Professor Finlay has looked after me through the treatment EP and ablations and I honestly couldn't have asked for better care. Dealing with a heart condition is stressful at the best of times but he made an enormous difference, taking the time to explain each step clearly and giving me real confidence at every stage. His expertise is obvious and with genuine warmth and reassurance, which matters enormously when I'm the patient. The whole team around him was excellent too. I'm hugely grateful and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone needing a cardiologist or electrophysiologist.

Dr Finlay was incredibly helpful in my initial consultation with him. Not only was he very expert in his field but compassionate and an excellent communicator too. I came away with a clear understanding of my options and how to evaluate them. I can't recommend him highly enough.
