I would defenitely recommend Mr. Alex Shipolini, a top skilled surgeon. I had a Septal Mectomy and other procedures on 27June 2025. So grateful and so lucky to have had him as the surgeon together with his caring team. He visited me prior to my op, to explain the planned procedure...also his visits posts op to check on my wellbeing. I am currently recovering well and feel that my Second Lease on LIFE has been nenewed . Thumbs up to all the staff at The King George V section, the 4A & 4C wards. Another shout out for the ICU staff who in their professional care, were so helpful & understanding . 5 STARS also go to all @ BARTS HOSPITAL- London

Mr Alex Shipolini is a highly skilled surgeon who is the top of his field. If you ever have him as a surgeon, you truly will be lucky to be under such great care. He has performed 2 open heart surgeries on me over my lifetime. The first when I was in my 60s and the second in my 80s. The second one was incredibly complex and performed as an emergency as a TAVI that I had put in, moved and ruptured my aorta. The operation for my TAVI was not performed by Mr Shipolini. Mr Shipolini removed the TAVI, performed a CAGB and did an aortic valve replacement. I am now approaching my 85th birthday and I'm still alive! I walk everyday unaided and I am incredibly happy. I definitely owe my life to him twice over. Mr Shipolini has extended my life and given me many extra years to enjoy with my family. I will forever be grateful and indebted to him. What a wonderful, caring surgeon. I would highly recommend him to others.

I really cannot thank mr shipolini and the entire team enough. The huge surgery he performed so efficiently on my father will leave us forever in his debt. My lovely dad has done everything he could in the last 20 years to extend his life expectancy and improve his heart health. Unfortunately genetics and an earlier uninformed lifestyle took its toll. When he was 58 when I was pregnant with my second child, my darling dad had a heart attack. It was devastating but luckily my dad recovered. What the team doesn’t know is that my dad wasn’t just a dad to me. My partner died of a genetic heart condition FH at the age 37. I was 34 with a 10,4 and 1 year old. My dad stepped into the father figure role and really guided my children when they needed someone they could depend on. What they also didn’t officially know but my dad probably told them is that I’m a healthcare professional and I also work for Bart’s health. I’ve never been more proud to work for such a fantastic organisation. I know there will come a time when we have to let my dad go but it’s not immediately now and we have the amazing staff at Bart’s to thank for that. Please make my review public, please let me shout from the highest hill how amazing I think you all are and how i can never thank you all enough. You are all angels, this Christmas will be extra special along with every extra minute we have with husband, grandad and to me, my most fabulously amazing dad. Thank you for fixing not only his broken heart but all of ours too

Twenty one years ago today Mr Shipolini saved my life after performing a bypass operation and my family and I are eternally grateful for what he did. I live a a full and active life and will never forget Mr Shipolini’s skill and kindness not only to me but also to my family. Thankyou is not an adequate word but I mean it sincerely.
