Dr Phang Boon Lim is an extremely experienced, respectful and very well qualified person. He provided me with advice regarding the symptom of my arrhythmia and reassurance that my arrhythmia is not life threatening. He used simple words and even drawings to make me understand what my situation is. My daughter and I still can't believe how lucky we are to meet such a skilled but also kind, caring and wonderful person. Having visited a lot of doctors in Greece, we can honestly say that we trust him 100% and in our opinion he is the best in the Cardiology field in Europe. We are very grateful to him and we will visit him again for a consultation for my mother. We highly recommend him! Thank you very much Dr Lim!!

If you are unfortunate enough to have a malfunctioning heart and need a Cardiologist you want to know you are being treated by a very well qualified, extremely experienced, kind and caring one. Dr Lim is all that and more. He is involved in research and teaching so has access to the latest information on treatments for a wide variety of conditions. He doesn’t give up searching for answers to treat complex conditions and not only provides the clinical care you need but is great at explaining what is going on which makes things a lot easier to deal with. My heart has been causing problems for quite a while and it is a huge relief to me having Dr Lim working hard on my behalf. I know I couldn’t get better care.

I have now had two consultations with Dr Boon Lin and my husband was present on both occasions.. Our shared opinion is as follows: We cannot praise him more highly. He patiently listened to my concerns; explained the answers in both medical and laymen’s terms and answered my follow-up questions in an understandable way. Importantly, my welfare was of more concern to him than the consultation time. I could say that I felt I was important. During the second consultation, he took the time to speak personally to a consultant at another hospital, to further my investigation. Today, totally out of the blue, he telephoned me to see how I was progressing. Given that six months had elapsed since my last consultation, It is not even something that would have happened in the private sector, let alone the NHS. In the telephone call today, he was both patient and compassionate and even provided what I would interpret as counselling. If the NHS has any “Human Photocopying Machines”, they would do well if they had a Dr, Boon Lin at every hospital. Carole Savidge

Phang Boon Lim was extremely respectful, good natured and attentive throughout my appointment. He took time to listen carefully to my symptoms and helped me to piece together an understanding of what is causing them. He provided thorough advice regarding managing symptoms and I left the appointment feeling positive about moving forwards with a better understanding of my condition. I would be delighted to see him again if that became necessary and would recommend him without hesitation to other patients

I have seen Dr Lim both as a private patient and was then lucky enough to see him under the NHS. He has provided a diagnosis, treatment plan, and also and as importantly has the people skills that I feel are integral to treatment : reassurance, recognition that even tho some conditions are not life threatening or limiting they can still effect quality of life, and one is able to ask questions. Having seen him previously at the end of a long and crowded clinic at Hammersmith, I reflected on how lucky we are to have our NHS and to attract such skilled and compassionate medics from all corners of the world.
