A big thank you to Dr Zaman and all his team . Over the last 6 months my husband has been seen by A&E, the cardiology department for echocardiograms , the day centre for treatment, out patients department and the cardiologist himself. At all the departments he has been treated with respect , loving care, kindness and although he has a memory problem understanding. At times the staff have been under pressure but they still smile all the way through those difficult times . My husband was recommended to have a cardioversion which he had at the day centre, followed up by a checkup a week later for an ECG which was done on Good Friday, his heart was back into a natural rhythm and after further check ups he has been told there is a massive improvement in his heart . He can now relax and enjoy his life once again . So a big thank you to Dr Zaman and all the staff who made it possible .

I have been a patient of Dr.Zaman since 2018, at every stage of my care my thoughts and feelings have been listened to and every change to my care explained and discussed. I was extremely ill with a viral infection which affected my heart and was not expected to survive and I beleive that it was due to the care and treatment I received from Dr. Zaman that I have improved to a point that I am now in remission! I now lead a normal fairly active life,able to walk for at least an hour without any fatigue or breathlessness,I garden, drive and maintain a classic sports car,I also care for my disabled wife. When Dr.Zaman moved from James Paget Hospital to West Suffolk,I saw his replacement who I did not feel the same level of confidence in so I contacted my GP and was referred to Dr.Zaman,who I continue to see.
