AT KIMS HOSPITAL
We understand that if you have any concerns relating to your heart you want to be seen by an expert.
If you have been experiencing ongoing symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness or fainting spells, you can be referred to a Consultant Cardiologist at our interventional Cardiology facility. We work with Consultants, who in turn work with our dedicated cardiac Physiologists and nurses to provide a complete service to diagnose and treat heart-related conditions.
The first step is to contact our enquiries team to make an enquiry or book an appointment with one of the Cardiologists at KIMS Hospital or Sevenoaks Medical Centre.
If you need further treatment, we will carry out your procedure in our interventional cardiology suite at our hospital in Maidstone; a dedicated facility for more involved diagnostics and treatments such as angiograms, pacemaker implants, electrophysiology, stent insertions and more.
Please note: If you are suffering from severe chest pain or symptoms please dial 999
