I had a consolation with Dr Boon Lim having suffered with ectopic heartbeats for some time now.
Dr Boon Lim was exceptionally knowledgable, friendly, and a great listener. He was incredibly generous with his time, and articulated in a very accessible fashion what I was experiencing, why, and what I could do to alleviate the symptoms.
I cannot recommend Dr Boon Lim more highly! I have also found his online content to be very informative and helpful.

Dr Boon Lim understood my AF condition quickly and recommended immediate treatment without any hesitation. The surgery has given me a new lease of life and I can't thank Dr Boon Lim enough. I would highly recommend his services.

I have seen Dr Boon Lim a number of times since 2019 regarding my heart health, syncope and AF. He has always explained things in a clear manner and taken the time to listen. He has a holistic approach and has advised on how to make effective and achievable lifestyle changes. I have also found his book 'Keeping Your Heart Healthy' an easy and informative read. I would have no hesitation in recommending his care and expertise.

Dr Lim reassured my 21 year old son with his calm, patient and professional manner. He explained in detail the treatment plan and procedures that he put in place. He and his team made whole process smooth at an anxious time. After a successful procedure my son can resume his competitive sporting activities. We can’t thank him enough.

He is both excellent at listening and explaining. his manner is assured but warm. I never sensed that my consultations had been in any way hurried

I saw Dr Boon Lim at the end of 2020 on the recommendation of another cardiologist, as I needed a pacemaker and my first cardiologist suggested that Dr Boon Lim was the absolute best in class.
I can honestly say I felt looked after and listened to every step of the way during my treatment.
I was also incredibly impressed at Dr Boon Lim’s holistic approach to my healthcare, which has resulted in me making some fundamental changes to my lifestyle and having further conversations with an endocrinologist.
I would have no hesitation in recommending
Dr Boon Lim for any cardiology issues.

I’m a 69 year old man. I have had Atrial Flutter for a few years and it has increasingly been affecting me, and how I felt with exercise. Some shortness of breath and anxiousness associated with the arrhythmia.
I was lucky enough to have Dr Lim and his team give me an ablation. Professional painless and wow, I now feel great. Dr Lim really knows what he is doing.
Thanks to all

I have suffered with what was termed as anxiety and a fast heart rate for years. I have seen countless cardiologists before Dr Boon Lim but no one really got to the bottom of it. Dr Boon Lim quickly ascertained that I was likely suffering with a fast heart and anxiety because of blood pooling in my legs and the resulting activation of my nervous system. He explained everything very carefully to me and gave me specific advice to help mitigate the effects. Dr Boon Lim is a very caring and supportive Dr and since receiving his reassurance and putting into practice his advice, I have felt so much better. Dr Lim is extremely knowledgeable and uses very up to date testing methods, such as the zip patch 14 day heart monitor. This allowed Dr Lim to confirm that I did not have any other heart rhythm disturbance. I really can not recommend him highly enough and my experience has been life changing.

Wow! Doctor Lim, What an amazing Doctor and what an amazing human being. After my Cardiac arrest in November 2019, the prospect of getting an ICD Installed was very daunting for me. With other health issues. and a very Anxious person by nature, I am very weak facing these things, and get extremely stressed.
Doctor Lim, after speaking to me very soon realised what sort of person I am and absolutely went out of his way , spending a great deal of time talking to me, not only about the Medical side of an ICD and how it all works, but so patiently and passionately with great empathy converted me into a confident, now knowledgeble patient who with great courage accepted and then got my ICD Installed.
I am 65 years old and have never ever , met a Doctor who was not just a doctor with great experience and know how , but had the incredible skills to give me his precious time and expert advise . My wife who was listening to our conversation , is so so impressed that , she had tears in her eyes, as before Doctor Lim spoke to me , I was stressing her out, with my Anxieties, and Doctor Lim fixed that.
Dear Doctor Lim, I and my family thankyou very very much and are very grateful.
Look forward to see you or one of your team , in clinic, or phone consultation, if possible for my Post ICD Installation follow up clinic on Wednesday 1 July 2020, around 15.30.
best wishes and best regards

Dr Lim was professional, insightful and thorough. He was able to disseminate the salient information quickly but without rushing, and I found his general manner to be reassuring, along with this diagnosis.
