I found the whole experience from reception through the ECG and ECO sound test and my meeting with Dr J Wilkinson to be of the highest standards and a credit to our National Health Service. Dr. Wilkinson and his staff are to be commended for their professionalism in all areas.

The confident leader of a professional cardiology team, giving dedicated assistance. Following open heart surgery in 1992 and a further three (3) stents 2009 and a failed stress test 2013 I was referred to Dr Wilkinson who explained my problem, showed me on screen and proceeded following my approval to insert a single stent. Can't fault the care and consideration given. Manny thanks for the dedicated help and excellent service.
They work under great pressure manny of us too few of them, greater investment in the NHS, this is where the expertise lies not private medicine!!

Not only did he listen to me after the procedure but realised I was watching the procedure on the screen as it was happening and put my mind at ease as to what was happening. He came to see me on the ward and explained all that had happened and kept me informed as to my progress and discharge date.
I felt that I was always treated as a person not just another procedure.

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.
