- Dr Malkin comes highly recommended. He is kind, empathetic and really listened to my concerns. I never felt rushed in his presence, he was always reassuring and is incredibly knowledgeable in his field! I am very grateful to have found such a fantastic Cardiologist!
- Chris Malkin listened well, responded professionally and was a very clear communicator. The reception staff initially ignored me and the communication was a little awkward. After this initial glitch everything went smoothly.Doctor's response -Thank you for this feedback to me and to Leeds Nuffield We are working on ways to communicate more quickly and efficiently to patients while maintaining confidentiality and safety
- From, confirmation phone call, pre op tests, TAVI procedure to home 10 days. 7 weeks later, post op echocardiogram & discharge chat with Dr Malkin. I’m now walking daily for over 30 mins. The TAVI journey with Dr Malkin & his team, was a great success
