Reviews
Dr Harding was very professional but also very kind and caring. He took the time to explain everything in detail and left me with a feeling of reassurance that my case was finally moving forward and in the right direction.
I would recommend anyone into Dr Harding's care.

I had an appointment with Dr Harding and I am so impressed with everything. Dr Harding took his time and asked lots of important questions. He was very thorough and explained everything to me and put my anxious mind at ease. We have a plan of further testing and we will take it from there. I couldn't chose a better cardiologist. Thank you!
I personally thanked Dr Harding for the first class care and treatment I received under his care. He made me feel comfortable and confident by explaining all. I understood his explanations and treatment plan completely.
I recently visited Dr Harding with suspected Atrial Fibrillation and I was very impressed with the entire appointment.
He asked lots of easy to understand questions and also listened to my concerns and queries.
He fully explained the condition in a way that I could follow and made me feel at ease with the situation.
I came away from the appointment feeling fully informed and confident that I had chosen the perfect consultant for my condition.
I received an email outlining my treatment path and a recap of our appointment the next day.
If you are in need of a cardiologist then look no further than Dr Harding.
I would also like to say how lovely his secretary Lisa was during the booking and follow up process.
I found Dr Harding to be very reassuring, polite and professional. He knows his stuff!
I suffered from A/F and was recommended for an Ablation at Kings College.
Dr Harding and his team were just brilliant and I’m so grateful for their care and attention
