Professional, thorough, attentive consultation. Not patronising or dismissive, which is quite refreshing these days! A credit to our health system. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr Wilkinson.

Very reassuring - if I had any comment it would be maybe to take a tiny bit more time - consultation had a slightly rushed feel

This was my first meeting with Dr Wilkinson to discuss a heart operation. Dr Wilkinson explained things clearly and concisely. I had no concerns about being in his care and am confident about my pending surgery.
My only suggestion for improving care - I am inclined to stress and the fact that the clinic was running late and no-one said anything, this made me anxious. I would have been reassured if the nurses had explained why I was late being called for my appointment.

Discussed my health in open and plain language without complicated medical terms. He answered all my questions and even showed me the video of the insertion of the stent. This gives great confidence.
I would also like to say that my treatment by him and his team when I had a heart attack could not have been better. My family and I were kept fully informed of my progress throughout and once again all questions however difficult answered fully.

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.
