Dr Islam greeted my husband and me warmly.. He explained that I had been called to a cardiology appointment to check how I was following a fainting episode in June. He questioned me very thoroughly and reassured me that what I had suffered was indeed a faint. Although the focus of my appointment was not intended to assess my AF, when I expressed my concern about my current drug regime, Dr Islam gwas kind and patient, showing me potential side—effects and reassuring me all should be fine. My husband & I left the consultation feeling we had been treated by a very competent, kind and empathetic doctor. Thank you!

Dr Islam was very considerate taking time to explain my recent scans and future steps. He answered my questions and concerns with clarity for which I was extremely grateful. He did not at any time rush the consultation and gave me the distinct impression that he wanted me to go away armed with all the knowledge I needed to move forward. Very impressed indeed with the manner in which my consultation was conducted.
