How quickly can I get an appointment?

We typically offer appointments within 24-48 hours for urgent cases and within 1-2 weeks for routine assessments. Contact us to discuss your specific needs.

Do I need a GP referral to book?

No, you don't need a GP referral to see Dr Balerdi privately. You can book directly as a self-pay patient or through your insurance provider.

How much do private cardiology services cost?

Our services range from £80 for an ECG to £1,200 for a CT coronary angiogram or stress echocardiogram. Initial consultations start from £165. We accept major insurance providers and self-pay patients.

What should I bring to my appointment?

Please bring a list of current medications, any previous cardiac test results or reports, your insurance details if applicable, and a list of questions or concerns you'd like to discuss.

How long does an echocardiogram take?

A standard echocardiogram takes approximately 30-45 minutes. You'll receive your results and a detailed report on the same day in most cases.

Are your cardiac tests safe?

Yes, all our diagnostic tests are non-invasive and safe. Echocardiograms use ultrasound waves (no radiation), ECGs simply record electrical activity, and stress tests are performed under careful medical supervision.
