I had an introductory visit with Dr Foale along with a full work up of ECG, echo and stress test. Dr Foale kindly allowed me to do all this at once as I had travelled from a distant country didnt want to have to return for follow up visits. The various tests were conducted very professionally by his staff. Most importantly Dr Foale’s explanations were extremely clear and unhurried.
