Poor service. Wrote to ask if Dr Lim could provide a second opinion on three specific areas. Waited three days - no response. Called his private secretary. No response. Emailed his private secretary to find out whether Dr Lim would give said second opinion and received a reply email saying I could have a consultation, but no confirmation he could give the second opinion based on the criteria requested. Why pay £300 for a consultation to be potentially told in the first minute he can't (or won't) help. That's not good patient service.

Response from Dr Phang Boon Lim
I am terribly sorry to have let you down, by not responding prior to your request for a consultation. Due to the current busy period with planning for post-covid era of service delivery, it has been more difficult that usual to manage clinic time, and address emails in timely manner, with the focus on generating a safe and effective alternative to usual streams of work within the NHS. My most sincere apologies again and I do hope that you have found an answer to your questions elsewhere. Best wishes. BL

Dr Boon Lim projects confidence, competence and caring. Talking to him by phone after weeks of COVID-19 lockdown was a revelation for my wife and I. I feel in safe hands.

Dr Phang Boon Lim is truly one of the greatest physicians of his time.
The personal attention to detail he displays is an indication of the sincere care he gave to me.
I was, at first, hesitant and unsure as to whether or not to proceed with the treatment he prescribed. He took a great deal of his very valuable time to persuade me that it was in my best interests to follow his advice.
I am so very glad I did and I will always be most grateful to this great man, who leads a dedicated professional team at the wonderful Hammersmith Hospital.

Dr Boon Lim is a gentle and respectful consultant. The first time I met Dr Boon Lim was as an out patient eight years ago. On that occasion and at every appointment since, he has taken time to listen to my concerns, ensure that I understood the problems that related to the condition of my heart, the likely journey of different medication and procedures ahead and the hoped for outcome.
The way Dr Boon Lim works is the way his team works. There is focus, time given to patients as needed, in an atmosphere of calm and kindness.
