Dr. Sanjay Bhandari

Outstanding Patient Experience Recognition (2026) – Doctify

Dr Sanjay Bhandari is a highly experienced Consultant Cardiologist specialising in the assessment and treatment of chest pain, breathlessness, palpitations, dizziness and blackouts, high blood pressure, cholesterol problems and heart rhythm disorders.

His approach is to provide patients with clear answers and a straightforward plan. Where appropriate, an ECG and echocardiogram can often be performed at the same appointment, allowing many patients to have their symptoms assessed and their next steps explained without the need for multiple separate visits.

Dr Bhandari is a Consultant Cardiologist at Glenfield Hospital, Leicester, and sees private patients at Spire Nottingham Hospital. He treats a broad range of heart conditions, including coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation and other heart rhythm problems, heart valve disease, cardiomyopathy and heart failure.

He has particular expertise in advanced cardiac imaging and reports over 400
cardiac MRI studies and performs/reports over 400 advanced echocardiography studies each year. He holds EACVI Level 3 accreditation in cardiac MRI and British Society of Echocardiography accreditation in both transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography. Advanced investigations, including cardiac MRI, can be arranged when appropriate.
