Explanation

Upon seeking a second opinion for some debilitating palpitations, courtesy of Google and various review platforms, I came across Dr Malcolm Finlay. I liked the fact that apart from his obvious proven expertise, skill in cardiac electrophysiology and pioneering innovations, other patients had commented on his personable attitude, clear communication and listening skills which was important to me in order to seek potential treatment options. I would highly recommend Dr Finlay to anyone and completely agree with all those reviews. From the outset he displayed empathy for my symptoms and was committed to doing everything possible to try and help me. He has a very proactive approach, thinks outside the box and formulates a plan together. Being a complex case he made it clear the desired result might not be achieved and pointed out the risks but I also knew he would not be performing an invasive procedure on me if he did not think a reasonable chance of a positive outcome would be met. Despite his abilities he is a very modest individual and prioritises the safety of his patients. He is supported by a highly trained team to assist him with state of the art facilities and my cardiac EP study and ablation procedure went successfully to plan which was a relief. At the time of writing I am now symptom free.

Dr Finlay explained a complicated subject in very simple terms that I could understand and relate to. Including the difficult subject of ‘risk’.

Thank you for highlighting this - I always find risk is a tricky thing for us to understand. I'm glad to hear that my explanations were useful.

Dr Finlay was so helpful and welcoming. From the initial consultation he explained matters thoroughly, and in an easy to understand way. I was never pressurised to make a decision. On the day of the procedure he explained everything and put me at my ease. He made a stressful and worrisome condition and subsequent procedure so much easier. I would highly recommend him.

Dr Finlay gave me every reason to feel full confidence in him. He was very clear and direct in explaining his interpretation of my medical status, and did so in a very sympathetic way. He immediately came up with a plan for the way forward, and made sure that the necessary practical arrangements were in place. I am very happy that I was referred to him.

Explanation

I had atrial fibrillation and was advised to see Dr Malcolm Finlay for a consultation. From the moment we spoke I felt very much at ease which is exactly what was needed. He was very to the point in an honest but caring way . He thought an Ablation was the best way forward . The operation I am pleased to say was a complete success. A big thank you to Malcolm and his team.

Having cardiac issues is not easy to live with. I cannot recommend Dr Finlay enough - he is not only super competent and knowledgeable but is also supportive, understanding, kind and proactive in helping me manage my condition, treatment and anxieties. He always takes time, always explains things in an accessible way and has been faultless in his care of me.
