- This was a consultation by telephone. Rated Dr Ginks five star
- I know Dr Ginks for more than 5 years as he was (and is) my consultant cardiologist in both JR and Manor hospitals. I have a problem with my heart rhythm, which periodically returns to a permanent state of AF. On top of that, I also have a lot of ectopias, which become more and more intrusive. I recently (on 16 April 2026) went through my third cardioversion, which was again supervised by Dr Ginks. I am infinitely grateful Dr Ginks for his readiness to help both before and after procedures.
- Dr Ginks was very easy to talk to and very professional in his approach. He made me feel at ease and explained things very well. He was happy to answer questions put by myself and my husband. I felt in safe hands during my ECG with the nurse. Also during my Echogram (unexpected) with Dr. Ginks. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family.
- Overall an excellent hospital and staff
- I was very pleased how the doctor listened to side effects and offered an alternative solution
- My appointment with Dr Ginks was fully 5 star. He was extremely professional, explained my condition and options clearly and all in all was a very pleasant chap.
