Dr Rodney Foale is consistently kind, caring, and friendly in his patient interactions. Patients praise his extensive knowledge and the clear explanations given for their conditions and treatment. He diagnoses cardiovascular conditions and guides patients through procedures like heart operations, angioplasty, and bypass. His care frequently involves electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, exercise stress tests, and managing high blood pressure.
It is always a pleasure to see Dr Foale, He is very articulate in his explanation of the working of the heart, with that in mind he always has the confidence in reassuring me that after my stent being fitted by the NHS all is very well, and leaves me feeling very good about myself.
Dr Foale and his team were exceptionally professional and friendly. All correspondence and queries were dealt with promptly and always resolved. Reception and administrative staff were very friendly in all dealings with me. Dr Foale has an exceptionally friendly way about him, he explained everything very clearly to me. The appointment was not rushed and I got the distinct feeling that Dr Foale had my best interests at heart. I would highly recommend him.
