Reviews
I have been under Dr Loke’s care since February this year because of an emerging heart condition which culminated in Dr Loke fitting me with a pacemaker last week. I cannot speak highly enough of Dr Loke. He was straightforward in his explanation of my condition, clearly setting out options delivered with kindness and sensitivity. The actual pacemaker procedure was carried out with professionalism and followed up with a bedside visit soon after.
Throughout my time as his patient, Dr Loke provided very friendly, thorough and expert care. He was an excellent communicator, keeping me regularly updated, and ensured I received the necessary treatment quickly.
I have had the good fortune to have Dr Ian Loke as my consultant at Glenfield Hospital for the past few years since my heart problems were revealed. I had no hesitation, following his advice, in having my pacemaker inserted by him. My confidence in him has been rewarded by what I consider to be a successful procedure. He has, since the procedure was completed, kept in touch and re-assured me if I've had any post-procedure concerns. I would whole-heartedly recommend him to anybody with heart problems. Regards, David A
Dr Loke came across as very knowledgable. I have seen several cardiologists over the years and Dr Lokes explanation of my symptoms was excellent- I understand a lot more about heart failure now. Hoping to see again.
Dr Loke was patient kind and took time to listen to me and explained my condition in terms I could understand and the implications for me and my family. He was courteous and punctual and I felt very reassured following my consultation.
Professional, clear understandable explanation, really wanted to ensure I knew what was happening.
A relaxed experience when it could be a stressful experience given the subject matter.
I cannot rate this Doctor highly enough. He is without doubt a practitioner in which you can have full confidence.
Absolutely fantastic experience all things considered. Listened to all my concerns big or small took them seriously then explained everything in great detail. Made me feel very relaxed. Highly recommended.
