"Patients have everything under one roof from consultation, tests and procedures. The staff enjoy their work and are passionate about it which reflects in their warm and welcoming approach."


Specialises in

  • Chest pain
  • Breathlessness
  • Palpitations
  • Dizziness
  • Leg swelling

I am a Consultant Cardiologist and the Lead for Cardiac Imaging at the East Lancashire NHS Trust since 2015.

I regularly see patients with chest pain, breathlessness, palpitations, ankle / leg swelling and blackouts in my clinics. Imaging of the heart is crucial in establishing the diagnosis, be it angina, heart failure, coronary artery disease or arrhythmias. Accordingly, I perform weekly sessions of cardiac MRI, CT coronary angiograms and all aspects of both transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) in my routine clinical practice.

I qualified from the University of Sheffield in 2002, on the background of a distinction BMedSci (Hons) for my research in thrombosis in 1999 which I presented internationally. My Cardiology training was through several national centres of excellence in London and Manchester.

My research work in Cardiology has been recognised and honoured with several distinguished international awards, including from the American Heart Association (2013) and Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (2014). I received my MD degree from UCL (London) in 2015 and to date, I have over 20 publications to my name in peer-reviewed medical journals, with the second highest ResearchGate score in the entire ELHT NHS Trust.

To book a remote (video / telephone) clinic consultation, or if you're waiting for a cardiac CT / MRI scan on the NHS and wish to now have it done privately, please contact my private PA Neelu. I'm authorised by all the major insurers.
