Private Cardiologist in Peterborough
Why choose a Private Cardiologist in Peterborough?
Book a private face-to-face cardiology consultation in Peterborough with Consultant Cardiologist Dr Salam Salloum (GMC 5209498) for personalised assessment and clear specialist advice.
Dr Salloum has over 22 years of UK cardiovascular experience. His practice includes general cardiology, cardiac imaging, heart failure and valvular heart disease. He assesses people with new cardiac symptoms, known heart disease, abnormal investigation results and those seeking a cardiology second opinion.
A face-to-face appointment allows a detailed clinical history, cardiovascular examination and review of previous results. You will receive a clear explanation of the likely causes of your symptoms and a personalised plan for any treatment, investigations or follow-up that may be required.
Self-funded patients can normally self-refer without a GP referral. Patients using private medical insurance should confirm their cover and obtain any referral or authorisation required by their insurer before booking.
This is a planned outpatient service and does not replace emergency care. If you develop severe or persistent chest pain, marked breathlessness, collapse, stroke symptoms or another potentially life-threatening problem, call 999.
