If I could give doctor Ashan a higher than 5 star review I would. At only 20 years old to have a problem with your heart is rather scary but from my first consultation with him I felt absolutely totally at ease and trusted him 100%. Everything was always fully explained and was told if I had any further questions to contact him. I would recommend him highly.

I write on behalf of my mother, who was very kindly referred by her cardiology consultant at UCLH to be seen by Dr Ahsan in the Department of Arrhthymia Services last November, 2017. I apologise profusely for the delay in submitting this feedback following the first consultation with Dr Ahsan on 9 November 2017, which I attended along with my mother. We were extremely impressed by, and grateful for, all aspects of the treatment and care received from Dr Ahsan. He had clearly fully digested all the earlier correspondence, ECGs etc arising out of my mother's care at UCLH. He questioned her closely on all her recent symptoms and episodes. He outlined most clearly and helpfully a range of possible hypotheses for her condition, and then put forward a series of possible diagnostic/treatment options, together with ramifications and possible theoretical risks. He listened carefully to our concerns and offered reassuring advice as to his current view and as to the way forward. He offered useful comment about my mother's current medication regime, and useful lifestyle recommendations. He kindly referred her for the fitting of an implantable loop recorder to monitor her symptoms, and he arranged for this to be carried out most promptly, in December 2017. During the November consultation, Dr Ahsan answered all our questions most fully and helpfully. He was extremely kind, sensitive and respectful in his manner towards us. He wrote an extremely detailed, helpful and reassuring follow-up letter. We are very much looking forward to my mother's follow-up consultation with him tomorrow.

After suffering from a heart condition for a number of years I was very happy to meet Dr Ahsan, from the first consultation where he believed there was a solution I have now completed the surgery and had my final consultation with him today. The surgery has been a success and everything Dr Ahsan said would happen from start to finish went just as he said it would. I cannot thank Dr Ahsan and the NHS enough. It is truly remarkable what doctors can do these days and we are all incredibly lucky to have such a service caring for us.

Im 43, mum of two. I work full time. I was suffering a heart arrhythmia. I had this condition for many years, visited few doctors, was given some medication but my condition never improved. On few occasions I had to be taken by ambulance to hospital. My life was very difficult. I felt always tired, couldn't sleep properly, couldn't enjoy my family time. Then in January 2016 I went to see Dr Syed Ahsan for consultation. After having, all the tests done, Dr Syed suggested ablation as the best option for my condition. Unlike other doctors he explained to me everything in regards to the procedure, answered all my questions. I remember, it was very difficult for me to make the decision about the procedure. I was scared, had a lot of doubts. However Dr Syed was always there for me, had always time to listen and answer my questions, quickly responded to my emails. He gave me always a lot of confidents and professional support. I can say now that having the ablation done with Dr Syed was the best decision in my life. Now a year on since I have my procedure and I feel great. I can fully enjoy my life with my family. My heart is so quiet, calm, normal and happy. Im happy. Dr Syed, thank you. I will recommend to everyone who feels like I felt to see Dr Syed. Kind regards Dorota Rejniak-Warnawska

I arrived at the North Mid today to receive my son's results from an MRI scan that was previously taken at St Barts. I am sure that my shoulders were up by my ears through sheer terror of what we might be told. Consultant Ahsan greeted us as old friends even though we had never met before. He went out of his way to explain everything in detail.Eye contact was made which made us feel that we mattered and were not just another NHS number. Relevant questions were asked with ample time given for discussion. By the time my son's consultation was over, my shoulders were not up by my ears! Thank you Consultant Ahsan for your care and attention and for explaining the situation clearly enough for me to relay it to family members who were eagerly waiting. Once again, thank you. Regards Sharon Williams.

My daughter and I arrived at Bart's for her 10.15 appointment on Thursday 5th January 2017 only to find that her appointment had been cancelled, as she had had an extra appointment back in September 2016, so there was confusion over the 6 month follow up appointment. The reception staff were very helpful and said to us that they would see if Dr Ahsan could fit her in. He kindly said that he would and she only had to wait for 30 minutes to be seen. Dr Ahsan is a caring man and listens very carefully to what my daughter and I have to say and acts upon our comments accordingly. He reassures the pair of us and my daughter feels very comfortable talking to him. His secretary is also very efficient and so helpful. On the few occasions that I have emailed her, she has dealt with our request very promptly. They are a great team and nothing is too much trouble for either of them!

Mr Ahsan has been my conultant for three years. I have always found him to be kind, compassionate and patient. He was particularly patient (as was the whole yeam) when Ichanged my mind about my procedure at the eleventh hour. In each consultation I have never felt rushed. He explains things carefully and, if required, in detail. He is accessible and has always listened to me and answered all of my questions.

Dr Asad is a very caring man and explains what the problem is and the best way to treat you. It would be helpful to now where possible, the waiting time for a procedure, I have been waiting ten weeks so far, and no not when I will be treated, yours Peter Quince

Dr. Syed Ahsan looked after me in 2015/early 2016 when I was diagnosed with atrial flutter. He had a very calming influence, explained everything in great detail, was always happy to answer questions, both in person and by e-mail and has an extremely pleasant, caring attitude. He carried out a cardiac ablation at The Wellington in August 2015 and this procedure was completely successful. I cannot recommend him more highly and, in fact, have recently suggested a friend saw him and she, too, was completely happy with his care. My husband likes to accompany me to appointments and, like me, he was also impressed by Dr. Ahsan' friendly approach, particularly as at that time a close friend was dying and he always remembered to ask how things were. This may sound like a small thing but it all makes a difference when you have health concernsyourself. To sum up I cannot recommend Dr. Syed Ahsan more highly than I have tried to convey.

I saw Dr Ahsan at St Anthony's Hospital following a referral from my GP as I had an irregular heart beat and associated problems. Dr Ahsan listened carefully to all I said and explained in detail what he thought the problem was and his proposed plan of action. He was prepared to spend as long as I needed to understand what he was saying. After various tests he decided I needed surgery and very quickly arranged for me to se a colleague of his , An excellent Surgeon, who very soon carried out a double Heart bypass , from which I quickly recovered. I am currently seeing Dr Ahsan for follow up treatment and couldn't be happier with the care I have received .

Dr Ahsan has a distinctive and rare combination of qualities. He is highly skilled technically and is a talented cardiologist working at the cutting edge of his specialty. He demonstrates an astute attentiveness and has a gentle manner. He is very perceptive, calm and considerate. He conveys a quiet confidence in that he is both open minded but clear minded. He is approachable, available when needed, and responsive to emails/calls. He explains the rationale for his decisions in a way that is easily accessible; nothing seems too much for him. He gives the feeling that he has the time to consider all the relevant issues. For these reasons, I trust his judgement implicitly and would unreservedly recommend him to colleagues or friends. As a health professional myself, I have assessed many people and trained many doctors. In my opinion, he is an exceptional clinician and his practice is extraordinary . As far as I am concerned, he has managed my situation impeccably and I cannot fault it. What is just so impressive is his sound, supportive and appropriately optimistic management when things are perhaps not going as well as one might like. This is extremely reassuring as he appreciates the necessity of integrating the psychological aspects of care with the physical problems. He treats members of his team with respect and is remarkably unassuming. To summarize, I would describe Dr Ahsan as an outstanding clinician who has helped to restore my confidence and transformed how I was feeling in many respects. This has re-affirmed my belief in the potential of medicine, in the power of the right word at the right time, and in the value of kindness.
