A private cardiology consultation in London with Dr Nabila Laskar gives you direct, unhurried access to a GMC-registered Consultant Cardiologist — no GP referral required. Whether you are worried about chest pain, palpitations, breathlessness, blood pressure or a family history of heart disease, you will get a thorough history, a clinical examination, and a clear plan for any tests or treatment that you need. Many tests, including ECG and echocardiogram, can be performed in the same visit, so you do not have to come back.
A consultation is the foundation of any cardiac assessment. It is a face-to-face appointment with a Consultant Cardiologist — in this case Dr Laskar — focused entirely on you. It includes a detailed medical history, a review of any previous tests or scans, a focused cardiovascular examination, and a personalised plan covering investigations, medication, lifestyle and follow-up. There is no rushed 10-minute slot and no junior doctor in your place.
An initial consultation lasts 45 minutes. Dr Laskar will take a full history covering your symptoms, risk factors, family history and lifestyle, review any previous investigations you bring with you, and perform a focused cardiovascular examination including blood pressure, pulse and heart sounds. If indicated, an ECG and/or handheld echocardiogram can usually be performed in the same visit. You leave with a clear written plan and (with your consent) a letter to your GP.
Please arrive 5–10 minutes early. Bring a list of your current medications, any previous test results you have, and (if you have one) a recent GP letter. You can eat, drink and take your normal medications. You will see Dr Laskar directly, not a registrar or trainee. If tests are needed on the day, they can usually be done straight after the consultation.
No. You can self-refer and book directly online. With your consent, a copy of the consultation letter can be sent to your GP after the appointment.
An initial consultation lasts 45 minutes. A follow-up consultation lasts approximately 30 minutes.
A list of your current medications, any previous ECGs, echocardiograms, scan reports or blood test results, and any GP letters. If you have a smartwatch ECG or symptom diary, please bring these too.
Yes, with your consent. A full clinic letter is sent securely to your GP after the appointment, with copies of any test results.

An initial consultation (£300) covers a full new assessment. A follow-up (£250) is for patients already known to the clinic, used for reviewing results, monitoring treatment or adjusting medication.
