Matthew Faircloth
Dr Matt Faircloth is a highly experienced Consultant Cardiologist with practising privileges at private hospitals across London and Surrey. He has a particular interest in ischaemic heart disease and interventional cardiology (angioplasty and stenting) and also treats all aspects of cardiology including hypertension, rhythm management, pacing and heart failure.
Dr Faircloth's main base is on the Surrey/Hampshire/Berkshire border and he is well placed to see patients from these areas in Clare Park Hospital and Frimley Park Hospital. In addition, he practices at St George's and St Anthony’s Hospitals where he is pleased to see patients from South London and Surrey.
Dr Faircloth qualified from St George's Hospital Medical School, gaining a number of prizes, before undertaking junior posts at St George's, the Royal Brompton and Hammersmith Hospitals. He started his registrar training at Frimley Park Hospital in 1999 before going on to St George's. He was awarded a personal BHF Fellowship to research the molecular basis of ischaemic heart failure at St Thomas' Hospital, leading to the award of a PhD. He then completed his training with a fellowship in interventional cardiology back at St George's Hospital. He was appointed as a consultant cardiologist at Frimley Park and St George's Hospitals in 2008.
He is often described by his patients as being a good and careful listener, which is crucial in gaining a swift and accurate diagnosis.
He is an experienced and highly capable interventional cardiologist and his externally reviewed performance figures confirm excellent success rates and an excellent safety record. He is trusted by his colleagues for his clinical and interventional skills.
Dr Faircloth runs his clinics as often as possible as 'one-stop' clinics' with tests being performed on the day to enable a swift and efficient diagnostic process. ECGs, echocardiograms, exercise tests and cardiac monitors can often be arranged at the time of the first visit. He runs two to three clinics per week and, with a very friendly and helpful PA (Deborah Squire), will always try to accommodate patients as soon as possible.
Dr Faircloth is recognised by all the major insurance companies and meets their fee requirements (he does not bill in excess of the companies' recommended fee levels). Approved companies include: BUPA, AXA-PPP, Aviva, WPA and Exeter.
