Dr. Ahsan is the most compassionate healthcare professional I have had the pleasure of engaging with. He takes his time to convey complex medical information in a simple way, and takes care in setting expectations around potential diagnoses and treatment options. I can't thank him enough for his care.

I contacted Dr Ahsan to secure proper advice regarding treatment for atrial fibrillation and avoid treatment delays. A range of treatment options were considered. The advice received was excellent and the planned cardiac ablation procedure was very clearly explained. There were no post - procedure problems. Everything proceeded very smoothly which only reflects the skills of Dr Ahsan and his team. Furthermore, I very much appreciated the management and organisational skills of Lucy Nash, his Practice Manager. I now feel fully recovered and have none of the former symptoms.

I was given a thorough explanation of the procedure and after-care and the reality was exactly as expected. Dr Ahsan showed empathy and kindness at a time I found very stressful and scary. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Ahsan and have found the whole process to be reassuring and I am very glad to have him as my consultant for this procedure.

Dr Ahsan has been my cardiologist for the past eight years, ever since I experienced a sudden cardiac arrest. He operated on me twice and I have visited him for regular check ups. I have full confidence in his professional expertise. I have appreciated his accessibility, the clarity of his explanations, and the practicality of his advice. He is attentive and sympathetic and has supported me well during some serious health challenges.
