I have been a patient of Dr Boon Lim at Hammersmith Hospital where he has treated me for persistent Atrial Fibrillation. Despite many cardioversions and two ablations, the condition stubbornly refused to go away. Dr Boon Lim decided to offer me a surgical ablation and, 11 months later, I am still free of symptoms. I am very grateful for his expertise, understanding and kind, courteous manner. He is a clever and seriously good doctor.

Since 1985, I had a cardiology problem with my heart palpitation. I have had seen so many cardiology`s doctors. None of them managed to identify the problem. In 2011 my GP referred me to Dr. Lim. In the beginning I thought he would be like the previous doctors, but very soon I realised I was wrong. He was the only doctors who really listen to me and my heart problem. He fully investigated the issue of the palpitation. I find him is an exception, delegate and caring doctor. Yesterday, 25/10/2017, I saw him again, and got the same service as 2011. I do trust him and I would highly recommend him. HE IS AN EXCEPTIONALLY EXCELLENT DOCTOR.

Dr Boon Lim is polite and charming, with the perfect 'bedside manner'. I first saw him at West Middlesex Hospital and he recommended me for the Imperial Avatar programme at Hammersmith for Atrial Fibrillation. He explained the ablation procedure in great detail and gave me the confidence I needed to proceed. I am most grateful to him for persuading me to have the ablation for 7 months later I have not had an episode of AF.

Wow! In the today's world when the most of the doctors are pushing drugs on us Dr Lim highly impressed me. He took his time to diagnose me with Vasovagal Syncope, he was efficient and the most importantly he was positive and optimistic from the minute I met him. I am going to try everything he suggested before I even think about taking a pill. His approach is very modern, fresh and caring. I felt listened and well looked after. He took his time to explain everything clearly to me. Dr Lim has great manners, he is super smart and down to earth. He made me feel comfortable and healthy! I highly recommend him. Thank you Dr Lim!
I also would like to thank his lovely secretary Debbie for being very helpful and kind.

After being ill for four months and seeing several different doctors/specialists I was (luckily!)recently referred to Dr Lim who has diagnosed me with POTS. I had a brilliant appointment with him in which he took the time to really explain my illness to me, answer any questions I had, and made me feel positive that I am now on the right track to getting healthy.
POTS is a rare and not very well know or understood illness, I really wish there were more Doctors with the same knowledge and understanding of it as Dr Lim!
I wish I had seen him sooner, and would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who suspects they have symptoms similar to POTS.
