I just heard about a good doctor in Paris.. but don’t know f any specifically in the UK .. and not sure if cost for private in UK.. I know nothing of the health system there.. I am from Canada ..
Not you Chrissy, your doing fine, that comment was directed at BobD, he knows that Bordeaux is considered as the centre of excellence probably in Europe and I think the head honchos is Prof Michel Haissaguerre, hopefully Bob will confirm that!
I didnt know this. We have a house just 1hr.30mins drive from there. I'd heard about a hospital in Angouleme which had a good reputation for cardiology but not about Bordeaux being so prominent in the treatment for AF. I'm going to look into this., thanks.
Yip, I looked at Bordeaux institute , they invented catheter ablation and have been at the forefront of farapulse. A catheter ablation there including hospital stay is about €20,000.
Our French friends investigated the cost of a hip replacement for my mother some years ago; France was much cheaper than the UK for private surgery. I don't know about now, but worth checking out.
Hi ChrissyAs other posters have said Bordeaux is THE reference if your arrythmia is complicated. If it is straightforward it would be easier to find an EP anywhere in France but you need to check how many procedures he or she does.
