I was seen at my appointed time after a simple registration process. Mr Austin explained my forthcoming procedure in a very clear yet not patronising way, putting me completely at ease. I would like to add that, following some problems with my insurer, his secretary, Sharice, was extremely helpful.

Mr Austin put me at my ease from our first conversation, so that I was reassured about going through surgery with him and understood what needed doing and why. He is clearly a brilliant surgeon and was highly spoken of throughout the hospital and I feel very fortunate to have been one of his patients.

Excellent heart surgeon, would recommend it to everybody. Very unusual personality and quite a nice man. He did my 4th aortic valve replacement surgery(Ross Konno PEARS) and so far everything looks really promising.
