Dr Joseph Davar 2019-01-13 Person 5 5 0

I was a fit middle aged male with a healthy lifestyle. In April 2018 I went to A&E with chest pains. After a night spent under observation I was sent home and was told it was indigestion. About 3 weeks later my resting heart rate was still stuck at around 80 bpm (normally it was 53bpm). My GP could not explain it and recommended I go to a cardiologist. I booked an appointment with Dr Davar. Within about 5 minutes of meeting him he had diagnosed that my aortic valve was almost completely destroyed - I was immediately admitted to intensive care where an MRI revealed that this was as a result of a dissected aorta. I had an 8 hour heart op the very next day. The surgeon could not emphasize enough as to just how lucky I was to survive. Dr Davar's direction had saved my live. The process of recuperation has been long and Dr Davar has been simply fantastic. He is able to articulate so very clearly what is going on, evidence to me of somebody who truly understands what he is talking about. He has been wonderfully reassuring and has been a great listener. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Davar to anybody who is looking for a first class cardiologist.
