On behalf of my wife and myself, we wish to offer Dr Fox our grateful thanks for his 'restoration' with the pacemaker fitment and subsequent 'retune'. The results of his expertise have been excellent. After so many hospital visits with really no feedback on positive results - to get an instant diagnosis and positive information from Dr Fox was a revelation. It is a great pity that we had not known about him sooner!

Words cannot express how thankful I am for everything that Dr Fox has done. He has given me my life back. Before the procedures I could only have walked between 300-500 steps. Now I do an average of 8,000 -12,000 plus a day!. My life has changed so much from having the flutter ablation , I am back enjoying my sleep and gradening etc. I can now get on with my life and it has even helped me loose a stone in weight. Thank you so much Dr Fox.

I find Dr Fox's combination of affability and to-the-point professionalism very commendable. He engages with me fully, is a good listener and asks appropriate questions, proffering information that I - as a non-medical person - can understand, thus making me feel at ease.

I found Dr Fox to be very professional and thorough. My previous specialist retired and I came new to him. He made sure that he covered every aspect of my care and even liaised with the ENT consultant who was also treating me. I would wholeheartedly recommend him.

Dr Fox and I were both junior trainees some years ago and have maintained links since then. More recently, we share number of mutual patients, who are under my care with various hand and wrist problems and who have also been under the care of David Fox, with regards to their cardiological issues. Without fail, they all speak highly of Dr Fox. His approach to patient care is second to none. His patient care is thorough and his communication is always clear and direct. When any of my friends or family have required Cardiology review, David Fox has been the go to Cardiologist every time
