was on time.
So far he has been very helpful, I am awaiting tests and a follow up meeting shortly.

Prof Nikki is very helpful and understanding and one feels reassured being under his care.
