Dr Wilkinson asked me about my health since my last visit in the spring. He listened carefully to what I said. He then examined me, discussed his proposals for my ongoing treatment and was careful to make sure I understood his findings.The consultation was held in a relaxed manner with opportunities for me to ask questions. Dr Wilkinson said he would see me in a years time and I left the clinic feeling encouraged and reassured by the treatment I had recieved.

I have been treated by Dr Wilkinson from May 2014 until today March 2017 for cardiac problems. I have found him to be extremely helpful he always listeners to your concerns and answer any questions to the best of his ability, sometimes using drawings to help explain the answer.
I think he is a superb Consultant and would recommend him without any reservation.

Dr Wilkinson has a very pleasant manner, puts you at ease and gives you confidence in his skills through the way he explains the problem and the solution. I was amazed that such heart surgery could be carried out under local anaesthetic and I was encouraged by being given 'before' and 'after' pictures after the operation showing the amazing improvement in the blood flow through my heart. This less invasive procedure also led to quicker recovery.
I am very grateful for the excellent treatment I received from Dr Wilkinson and would be very happy to recommend him to others.

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.
