- Lovely woman, and a fantastic doctor! I’m an anxious person and she made me feel so calm all the way through. She has changed my life!
- I cannot fault my experience with Dr Anita Arya , and as a result have recommended her to two other friends, one who I know has taken my advice and had a consultation with her, finding her as impressive as myself. My 5 consultations with Dr Arya were so supportive and she really listened to everything I said, because it was all in feed back correspondence from her efficient team. She s very friendly, reassuring and quick to respond in communication and suitable appointments. . 5/5
- I cannot praise Dr Arya and the extended team at the Heart clinic New Cross hospital enough. Dr Arya was exceptional, from diagnosis to operation and post op consultation. Her manner put me at ease and her explanation of the procedure and follow up was outstanding. I highly recommend her and those that do fall under her care will be most fortunate.
- Dr Arya has been the consultant for my cardiac problems for the last seven years and has always been thorough and friendly I have had various setbacks with my treatments ie having to pause it while I had radiotherapy and then the pandemic but i was always kept up to date with my condition finally Dr Arya was able to perform 2 ablations on my heart over the space of 12 months and both have proved successful and i am now out of AF and my heart function has improved significantly
- I found Dr Arya to be extremely reassuring, professional and above all very personable. I would have no hesitation in recommending her .
- Excellent experience in every way. Dr Arya explained everything very clearly, the outcome of the ablation has been fantastic, no more SVT episodes and no more medication, a much less stressful life in every way. Procedure was on Christmas Eve, so a big thank you to all the staff.
- Since meeting Dr Arya she has been absolutely brilliant at sorting out my heart condition, to give me the best possible quality of life I can. Can’t thank her enough.
- I was treated with compassion and dignity. All staff from admin to consultant, ward staff, theatre staff, were all extremely professional, passionate and efficient. The whole ethos of the catheter suite and the heart and lung center is one of putting the patient first every time
- Very friendly and I felt comfortable talking to Dr Arya. I was put at ease as she explained information for going forward for my condition. I was able to ask questions which she answered simply and clearly. This helped me make a decision about my choice of procedure.
