- I had a very positive experience with my cardiology consultant. From the initial consultation, I felt listened to and well cared for. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring, taking the time to explain my condition and treatment options clearly and answer all of my questions. I really appreciated the thorough and compassionate approach throughout my care. I felt confident that I was in safe hands and would have no hesitation in recommending this consultant to anyone.
- I saw Dr Amar Mistry for a cardiology review and was extremely impressed. I was seen just five days after booking, which was reassuring after struggling to get clarity through the NHS. Dr Mistry thoroughly reviewed my tests and identified a finding on my echocardiogram that had previously been overlooked by my GP. He was warm, professional and thorough, answered all my questions and provided a clear plan for my GP to follow. I left reassured and very grateful for his expertise and care.
