My dad is elderly and has a very complex heart and medical history. Dr. Farooqi spent his own time reading all the very lengthy hospital letters and notes that I sent him. He is very knowledgeable and gave some life-saving advice.
Dr. Farooqi gave a detailed plan of action for my dad’s GP to follow which we are incredibly grateful for. He went over and above to answer all of our questions and explained everything in a very clear manner. He was also kind and friendly and helped to alleviate our many worries. We are extremely thankful for all his help. I would highly recommend Dr. Farooqi to anyone who has heart problems, the quality of medical care that he provided was absolutely outstanding!

I was seen by Dr Farooqi while doing his morning rounds in the ward. An observation not only when dealing with me but all the patients in the ward. A very thorough Consultant in the way he took time to explain the diagnosis in detail and the actions required. Lucky to be seen by him and an excellent consultant for junior doctors to follow. No hesitation in taking calls personally while on his rounds to handle urgent cases and arrange actions as required. Taking care to continue his rounds where he left. Thank you Dr Farooqi and sorry for so many questions including some that were not within your expertise.

Dr Farooqi is probably one of the most polite and considerate doctors I have ever confided in. When I presented with an extremely worrying condition, he spent a consdierable time listening to my concerns and then examined me thoroughly. His mannerism was very empathetic and he genuinely wanted to reassure me that the best outcome would be achieved. He sent me to the correct pathway in diagnosis and his attention to detail was outstanding. When my results came back, he was keen to see me quickly to discuss the scans and subsequent action plans. Fortunately my outcome were very positive and he carefully explained everything in detail. He went on to provide me with advice about my future lifestyle and preservation of health which I felt was over and beyond my expectations.
I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking reassurances or advice from a cardiologist. His experience shone through during my assessments.

We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation for the kindness and excellent care Dr Farooqi has provided in taking care of my mother. I am overwhelmed with his support, understanding and communication. It is the best care mum has ever received from a Consultant. Dr Farooqi's support has given me every strength I need to ensure my mum is in good hands and we can manage her to avoid attending A&E. Though my care responsibilities are high whilst being on a full time employment, I am able to liaise with Dr Farooqi as he never fails to get back. This is amazing and it really has made a big difference on my stress level. Dr Farooqi is extremely efficient and hard working. He is very proactive and able to spare time, communicate with all the doctors my mum is under and make all necessary arrangements even when he may be extremely busy. I really cannot compliment him enough as he is superb and extremely knowledgeable. If only every Consultant cared the same way, NHS would be top rated. I honestly feel it is an outstanding support any patient can receive. I never expected this from NHS Consultant. He is Simply The Best and I pray Dr Faooqi is recognised for all his genuine care, knowledge, patience, communication and effort. Thank you Dr Farooqi.
