Alexander House Private Medical Practice

Dr. Roberts is a great cardiologist. Ive been through a really challenging treatment and Dr. Roberts has been very diliigent and compassionate and was always available in emergencies. He once called me from his vacation in France to discuss my ECG results so I could have peace of mind. He also takes his time with patients and answers all questions patiently. Can highly recommend him!

Regarding Treatment by DR ROBERTS 2 May 2018 I had a course of 30 EECP treatments in April 2017. Previous to that I had an angiogram administered by an NHS unit in the Southwest. On that day I was sent into a very cold room with inadequate clothing that had me shivering. The doctor was abrupt and rude. He seemed agitated and spoke to me only at the end of the procedure saying you think you need a stent but you need a triple by-pass and with that I never spoke to him again. There was no consultation and no advice. When I persisted with trying to get advice and a prognosis, I was told that my notes had been sent to another hospital where the operation would occur. I rang that hospital and was told that I was not on their list and I would have to wait. At that point I thought two things my instinct said that I was not as serious as the doctor had said and that the cuts had so injured the wellbeing of the staff and procedures of the NHS, I needed to seek another opinion. In my research I discovered Dr Robin Roberts, EECP and the work of Alexander House in Wimbledon. The initial contact was kind, considerate and reassuring. I was giving an almost immediate appointment in which I met Dr Roberts. He sat me down next to him and showed me the angiogram that he had got hold of, frame-by-frame. Carefully he described how the administering doctor had made three mistakes in the procedure, which was why he had concluded I needed major surgery. Dr Roberts arranged for me to have what he described as the definitive test to decide what level of intervention I needed pharmaceuticals, by-pass or stenting surgery or EECP. Once the results were clear, he recommended the EECP course. I was delighted that I needed neither life long drugs nor surgery at the point and that at last I had a complete picture of my condition, carefully explained in simple lay terms. The EECP, which is not an intervention into the body is a painless although tiring procedure. The nurses were attentive , considerate, appropriate and kind. We talked and laughed during the process. Dr Roberts occasionally popped in to see if I was all right. Every nuance of change I felt I was reassured about. Dr Roberts said that usually around the 20th treatment people experience a positive change and yes, on the evening of the 20th I suddenly felt an improvement. After the procedure, I felt my condition had improved and in December of 2017 I suddenly felt even better. Again in February there was another improvement. Presently I am on the lowest dose beta-blocker and statin but I believe this will not be necessary in the future. I can say that for the moment I am perhaps 90% improved which, without major surgery, is an extraordinary relief and delight. I believe that Dr Roberts is one of those rare doctors willing to support science which historically has always been about 20 years in advance of medical practice in favour of new and effective practices even in the face of close-mindedness by the medical establishment. The one worrying thing in this is that I had the strength to confront the system, but I am left wondering how many people have unnecessary medical interventions? Needless to say, I have no idea if in the future my situation will get better or worse, nor can one know if it is appropriate for them. None the less, my physical condition is now clearly much improved and I can only say that any patient facing serious open heart surgery or stenting would do well to look into EECP.

Ex partner was misdiagnosed, doctor refused to acknowledge his mistake and now wont take any calls or emails. This clinic has lying, unethical staff and the doctor is arrogant and dangerous. Avoid.
