I saw Dr Garg and within a week had had an echocardiogram and CT angiogram. The day after I had had the latter Dr Garg phoned me in the evening to explain the results and forwarded a detailed copy to me.

An excellent overall experience – Long consultation with good explanations and Q&As left me with a thorough understanding of my condition and feeling reassured and confident about the procedures that would follow – Dr Garg also performed my angiogram which was a smooth, stress-free experience – I would highly recommend this consultant.

Dr Gary was very nice and understanding, he explained things well for me to understand and I am looking forward to the MRi scan of my heart that the doctors core has arranged! The Dr explained to me about the importance of fitness but I also felt that he was very understanding in the fact that large people can actually be fit as well you don’t have to be a stick person like Celine Deon for instance! He knew that I’ve never been a skinny person and I have been very fit and very active before my ankles & knee problems. Fact only a few years ago I used to workout for 2hours in the gym & then he lay Tennis for 2 hours with my son who is half my age yet it never made me slim !

Very understanding of my non traditional diet, didn’t resort to telling me to go go back to a ‘standard’ diet like most doctors would so I appreciated that. Very calming and reassuring in my case and explains everything in a simple manner
