Dr Harding seemed to have plenty of time and not rush appointment, during which he explained options and further tests required leaving them for me to consider.

Great facilities but on first visit didn't realise there was porter help from the car park as we are both disabled and after dropping my wife the Only 2 disabled bays close by were full so I parked in the car park and slowly made my way back to reception where I was told about the porter service. Dr Harding was very profesional pleasant and informative and explained the way forward with further tests

Exceptional in every respect I cannot speak highly enough of Dr Idris Harding. From the moment I met him, I felt I was in the hands of someone with exceptional knowledge and experience, but equally importantly, someone who genuinely understood the anxiety that can come with an unexpected cardiac event. He was warm, sympathetic and incredibly empathetic. At no point did I feel rushed. He took the time to listen properly, understand exactly what had happened and then explain my diagnosis, the possible causes, the risks and the next steps in language that was clear and reassuring without ever being dismissive. What impressed me most was his ability to make something medically complex completely understandable. Every question I had was answered thoroughly, and I left the consultation not only knowing far more about what had happened to me, but feeling genuinely confident about returning to normal life. There is a huge difference between being told not to worry and having someone give you the knowledge and understanding that allows you to stop worrying. Dr Harding did exactly that for me. An outstanding cardiologist and, just as importantly, an exceptional human being. I feel extremely fortunate to know he is my cardiologist. 5 Stars just doesn’t feel enough

Dr Harding so brilliant in our initial consultation. He listened to all the varied symptoms & was able to piece them all together maybe even some that I thought would have no relevance was able to give a reason as to why which gave alot of reassurance that I wasnt going mad! Thanks so much
