Dr Wilkinson explained everything very clearly and in a language that you could fully understand. I felt very satisfied with the way in which he felt with me.

Could have given advice on what I could possibly expect from coming off my medication - if he expected anything or nothing! I had an odd episode a few days later and wasn't sure whether that was normal after withdrawal of this heart regulator or whether I should mention it to someone - because I don't want to make a fuss unnecessarily, I didn't say anything but maybe it would be good to have been given the opportunity to report anything odd or to have been told any symptoms that might arise and if they did then I should not worry.
Dr Wilkinson listened, was informative and interactive apart from that.

Profile
Dr James Richard Wilkinson is a Consultant Interventional Cardiologist (heart specialist) based at Southampton and Lymington. He previously did procedure lists at Salisbury (2011-2014).
His particular area of expertise is Coronary Intervention. He regularly treats heart attack patients as well as more stable patients. This involves fixing the arteries that supply your heart with small balloons and metal scaffolds called 'stents'. He specialises in doing this through the artery in the wrist (radial artery) as it is safer and more comfortable for patients. He has a particular interest in opening arteries that have been blocked a long time (chronic total occlusions). He also has a specialist interest in a specialist procedure to treat high blood pressure (called renal denervation) and has set up this new service in Southampton. He also inserts pacemakers and does angiograms.
In addition to his procedure lists he also see's patients in clinic for evaluation of any symptoms that could be due to heart disease such as: breathlessness, chest pain, palpitations and blackouts. He is particularly interested in angina and new procedures to help this. He participates in a busy on-call rota for Southampton's heart attack service and does ward rounds. A majority of his work is NHS but he does see some patients privately at Southampton and Lymington. He participates in local research and education on a national level.
