My elderly mother visited Dr Wilkinson with me and my father today. He treated them both with the greatest of gentleness, kindness and respect not always given to elderly patients. He asked searching questions and listened to my parents' responses very patiently. Dr Wilkinson was very thorough in his testing and observations and we left the consultation with a clear understanding of the nature of the health problem, the decisions that needed to be made and a plan of care and interventions. I am very pleased that my mother is now under his care and would have no hesitation in recommending Dr Wilkinson to other patients.

On the 6th March 2015 I visited the cardiovascular & thoracic outpatient dept for the first time and I liked the efficient check-in process.
The two tests (ECG & Echocardiogram) which were carried out by the nurses, were completed in a friendly, courteous and efficient way which removed any apprehension I may have felt. Shortly after the test I met Dr James Wilkinson who I found to be an excellent communicator. He fully explained the test results in a clear and concise way. He is friendly, approachable and open. He listened to my concerns and gave me some very useful advice on moving forward with my health. This was a very positive experience both of the consultation and the NHS.

Very pleased to have my case dealt with by Dr Wilkinson. He is a very personable man and I felt immediately at ease with him. He explained to me in a way that I understood what my problem had been and how I would be followed up with an appointment in a years time. He listened to my concerns and answered them all with patience and understanding. Taking everything into consideration I was totally satisfied with my consultation.

The whole consultation was carried out in a friendly and efficient manner. I did not feel rushed in any way and my queries and comments made were listened to and answered in a straightforward way.
I was pleased to learn that I will receive a copy of the report that will be sent to my doctor.

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.
