Dr Tuan Peng Chua's patient interactions are kind, reassuring, and professional. Patients praise his expertise across procedures, including major heart surgery for aortic aneurysms, stent insertions, and managing conditions such as ventricular ectopy and atrial fibrillation; his approach is clear, thorough, and his support exceptional for cases like regaining CAA Class 1 Medical Certificates. Key themes for his practice include heart failure, coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, and diagnostic echocardiograms.
Dr Chua always puts you at ease. Takes time to answer questions and find out all your symptoms. The explains what is happening and why. He gives clear instructions on the next steps. Would happily recommend
I have been a patient of Dr Chua since 2015. I had major heart surgery following the discovery of a large aortic aneurysm and he has looked after me ever since. He is a very kind doctor and cares deeply for his patients. There’s never any sense of being rushed during an appointment and he is very thorough with all the checks and monitoring that is now increasingly necessary as I approach my 84th birthday. I am more than glad that Dr Chua is my cardiologist and would recommend him unreservedly to anyone who needed to see a consultant. Thank you Dr Chua.
Excellent service from everyone in the hospital Dr Chua has looked after me extremely well , he has kept me informed of my treatment and has an amazing bedside manor I am very , very appreciative for all the amazing care I have been given from the NHS
Good bedside manner and very good at explaining symptoms
I cannot recommend Dr. T.P. Chua highly enough. As a professional airline pilot, regaining a CAA Class 1 Medical Certificate following a cardiac issue can be an extremely complex, stressful, and often daunting process. The standards are understandably rigorous, and navigating the medical requirements, investigations, reports, and regulatory pathways can feel overwhelming. Throughout my own journey, Dr. Chua proved to be an outstanding source of expertise, guidance, and support. What immediately sets Dr. Chua apart is his deep understanding not only of cardiology, but also of the specific requirements and decision-making processes used by the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). He understands the aviation medical system, the relevant certification standards, and what is required to help pilots demonstrate that they meet the necessary criteria for returning safely to flying duties. This specialist knowledge is invaluable and gives pilots confidence that they are receiving advice that is both medically sound and aviation-focused. From the outset, Dr. Chua was meticulous, thorough, and highly professional. He took the time to explain every aspect of my condition, the investigations required, and the likely pathway towards medical recertification. More importantly, he genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome. He was always approachable, responsive, and willing to answer questions, no matter how detailed or technical they were. What impressed me most was the extent to which he went above and beyond what might normally be expected. Dr. Chua clearly understands ...
