Dr Behar is a very nice man. He answered my questions and put me at ease. His confidence in my outcome made me feel confident too. He is a very calm presence, which when you have heart issues is a very good thing.
I am incredibly grateful for the guidance, care and support I have received from Dr Behar throughout the treatment of my atrial fibrillation. Through his expert consultations, medication management and carefully considered treatment plan, I have gone from struggling to walk short distances to now training at the gym most days. The improvement in my health, fitness and overall quality of life has been remarkable. Being under Dr Behar’s care has been truly transformative, and I cannot thank him enough for the positive impact he has had on my lifestyle and wellbeing.
Good experience overall, very clear, patient and understanding of our concerns.
This was our third consultation with Dr Behar for my mother aged 86. (26th October 2026). Dr Behar is excellent. The reasons are as follows: 1. The quality of commissioned assessments (Holter, Eco, Treadmill) and the explanation of complex medical terms in a simple and easy to follow manner. 2. Identifying the main issues and management and follow up. 3. Being realistic and pragmatic in providing patient led solutions. 4. Dr Behar is calm and entirely patient orientated. Our joint view is he is simply outstanding.
"I had an excellent consultation with Dr Behar. He demonstrated outstanding professionalism, deep knowledge, and great personal culture. He listened attentively, explained everything clearly, and made me feel completely at ease. I honestly cannot praise Dr Behar enough.
