Review

Ā 

I first consulted Dr Roberts in February 2020 to ask if he would arrange a 14-day continuous ECG monitor (Ziopatch) to check on my occasional atrial fibrillation. I was so impressed at the way he handled this request that I asked if he would be my consultant on cardiac issues. In the last year he organised a CT coronary angiogram which revealed some degree of narrowing in my cardiac arteries, of which I was completely unaware. He organised further specialist tests, including one in the US, which showed that my artery walls were very flexible and the narrowing did not present a significant impediment to arterial flow. He also recommended a course of ECP, a non-invasive approach to improving the quality of my arterial endothelial lining which has been widely shown to improve cardiac efficiency. Dr Roberts has an interesting range of qualities, which have more than justified my request that he look after my cardiac issues. He has an impressive knowledge of cardiac treatments and the latest research in both the UK and the US. He is very efficient in assessing and organising the required treatments, and providing detailed follow up and reporting to me. Equally important, his ā€œbedside mannerā€ is all you could ask for - very patiently and clearly listening to and communicating with the patient. As a result of my experience in the past year my wife is also now a patient, and is very pleased with the reassuring tests he organised for her.

Dr Roberts was entirely professional in every way. His evident breadth and depth of knowledge gave me the confidence to put my trust in his suggested course of treatment. He also explained things to me in a way that enabled me to understand not only what my diagnosis was but also how the suggested course of treatment was the right one going forward. I travel over two hours to his practice and am very happy to do this knowing that I have found the right person to treat me. I would highly recommend him and would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank him for what he has done for me and as a result of his treatment for my family.

Dr. Roberts has literally been a lifesaver. Without his care, I cannot imagine what would have happened. He is kind, considerate, and has always taken the time to listen carefully to me without making me feel that I am under any type of time pressure. I would recommend him 100% thank you Dr. Roberts for all you have done for me and my family.

Robin Roberts has treated me and several members of my family over the years, some with live threatening conditions. He is both intuitive and thorough in all his consultations. The last consultation I had with him was just after Christmas and out of hours via zoom. He was able to diagnose exactly what was wrong immediately and direct me to the correct emergency care. Everything he said was consequently confirmed when I got to the hospital. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to anyone.

Do not hesitate to see Dr Roberts. I saw Dr Roberts after having suffered bewildering and distressing symptoms for 10 years without having been given a diagnosis despite having seen many consultants in that period. I left my consultation with Dr Roberts with both a diagnosis (microvascular angina) and a treatment, which was unbelievably fantastic. By way of treatment, I have received several courses of external counterpulsation at Dr Roberts' clinic, a non-invasive treatment that I have even been able to sleep through and which has transformed my life. Dr Roberts' clinic has always been extremely accommodating in fitting in with my scheduling preferences for treatment. Before seeing Dr Roberts, I had undergone numerous scans and tests, not all of them pleasant, instigated by doctors who seemed to have no idea what was wrong with me. It was a great relief with Dr Roberts that he understood the symptoms I described and knew what they signified, enabling me to proceed directly to an effective treatment lacking side effects worse than transient skin lesions. (For completeness, I should stress that Dr Roberts did explain that I could have diagnostic tests but I didn't want them and Dr Roberts understood that I did not want him to press the point). In addition to formal consultations, Dr Roberts has without charge provided ongoing telephone and email advice. Dr Roberts has a small suite of 2 rooms rented at the south end of Harley Street, conveniently close to Kings Cross station for my purposes. In all fairness, these are not the most luxurious consulting rooms in London but I don't go there to admire the decor and I have huge gratitude for the medical services that have been delivered to me there. I have no hesitation in recommending Dr Roberts.

Response from the doctor - Thank you for leaving such detailed feedback, ECP is not that well known even amongst cardiologists and it is great to hear that your microvascular angina was effectively treated using ECP. We will look into a facelift for the London site - we appreciate your honesty. Best wishes The Cardiac Clinic Admin team.

Whatever is wrong with you he will find it ! Sometimes the results are not what you want to hear, but he will make sure that you receive the best care. I recommend him very highly.

Response from the doctor - Thank you for taking the time to provide such lovely feedback, Best wishes The Cardiac Clinic Admin team

Robin has advised a number of my relatives and friends on their cardiac health. I am a hospital consultant myself and trust him implicity. I have also referred a number of patients to him. He is one of the most caring and knowledgeable doctors I have ever met.

Response from the doctor - Thank you for this recommendation.
