Dr Elliot Smith, Consultant Cardiologist

Personal treatment philosophy:

"Communication and patient choice are key. In a complex specialty I believe it is essential to ensure that all patients fully understand their diagnosis and treatment, the rationale for any investigations, interventions, or operations, and of course the results. Cardiology patients have more options available than ever before. I will provide you with the evidence and information you need so that together we can plan the best strategy."
