HeartScan gave me a top quality medical investigation and information about my heart when I wanted it fast.  I found all staff there helpful, efficient and friendly.  Would recommend.

David B, age 59, Carlisle

A planned operation was postponed until I had an Echo. I had to wait 6-8 weeks for an NHS echo but Heartscan arranged my Echo within 5 days allowing my surgery to be rescheduled. A thoroughly professional and reassuring service.

Jackie Hogg, Bishop Auckland, Author institution

The Echo was exceptionally thorough. I cannot recommend HeartScan, Antoinette and her team too highly.
