Had to have a TOE to find out exactly what’s wrong with my heart. The reception staff, nurses, support staff were all excellent. Dr Barbagallo was very nice, caring & put me at ease. Sedation was so good I slept through the procedure

A very pleasant experience. I learnt more from Dr Barbagollo during my consultation than all my previous visits to A&E. She listens attentively and explains everything in an easy to understand manor. She referred me for a possible Catheter Ablation and followed up to ensure I was getting the right treatment and medication for my condition. I have no hesitation in recommending her clinic.
