self funded consultation with cardiologist?

[Ruhestand]

Can anyone please recommend a cardiologist that would be willing to see me on the above basis. I have had 2 cardio-versions and one ablation. My atrial fibrillation returned this year. I feel i am taking too many prescribed drugs at once , and making too many trips to A&E. I will be in possession of a "doctors letter". I live between Stoke on Trent and Shrewsbury (England). Thank you.

There is a list of EPs by area on our main (AFA )website under patient resources.

Professor Faizel Osman,University Hospital Coventry and Warwick,( Walsgrave)Excellent reputation, I saw him initially as private at the on site BMI Hospital there,then he transferred me to NHS.

Cannot fault him,really very good.

Inital appointment around 170 to 200 pounds, best I ever spent.

Can self refer direct or through GP.

Highly recommended and not too far from Stoke.

Sanjay Gupta online consultation

[Tangalle]

hi

Sanjay Gupta does online consultations and they can be booked online. He is based in York (York cardiology) and I have travelled to see him from Shrewsbury. Excellent cardiologist and a lovely man.

Best wishes

Birmingham Heart Rhythm Group at The Priory in Edgbaston. I saw Dr Lencioni; very warm and speaks complex matters in a way you can easily understand. Again around £200 for a consultation. I was not willing to wait a year for diagnosis so he sorted that out with me and has given me options to discuss with him in June. He also wrote a handwritten letter to my GP whilst I was there soI could have anticoagulants asap and followed up with a formal letter with my treatment plan.

I’m in Scotland but if nearer I would book to see Sanjay Gupta.

Hi - I used and would recommend this group about 3 weeks ago and great experience - now diagnosed and about to get on a route to treatment

Appt was at Birmingham Priory

Cost - £200 for consultation + £40 for ECG

Got an appt in 3 days vs advised 4 months for urgent referral on NHS - so pleased I made that decision!!
