Outstanding Patient Experience Recognition (2026) – Doctify

Dr Sanjay Bhandari is a Consultant Cardiologist specialising in the assessment and management of chest pain, breathlessness, palpitations, dizziness, blackouts, high blood pressure and cholesterol disorders. Patients are typically seen, assessed and provided with a clear explanation of the likely diagnosis and next steps within a single visit.

He is a Consultant Cardiologist at Glenfield Hospital, Leicester and sees private patients at Spire Nottingham Hospital. ECG and echocardiography can often be performed during the same appointment, and advanced investigations, including cardiac MRI, can be arranged where appropriate, helping patients receive timely answers and a clear treatment plan without unnecessary delays.

Dr Bhandari has particular expertise in advanced cardiac imaging. He performs over 400 cardiac MRI scans and  400 advanced echocardiography studies each year and holds EACVI Level 3 accreditation in cardiac MRI, together with British Society of Echocardiography accreditation in both transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography.

He graduated from the University of Leicester Medical School with First-Class Honours and was awarded the John MacVicar Prize. He subsequently completed a British Heart Foundation-funded PhD in cardiovascular medicine and is an Honorary Senior Lecturer at the University of Leicester and a Fellow of the European Society of Cardiology (FESC).

Common reasons for consultation include:

• Chest pain or suspected coronary artery disease
• Shortness of breath, heart failure or cardiomyopathy
• Palpitations or heart rhythm disorders
• Dizziness or blackouts
• Heart valve disease
• High blood pressure or cholesterol concerns

Patients consistently describe Dr Bhandari as clear, thorough and reassuring. He is committed to delivering personalised, evidence-based care and takes time to explain findings in straightforward language, ensuring patients leave with a clear understanding of their diagnosis, treatment options and next steps.
