I found Dr Wilkinson very easy to understand and patient. He took time to listen to me and described fully what was happening and future treatment and was very reassuring. I was also impressed by the the way tests were carried out before my meeting with him by several excellent members of staff.

Dr Wilkinson made me feel as though he had time to listen to my concerns. He encouraged me to ask questions and I did not feel rushed or hurried.
This was my first appointment with him and from his first friendly greeting I felt relaxed and as though I was in safe hands.

The best Heart Dr.
Been treated twice and fitted Stents, really listens and couldn't be more helpful.
Had to see again recently and went above and beyond to give me piece of mind.
Definitely recommend

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.
