He is a prominent figure in his field, serving as a regular faculty member at leading arrhythmia conferences and as co-director of the European Heart Rhythm Association’s Ventricular Tachycardia Course. He is also the founding chairman of the London Ventricular Tachyarrhythmia Symposium, an annual event launched in 2010, and director of the Advanced Ventricular Arrhythmia Training and Research (AVATAR) program at St George’s University Hospital.

Dr Saba has been really great. He is very clear and direct and very good at explaining everything so it’s easy for me to understand. I particularly liked how he used objects to visually explain the ablation to me. He was very upfront and honest about the procedure including all the risks which was really good. I felt safe under his duty of care and his team which made the experience nothing but a pleasure.

Professor Saba explains the treatment he will give. I was awake during the procedure and I felt in such good hands. Hard to say much more but I would have no reservation in recommending Professor Saba.

I am a long term patient of Dr Saba who has I believe been exceptional in looking after my heart treatment, in conjunction with Dr TP Chua, for a number of years.
He has always been clear with me in his diagnosis of my heart conditions and in discussing the options available, together with the likely outcome and quality of life, before I have made any decisions on procedures.
After a few of years of routine checks I now need a further procedure and I have complete faith in it being carried out by Dr Saba.

Dr Saba treats you like an intelligent human. He listens and explains. He is also first class at what he does and thinks and analyses outside-the-box. When I had complications a week after surgery he personally intervened at Kingston Hospital who misdiagnosed the cause of my tachycardia and spoke to me, reassured me and sorted out the necessary medication which resolved the problem. I recommend him very highly.
