Cardiac Surgical Opinion

Being told you may need heart surgery is not something to sit with for weeks. NHS waiting times for cardiac surgery can run to many months — first for the consultation, then again for the operation. If you'd rather not wait, WellHeart offers a faster route to answers.

You see a consultant cardiac surgeon within days — the surgeon who would carry out your operation — for an unhurried review of your diagnosis and the options genuinely open to you. Where imaging is needed, it's carried out and reported in-house by our consultant cardiac radiologist, so your case is assessed with the full picture in one place, without waiting on referrals between separate teams.

Because the specialists who image, assess and treat you already work as one team, the delays built into ordinary care — the hand-offs, the queues between departments — simply aren't there. If you choose to proceed, your treatment is planned around your timing, not a waiting list.

A clear diagnosis, a considered plan, and a decision made quickly — with the surgeon who would see it through.
