I returned to Dr. Pakrashi after an 18 month break, as my AF has apparently migrated from paroxysmal to constant. As always, he was charming, friendly and reassuring, as well as quickly putting matters in hand to initiate appropriate interventions. My condition is worrying, but Dr. Pakrashi's manner and effectiveness provide welcome confidence that matters are in hand for a positive outcome. I would certainly recommend him.

Dr Pakrashi is both personable and efficient. He delivered a comprehensive overview of my husband's conditions and engaged us both in an active ongoing management strategy. He also organized with his pa the ordering of my husband's medications. After the consultation Dr Pakrashi compiled my husband's health history and action plan into an easy to read summary.

Tapesh Pakrashi is my go-to cardiologist for any patients who have concerning cardiac symptoms or require a thorough workup in terms of screening or in-depth investigation. The amazing thing about him is his breadth and depth of experience and knowledge. He's like several consultants embodied in a single clinician! He is very detailed and really listens carefully to his patients. I cannot recommend him enough. So, if you have patients who experience palpitations, a wonky-looking ECG, symptoms of breathlessness, dizziness, or who are concerned about their cardiac risk, send them to Tap!
