Read all on DoctifyFeedback meeting via video call. Very good and clear.
Dr Kirk is a first class cardiologist who I would recommend to anyone. I went to him when I needed a second opinion and his intervention of diagnosing angina probably saved my life. Very thorough and easy to understand. When I later had treatment his team were wonderful.

Written by patient at Pinehill Hospital
Friendly and professional, very helpful.
I thoroughly recommend this doctor. He has an excellent manner and is very prepared to listen and discuss my condition. He provided clear and thorough explanation and recommendations. Just what I wanted.
Written by patient at Spire Harpenden Hospital
Very personable and professional.
Dr Kirk was a hugely reassuring presence for me even though my symptoms were not serious, so I can imagine he would be very supportive for more serious conditions. He explained all my results clearly and concisely in layman's terms. I cannot fault his attention or care, and his administrator Sue was excellent and very responsive.
