personalised cardiac care for you and your loved ones
because no two hearts are the same
Why see a cardiologist privately?
- No need to wait; you can book your clinic appointment today
- Consultant delivered care with time to focus on you
- Faster care with rapid investigation and results
- Appointments at your convenience
- Prompt communication by letter or email is your choice.
Opting for a private specialist consultation, whether or not you possess health insurance, will speed up the process, bypassing lengthy waiting periods caused by administrative delays or a lack of facilities.
You are guaranteed to see a consultant rather than a trainee doctor, with more time to discuss your problems.
It can save weeks of unnecessary worry.
Rapid access to investigations and treatment.
Perhaps you’ve already been diagnosed with a heart condition, or maybe you have a new symptom. Whatever your problem, we have an expert that can help.
Do I need to be referred or insured?
Quite simply, no. You are welcome to visit one of our consultants without a referral letter if you prefer.
To make the most of your initial consultation, a letter from your GP is useful but not essential.
If you have private medical insurance, your insurer might require you to have a referral from your GP.
It is advisable to check with them first.

What about the cost?
For many people who do not have insurance, cost is obviously a concern, but it usually costs less than you think and can save months of unnecessary worry:
- Costs are clearly laid out before you agree to anything.
- Transfer from private care to NHS, when required, is seamless.
- If helpful, the Nuffield offers specialist interest-free payment schemes to Exeter Heart patients.
- An early consultation with a specialist is often preferred to prolonged NHS waiting times.

Why go private with Exeter Heart?
Exeter Heart has a unique collaborative ethos, delivering truly multi-specialist input to provide the best care for you.
All aspects of cardiology care are delivered by national leaders in their field.
Rapid access to investigations and treatment delivered by the Exeter Heart team.
Exeter Heart has invested in providing your investigations and treatment by the Exeter Heart team; unlike many private practices, you are not sent off to an outsourced service.
Exeter Heart is the longest-established collaborative practice in the South West, delivering comprehensive cardiac care for you.
All our consultants are passionate about providing the best possible healthcare for you and the wider community. During the COVID pandemic, the entire Exeter Heart team worked on the NHS front line, and they all continue to dedicate their time to delivering the best NHS care possible within the constraints of the system. Within Exeter Heart, however, they are able to offer their patients so much more.
Exeter Heart has a unique approach: unlike other private practices where individual consultants work as independent doctors under a shared name, the Exeter Heart consultants work together utilising sub-specialty knowledge and skills to ensure you receive the most experienced opinion on all aspects of your care.
Exeter Heart is aligned with modern best practice which discourages individuals from attempting to provide all aspects of care in the increasingly complex field of cardiology. Collaborative multi-disciplinary care is a requirement in the NHS, but rare in private practice outside of Exeter Heart.
In Exeter Heart, whist you have your own consultant you also have the peace of mind that an entire team is working for you with seamless input of expertise from all necessary sub-specialties.
Exeter Heart is a well-established and respected private practice which has selected national leaders to provide comprehensive expertise in all areas of cardiology; a group of expert problem-solvers working together to give you the best possible care.
