About Dr. BOON LIM
Dr. Boon Lim was first voted best cardiologist in London UK by colleagues in 2017. Dr Boon Lim was again awarded Top Doctor of the year in 2018 for cardiology, making it the second successive year that Dr Lim has been awarded this accolade voted by physician peers across the UK. He provides personalized patient care, tailored to your needs and works in the NHS based at Hammersmith Hospital, a renowned academic teaching hospital, and also as a private cardiologist in 1 Welbeck Street in central London. Dr. Lim is able to see you at several locations for your convenience, where you can expect to receive world-class care.
Consultation starts with a history and thorough understanding of your needs and often fears, and his empathetic style, and clear decision-making, underscored by expert knowledge in his field, give patients the assurance and confidence that they are receiving an exceptional healthcare experience entirely focussed on the patient’s concerns.
Furthermore, Dr Lim is dynamic, going against the traditional model of private healthcare with frequent or annual checks. He would much rather help you get back to full health, and thereafter to discharge you completely with a reassurance that you could seek a review or further follow-up appointment when necessary.
