I see Dr Westwood every 3 or so years following a minor cardiac event. He is always courteous and friendly and most importantly extremely knowledgeable. He explains things well and the whole process of review MRI etc is as painless as it could be. Many thanks

I needed to see a Cardiologist urgently, and Dr Westwood, and his efficient secretary, quickly arranged an appointment for the following day. It was clear that he understood the situation at the appointment, and arranged for 2 important tests to be done while I was still at the clinic. Once the results were available, he explained his findings and the follow up options clearly and sent me a letter setting it all out. He was very helpful and responded to my request for advice in thoughtful way, appreciating the position I was in.

Extraordinarily prompt consultation. Very approachable manner and excellent at explaining what an MRI scan would involve and what it could detect. Listened to my problems and concerns, and made me feel confident in his judgment. Very efficient service and scan at One Welbeck and then excellent follow up consultation from Dr Westwood where he again went out of his way to explain what had or had not been seen and what it meant. Must also mention his medical secretary Michelle who was ultra efficient and very helpful throughout. Would have no hesitation recommending Dr Westwood.

Dr Mark Westwood is probably one of the best doctors I have come across. He is knowledgeable on his subject and more importantly gets to know his patients and genuinely cares about their wellbeing. He makes you feel at ease and takes thorough time to answer questions. He quickly arranged the appropriate tests and quickly fed back the results. An outstanding doctor and gentleman who is clearly one of the best in his field. I would also like to say his medical secretary Michelle is fantastic with fantastic communications and ensure all necessary arrangements are made quickly. Thank you !
