I was put at ease by Professor Wendler, he took time to explain my condition and the treatment options. I was confident with his proposals and the treatment was excellent.

The pre operation meetings were very informative and conducted in a relaxed friendly atmosphere . Professor Wendler has an outstanding attitude and bedside manner . The open heart surgery was a total success and surprisingly painless . The post op visits were numerous and reassuring . Congratulations to the whole team at the amazing Cleveland Clinic which is more like a five star hotel .

I went to see Professor Wendler because he treated my mother and gave her a new heart valve at the age of 90 during Covid-19. He treated her with kindness and compassion and I believe him to be an excellent surgeon - she recovered well and is still doing well. I saw him with concerns about breathlessness and palpitations. He was thorough, arranged all relevant tests and in particular, he was kind, compassionate and clearly really knew his stuff. Professor Wendler telephoned me twice, he listens. I would highly recommend him.

Professor Wendler is by far the best doctor I have ever come across in my life. He took really good care of me pre and post operation. I underwent a mitral valve repair with repair of the subvalvular apparatus and resection of a subaortic membrane, on 18 May 2023 under Professor Olaf’s care. I have to say he has shown total care, he always came by to check on me and he offered me his email and contact details to ask him about anything during my recovery. He has always answered me right away, was never late on me. The surgery was a great success, I had a formidable recovery on my second week, I was able to walk normally, the scar on my chest healed very quickly and it did not get any infections. I am 6 weeks in now and my chest looks much better and I am also feeling great now. I appreciate everything he has done and how professional he was and kind. He is truly an amazing doctor I would recommend him anytime.

I am delighted to write a review for Professor Olaf Wendler, a world-renowned cardiac surgeon at Cleveland Clinic London Hospital. My experience under his care was nothing short of excellent. From the very first consultation, Professor Wendler's professionalism and expertise were evident. He took the time to explain my condition in detail, answering all of my questions with patience and clarity. Throughout the entire process, he made sure I was comfortable and informed, instilling a sense of trust and confidence in his abilities. On the day of my surgery, I was understandably nervous, but Professor Wendler's calm and reassuring demeanor put me at ease. The procedure went smoothly, and his attention to detail was evident in every step of the process. During my recovery, Professor Wendler continued to provide the same level of care and attention he had shown me before and during the surgery. He made sure I was comfortable and well-informed, always taking the time to answer my questions and address any concerns I had. Overall, I cannot recommend Professor Olaf Wendler highly enough. His expertise, professionalism, and compassion are truly exceptional, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had him as my surgeon. Thank you, Professor Wendler, and the team at Cleveland Clinic London Hospital, for everything you have done for me. Farhad

I'm now almost entirely recovered from not just a new heart valve, but 4 bypasses 'while they were in there'. Prof Olaf is the consummate professional, he carries an aura too. It was like meeting Steve Jobs to discuss next year's Mac, at Apple headquarters. You get the feeling that not only does he know what he's talking about, he has the team & the expertise to do it… whatever 'it' may be. While I was in hospital pre-op, nursing staff would ask me who I got. Every time, they went - 'ooh you got the best'. Seemed a good omen, borne out by my experience & rapid recovery.

Three month since surgery and almost fully recovered from aortic valve and ascending aorta replacements. Prof Wendler provided excellent professional care in a personable manner, both pre and post operatively. I was well supported by him at every stage. An outstanding cardiac surgeon.

