Reviews
Professor Deanfield is exceptional. I have been treated by several highly regarded cardiologists over the years, all of whom were very good. However, Professor Deanfield operates at a different level. He takes the time to listen carefully, ensures you feel fully understood, and explains complex medical issues in clear, simple terms that are genuinely easy to grasp. What truly sets him apart is not only his clinical expertise, but his manner. He is calm, thoughtful, and genuinely caring, which gives real reassurance at what can otherwise be an anxious time. Since coming under his care, my health has improved significantly, and I have felt consistently well supported throughout. The same can be said of his team. Mel and Serenity are both thoroughly professional, warm, and clearly care deeply about patients. Together, they create an environment that feels supportive, personal, and well organised, with an excellent bedside manner throughout. I would have no hesitation in recommending Professor Deanfield and his team.
Very reassuring and thorough. Prof Deanfield is extremely conscientious and has followed up with telephone calls since I first saw him, as well as arranging repeat appointments.
Best professor I have been visiting for the bast 5 years. Describes very well the problem and in detail. I highly recommend him. He treated me and my daughter very professionally.
Professor Deanfield has been a Godsend for me and quite literally saved my life. There are many things to say about this humble human but what has always stood out for me is his genuine care and kindness. He always spoke directly about his concerns and plan of action but with care and compassion. I have always felt heard by him and guided correctly. Professor Deanfield has a manner about him which reassuring, unassuming and always professional. His team are also an absolute delight and always ensure everything in the background runs smoothly.
I've been visiting Professor Deanfield for 25 years and had 3 operations with him. Fully satisfied and trust him 100%
