Dr Matthew Ginks 2016-10-25 Person 5 5 0

Following a TIA in September 2013 I was referred to the Arrhythmia Clinic. Dr Matthew Ginks performed my first atrial ablation in April 2014. Unfortunately, I was a difficult customer and two more ablations were undertaken. It appeared I was in the 5% that couldn't be sorted by the procedure. Matthew discussed the options of having a pacemaker for this stubborn heart. In August of this year he inserted a pacemaker and on 19th October performed an AV Node Ablation. We both believe the symptoms will now cease and this last procedure is a success. Since the very first moment of meeting Dr Matthew Ginks I have had the utmost confidence in him. His medical expertise, concern for my welfare, wisdom, care, consideration and patience has been consistent with a determination to achieve the very best outcome for me. I consider myself extremely lucky to have had him as my Consultant. Matthew has always been available to answer questions (and there have been many), explain procedures in detail, and really wanted to ensure I understood possible outcomes and be as comfortable as possible before, during and after the procedures. The procedure team lead by Matthew have been reassuring, fun but totally professional and efficient as were the supporting care of the day unit. I shall always be grateful to them for making me comfortable and calm on each visit. I do not think I can make any suggestions to improve care. Thank you Jeanette B
