Review
Dr Idris Harding was able to restore activity to an 88 year old male. The whole process from the first interview then testing and diagnostics and explanation of the options and costings was relaxed and informative. The insertion of the Pacemaker with the help of the excellent KIMS team led by Dr Harding, for me, was a very 'smooth' experience. The subsequent Procedure Report explained the operation very well and helped me understand the process. At the Post Op appointment the on-going remote monitoring was explained. Future patients will be very fortunate to be in the care of Dr Harding.

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. Anton Gasteiger

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 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
