About
Facing concerns about your heart can be unsettling, but you do not have to navigate this journey alone. As a Consultant Cardiologist with over 21 years of experience, my goal is to provide you with definitive answers, expert care, and genuine peace of mind.
I understand that cardiac symptoms are highly distressing. I am committed to taking the time to listen, ensuring you feel heard and fully understand both your diagnosis and the pragmatic steps we need to take to improve your health.
Whether you require a comprehensive Private Heart Check, an advanced CT Coronary Angiogram, or a clear diagnosis for worrying symptoms, I work in partnership with you to deliver a personalised, evidence-based treatment plan.
Are you experiencing any of the following?
• Chest Discomfort or Pain: Investigating potential angina or coronary artery disease.
• Difficulty in Breathing: Assessing causes of breathlessness, including heart failure.
• Irregular Heartbeats or Palpitations: Diagnosing arrhythmias, including Atrial Fibrillation (AFib).
• Dizziness or Lightheadedness: Ruling out structural or rhythmic heart issues.
Why Choose My Practice?
• Authoritative Expertise: I hold senior clinical and academic roles, including Consultant Cardiologist at the Royal Free London and Honorary Associate Professor at University College London (UCL). I have honed my skills at prestigious institutions including King's College Hospital and the Royal Brompton Hospital.
• Compassionate Care: I believe in a tailored approach. Your unique needs, lifestyle, and concerns will guide your treatment plan.
• Clear Communication: Medical jargon helps no one. I will explain your condition and treatment options in plain, straightforward language.
My Specialist Diagnostic Services Include:
• Private Heart Checks & Screening: Comprehensive cardiovascular risk assessments.
• CT Heart Scans (CT Coronary Angiogram & Calcium Scoring): Advanced imaging to detect plaque and blockages in the arteries.
• Echocardiograms: Detailed ultrasound scans to assess your heart's structure and valve function.
• ECG & Holter Monitoring: 24-hour to multi-day monitoring to investigate palpitations and rhythm issues.
• Pre-Operative Assessments: Ensuring your heart is fit and ready for non-cardiac surgery.
