Good Prices yes, (on the surface but after he insists on more tests it can get rather more expensive)and he does insist quite strongly so be aware that the price you see may not be the price you eventually pay. (I opted for the Silver Plan £299 Specialist Consultation & Echo+ F/U consultation) BUT his consultation was totally shambolic,UNPROFESSIONAL and very very rushed. Kept on insisting on various tests like 12 Lead ECG(even though I explained that 2 days previously I had 2 on the NHS and BOTH were reported as normal)From TWO different hospitals!(ECG costs another £70. (I offered to pay for his new ECG but he still refused, probably because patients were queuing up outside and ringing that terrible bell!)Dr.Kosta muttered something about £365 presumably, he would have"UPGRADED" me to his"GOLD PLAN"which by coincidence includes an ECG. But he clearly didn't have the time because patients were constantly ringing the bell!.(He has no personal secretary because of COVID 19 it seems and the building secretary that comes with the Building when you rent an office there leves work at 4pm. He Insisted on Magnesium and Vitamin D blood tests even though I showed him Magnesium blood test from NHS from the previous day! and I told him verbally that I supplement with Vitamin D every day. He didn't attach ECG lead during my Echo (Made some excuse about his new machine doesn't need ECG leads attached which I find strange! and patients constantly ringing the bell to get in like passengers at Kings Cross station.(Long QUEUE) but only one makeshift chair. Gave me one appointment time,then asked to change it but was still 45 minutes late to see me. I asked for a full medical report(Extra £65)then he had the cheek to complain about me in that medical report that I complained about his consultation.(Not exactly professional behaviour) Seems a good Cardiologist,but his personal attitude,Business protocols and Medical Letter writing is amateurish at best! From my personal point of view as a patient, Basically he cannot run this business himself which is what he seems to be trying to do and from my experience it was a total disaster. He is just booking far too many patients far too close together. Would not book again as he seemed very distant/strange/argumentative with Amateurish business protocols and attitude. Sorry but would not recommend at all.
