Dr.Wilkison talked to me and answered all my questions regarding my problem in a comprehensive and informative manner. I felt at ease talking to him and felt confident at the end of the consultation that I was in the hands of an experienced professional in his field of cardiology. I liked to be able to put across to him my concerns and he seemed genuinely attentive and interested in me as a patient and human being.
The Lymington hospital seems to have got outpatient systems well organised and the whole experience with my appointment was streamlined.
I left feeling as though I could progress with confidence to the next stage of investigations and I will be in good hands.

Dr Wilkinson put my mind at rest over what could be an emotional time. His information sharing was clear and concise and he was very open to answering any and all questions. During our consultation I can say that he was very much focussed on me and my needs and not just my problem.
I can thoroughly recommend Dr Wilkinson.

Good listening skills to my description of my health issues. Sought clarification where necessary to fully understand total problem. Clearly spelt out next steps to resolve problem and promptly implemented actions to progress solution. Agreed longer term follow up meetings to review progress.

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.