I had my surgery on 4th January 2023 to replace my aortic valve at the Cleveland Hospital, London carried by Professor Olaf Wendler. I truly believed that I could not have been in better hands in terms of his skill and the excellent care and attention I received. From the initial consultation he put my mind at ease and listened to what I had to say and fully explained the procedure. My wife and I felt at ease and I went into surgery feeling calm and confident. My surgery went very well, without any complications. 4 weeks on from my surgery my recovery is going very well with after care phone calls provided by his team. Thank you

Professor Olaf Wendler was highly recommended to me by my cardiologist for open heart aortic valve surgery. I found him to be very easy to communicate with both before and after my surgery; he explained the procedure well and listened and answered all my questions clearly and directly. This helped me go into the surgery prepared, and with trust and confidence. My surgery went very well, without complications. The care from his team and the hospital were also excellent and I felt well supported on alI levels, physically, emotionally and psychologically. Only 5 months later my recovery has been amazing to me and I feel fully healed. I am beyond grateful for Professor Wendler’s skill and care. Cheryl Gissing

My urgent admission to hospital was dealt with immediately and my treatment, requiring a triple bypass to the heart with added complications, likewise. Subsequently, I required a pacemaker to be fitted and thereafter a IDE to be fitted to correct the pacemaker heart rhythm to marry completely with my own heart rhythm. Professor Wendler remained in charge of my operational requirements throughout and visited me most days throughout my stay, which lasted over five weeks, including at weekends. His attendance and dedication gave the the support I needed, great comfort and acceptance that I was in safe hands. I came out of hospital six weeks ago and I am recovering very well and can walk to and from my office and the hospital’s unit to check on progress. Christopher J Harniman

Professor Wendler is an outstanding Surgeon. This was the second time I had open heart surgery and I recommend him and his team in highest possible terms. Here is what I think makes him different to any other surgeon I spoke to: - He reassured my fears about surgery by emphasizing that is very much focused on safety of the surgery and I think his outstanding track record speaks volumes here - Professor Wendler is very knowledgeable with respect to all of the most recent studies and will also share with his patients when he believes some of the results should be discounted and how that affects his care recommendation - This was my second surgery. So far I had less side effects after the this surgery than the first one (I expected the other way around). I think that this speaks to his outstanding skills as a surgeon. - Professor Wendler is a very caring doctor. He came to see me everyday in hospital when he was in London. He did everything he could to make my recovery as effortless as possible. - His whole team is outstanding. Jessica, the senior nurse he works with has kept in touch with me on a regular basis to ensure that all of my questions before and after surgery were answered and that everything was going well. - The Cleveland Clinic is also unlike any hospital in the UK. Very modern inside and the staff were outstanding. There was a nurse in my room usually within 30 seconds or less of me using the buzzer. The nurses always went above and beyond in their care. I couldnt ask for better care during the whole time in Hospital. Overall, I interviewed 6 surgeons and I am very lucky to have come across Professor Wendler, who provided outstanding care.

I have recently had serious cardiac problems and was fortunate enough to be referred to Professor Wendler. I cannot recommend the Professor and his Team highly enough, this isn’t just a tradesman doing some work for you, this is a man who quite literally has got your life in his hands and as such you want the best. In my estimation and experience Professor Wendler is the best. Not only is the Professor a nice person, but from day one he always appeared to have time for me and my family, he explained everything clearly, calmly and when appropriate a touch of warmth and humour. I felt that here was a person who was in control and knew his subject inside out and knew exactly what he was doing, this is so reassuring at what is a very difficult time. On the morning of the Operation, a very nervous time for the patient, he was the first to greet me and settle me down, I can remember feeling very reassured. Post operation I saw him everyday bar one, I thought he would have the weekend off, but no he was there both days, he explained everything, always had time and made myself and my family feel like we were in the hands of someone who cared personally and really knew what he was doing. I mentioned his team earlier, not only has he got a knowledgeable, professional, caring Team round him, but they all spoke really warmly and highly of him, which I think speaks volumes, this was not prompted, you could just feel the loyalty and trust that he has from his staff. One person even said if they were having my Operation they wouldn’t want anyone other than the “Prof” to do it. I want to post this review as I really think that the Professor deserves it and I hope that it helps others in my position, I don’t think it is possible to recommend anyone higher than this, “if I was to need this life saving operation again I would only want Professor Olaf Wendler to perform it” and I would recommend him to anyone in a similar position.
