Mr Neil Roberts

Written by a patient at The Harley Street Clinic

I am a medical researcher who is not a medic. I would therefore never trust any doctor totally - they can all make mistakes and medicine is a less precise technology than, say, engineering. That said, my experience of being given a triple by-pass by Neil Roberts was excellent. Technically the operation appeared to go extremely well, and certainly an echocardiogram done several months post-operation showed the heart to be functioning very well. Also I had very little, if any, pain post-operatively and no post-operative confusion. I was also very impressed by two other aspects of the care I received from Neil Roberts. First, I was particularly concerned about research, I knew of, published ten years ago that indicated that heart surgery conducted in the 80s and 90s could lead to cognitive impairment in quite a high proportion of cases. Neil Roberts explained to me very clearly before the operation, why advances in technique over the intervening twenty years had made the risk of such side effects much lower. And I certainly had no such complications even as early as after recovery from the general anaesthetic. Secondly Mr Roberts and his anaesthetist both called in to check my progress on a daily basis following the operation. I found their manner both very supportive and highly professional.

My husband saw Mr Roberts in Dec 2013 at The London Heart Hospital before services were transferred to Barts. He and his team were fantastic - acting very quickly on an urgent case. My husband had a large atrial myxoma discovered only when it was life threatening. Mr Roberts was professional, calm and brilliant with both my husband and my family. Thoroughly recommend.

My whole experience of cardiac surgery was excellent. Mr Roberts informed me prior to coming to hospital about the procedure and aftercare, taking time to make sure I understood and so allaying my natural anxiety. His care was exemplary and Mr Roberts answered by email or phone any questions I had after my discharge from hospital. Six months are having my aortic valve replaced I feel totally well and do not require any further medication. The scar left on my chest after surgery is minimal and very neat - an important detail for a female patient!

Mr Roberts gave me complete confidence,and he is a very friendly and caring surgeon. He visited me almost every day in the clinic, and I know I could not have made a better choice of surgeon.
