I have been under the care of Dr Lim and his team for the past 2.5 years for suspected atrial fibrillation and scarring of the heart from a young age. I underwent two ablation procedures 12months apart; the first under local anaesthetic was unsuccessful but the second under general anaesthetic in January 2019 worked. Throughout my treatment Dr Lim has been excellent, empathetic, informative, friendly and supportive as have his team at both West Middlesex and Hammersmith Hospitals.

Fantastic session. Incredibly knowledgeable about POTs – took the time to understand and answer my questions. Considerate, caring and patient. Gave practical advice as well as advice tailored to my life style. Was very thorough in explaining the medical reasons for the physical manifestations of the condition. Would highly recommend. After a year of going down a variety of different medical routes, I am pleased to have come across Dr Boon Lim. Thank you!

Such a lovely, professional, thorough guy.

I did a lot of research to find the right doctor and I’m very glad I did. Over the course of 4 weeks I had visited my GP and A&E on multiple occasions. Each time nobody knew what was wrong and each time this became more frustrating and worrying for me. I booked a consultation with Dr Lim and during this initial consultation, he listened to everything I had to say and read every piece of paper I brought with me (ECGs, paramedic notes, my journal of symptoms). I didn’t feel under any pressure for time. He then explained each of the diagnostic tests which he planned to do. I explained that I had a family holiday coming up and that I was worried I was going to have to miss it, seeing as I had made zero progress in a diagnosis so far. Dr Lim understood how important the holiday was to me and assured me that we would get to the bottom of this before I was due to travel. I completed each of the tests (with the help of a fantastic nurse at Bupa Cromwell called Lorna). In my follow up appointment, Dr Lim told me he knew exactly what the issue was, which was a huge relief to me. He explained Vasovagal Syncope, and how it can be managed. I was then able to travel on my family holiday and have improved considerably since. I found a lot of his online material extremely helpful too, such as the stopfainting website and the YouTube video where he spoke to Skysports about a football player (Bafétimbi Gomis) who experienced Syncope episodes during matches. In summary, Dr Lim is without a doubt the best doctor I have ever seen, and he’s helped me to get my life back on track. He is an expert in his field and a true professional. I am very grateful to him and will take everything he said to me on board

Dr Boon Lim is a very excellent Cardiology specialist. I went to him because of of specialisms, and the positive feedback I’d seen. We have now started the investigation process, and I feel that I am in very safe hands and that he is a very skilled and highly professional expert in the field.

I recently saw Dr Lim and it went very well. He was very kind and spent time explaining everything to me. He had expert knowledge that I hadn’t found elsewhere.

Very good doctor and professional with excellent knowledge helped my mum and performed a procedure with a positive outcome. Happy and grateful fully recommend this Doctor

Dr Lim does listen to their patients and discuss issues with you with patience. He can explain the issues clearly, there is no “maybe” or “perhaps” in his wording, he will explain to you exactly what happened you and why. Highly recommend Dr Lim.
