From the outset, we were made to feel comfortable and at ease, in Dr Chowdhury's presence. He listened attentively, guiding us through our questions and concerns; with kindness and skill, culminating in a clear understanding of the possible procedures that could improve my quality of life. After arriving at the hospital, concerned about "how things would go", we left feeling better and that we are in good hands. Thank you so much.

My wife and I were very anxious wondering what we were going to be told. Dr Chowdhury immediately put each of us at ease. He was calm, very respectful and addressed both my wife and I when speaking to us. The explanations given to us were clear and easily understood - as was his diagram! During my many years of treatments via The NHS, I have met excellent staff of many disciplines. Dr. Chowdhury represents beyond excellence. I am more than grateful for the attention I am being afforded by him.

It was the first time I had met Dr Chowdhury and was immediately put at rest with his demeanour. He listened to me and took time to fully explain the condition I was suffering from. He spoke in a manner which both myself and wife could fully understand - no confusing technical terms! It was a pleasure to meet and be advised by such a professional and left the hospital feeling reassured that I was in good hands.

I had a recent visit for a cardiac ablation at the Alexandra hospital in Cheadle Manchester. The cardiac procedure was carried out successfully for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Sanjoy Chowdhury for his medical expertise, experience and accolades in this field of cardiology and electrophysiology.
