Dr Patrick Heck

Dr Heck is always brilliant in his manner and professionalism

Dr Heck is an outstanding clinician. He has performed two ablation’s and implanted and now replaced my ICD. He is always friendly, welcoming and makes time to ensure both me, as the patient and my wife understand what is being done. He is excellent at calmly explaining the issues so my wife can be as relaxed as possible. I can’t thank or praise him enough for his work. Neil B.

This was my first time visiting a cardiologist and I was happy that Dr Heck took time to explain various aspects of the functioning of the heart and how these might relate to my own experience. I am currently waiting for feedback on the results of a few extra tests but, if I understand correctly, this can be done over the phone, thereby saving me a 160-mile round trip from Holt to Cambridge. for which I'm very grateful. Despite a customary sharp rise in blood pressure whenever I find myself in a clinical setting, I found meeting Dr Heck a totally pleasant experience. Much like myself, he has a good sense of humour and thereby immediately put me at ease.

Easy to talk to, explained AF condition and consequences in a manner that was very easy to understand, as were the options for treatment .

Always so reassuring , kind and concerned. Usually on time and does not rush you. That is why we want to stick with Dr heck for this problem.

Always has time to explain and help me understand the proceedures

Dr Heck was patient in his analysis; clear in his explanation and caring in his proposed treatment. I thank him for his expertise and feel thankful to be in his care.

I was admitted to the Royal Papworth for Cardiac Ablation as a day patient , expecting a stay of approximately 8 hours. On my arrival I found the nurses well prepared, friendly and efficient and Dr Heck paid a short visit before I was taken for my procedure on time. As I had my Ablation under general anaesthetic I have no real memories of it except feeling cold on my arrival in The Catheter Lab. I woke up in recovery 2:30 hour later. Back in my room I continued my recovery , pretty much “text book” except for a small bleed from “ the entry wound and a pressure bandage was applied Dr. Heck came for another short visit to let me know that my procedure had gone as planned which was reassuring and my discharge home only delayed by a few hours. I felt very privileged to have been treated at The Royal Papworth by Dr. Heck and his team.

My appointment with Dr. Heck was very informative and reassuring with my arrhythmia issues. He made me feel very relaxed during the appointment and was very knowledgeable. The communication with Dr. Heck’s secretary was first class answering any queries. Thank you for everything and I won’t hesitate to contact you again if I have any further issues. I highly recommend him to others. Many thanks Robert B.

Fabulous Dr Heck and his team are amazing he has transformed my quality of life he always greets me with positivity and my wife and I cannot thank him enough Martin P
