He gave me really clear explanations in plain English which allowed me to understand the ramifications of having AF and why treating it was so easy but important.

He listened and allowed time for me to ask questions which he answered fully. He left me feeling confident about what I should do next and very obviously was thinking beyond the routine protocol driven considerations to think and explain about the less common possibilities and why they were or were not relevant. If more doctors did this a great deal fewer repeat appointments would be requested. I know what to look out for and how to respond. It would be useful to have better instructions about how to park and get to the cardiology department at Darrenth Valley as stressful waiting to get into car park and then trying to find way around, though volunteers were very helpful I did not realise that they would be there. Certainty about these details in advance would allay anxiety.

Doctor Petzer was thorough, professional and very kind. After half an hour with him I felt reassured and completely clear about my cardiac health. He struck exactly the right balance between being an expert scientist and an approachable human being who understood my anxiety.
I would have no hesitation in recommending him to others
