APPOINTMENTS

 

Dr Khambadkone has his Paediatric Cardiology private practice in London at the The Portland Hospital, and at International and Private Patients Great Ormond Street Hospital. All outpatient appointments are seen personally by Dr Khambadkone and last approximately 40 minutes. He offers a fast-track referral service, enabling your child to have a same or next-day appointment. A referral from your GP is not mandatory. We require a minimum of 24 hours notice for all cancellations and may have to apply a cancellation or missed appointment fee. We  thank you for your understanding.

​

Both institutions provide world-class private healthcare for children under 18 in a warm, safe and clean environment. All medical care and surgery provided by Dr Khambadkone is supported by the Paediatric Intensive Care unit, with access to the most highly advanced medical technology.

 

Dr Khambadkone also performs procedures at both hospitals and your child will be seen by Dr Khambadkone post procedure as often as required. Another specialist Paediatric Cardiologist will attend to your child if Dr Khambadkone is away on holiday or attending to an unavoidable urgent medical emergency.

 

As a NHS Consultant, Dr Khambadkone developed the adolescent cardiology and transition clinic at Great Ormond Street Hospital, with his role as a Lead for Transition in Cardiology forming close links with the adult congenital heart diseases team at the St Bartholomew's Heart Centre. In the private sector, he has formed similar close links with the adult congenital cardiologists, interventional cardiologists, electrophysiologists, and congenital cardiac surgeons operating on adults. He will ensure smooth transition for young persons and their families during a challenging time for them with a change in model of care but with maintenance of continuity and confidence.
