"Friendly, communicative and helpful staff"

About: The Essex Cardiothoracic Centre

I underwent a TOE procedure, and couldn’t have had a more pleasant and straightforward experience. All the staff of Thames Ward were incredibly friendly and helpful, from the Receptionist who initially greeted us, to the Consultant Cardiologist who performed the TOE.

The procedure itself was conducted very smoothly, and the sedation administered was so effective, that I have little recollection of anything. My recovery was rapid, and within an hour-and-a-half I was able to enjoy coffee and biscuits.

My wife and I would like to thank everyone involved. You’re doing a great job!
