I was referred to a cardiologist by my GP because I had developed an irregular heartbeat. I was seen by Dr Kahn very quickly and was very impressed by his manner, felt very much at ease with him. He explained clearly what tests he wanted carried out and these were arranged very quickly and the results fully explained to myself and my doctor.

I have been under the care of Dr.Matthew Kahn now for almost 12 months. He fitted me with an up-Graded pacemaker in June last year and I have every confidence in him and his staff.I have received excellent care and after care and he still sees me every 3-6 months.

I was transferred to DrKhan by another cardiologist for him to fit me with a pace maker. At my initial appointment the need and workings were detailed and fully explained.Prior to the procedure he explained precisely how he was going to perform the procedure and put me at ease. I was introduced to all the staff and had complete faith in their expertise. Following the fitting he took due note of my symptoms and explained the reasons to ease any anxiety. He and his team organised regular attendance at his clinic to ensure optimum operation of the device and that I was in the best possible health. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dr Khan as a highly competent and caring cardiologist.

I would certainly feel safer and happier should any further scheduled or unscheduled surgery be required, if Dr Matt Kahn carried it out. Many many thanks for your care, skill and professionalism.
