ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR TOM FORD - CENTRAL HEART REVIEWS
I give Dr Tom Ford five stars (like all of his reviews) He is very charming and puts you at ease immediately. He is well credentialed, highly recognised internationally and in Australia which gave me a good deal of confidence in him. He explained everything in terms I could understand, so I could make the right choices. The most impressive thing was his accessibility. My daughter contacted him (with my permission) with concerns and he rang her back at 8pm that night . I contacted him via email regarding medication and he once again rang me immediately. I did cardiac rehab with a number of his patients who all had nothing but praise for him. His staff are polite and very professional and it’s obvious they enjoy working with him . If you need the services of a cardiologist do yourself a favour and see Dr Tom Ford.
I would absolutely recommend Dr Tom to anyone needing Heart care. He is an amazing human who really does put patients first. The whole team at Gosford Private Heart care are to be congratulated on their professional and friendly manner. Cannot thank him enough for the surgery I had and his manner in explaining what was done. There should be more like him. Sincere thanks Dr Tom....
Dr Ford is extremely knowledgeable, very thorough and most importantly easy to talk to and empathetic at a time when us patients and family feel very vulnerable, you get a feeling of being safe and looked after. The staff at the practice are very professional, friendly, prompt and always make you feel welcome.

DR BRENDAN GUNALINGAM REVIEWS
Dr Gunalingam is an excellent doctor. He is very thorough and inspired me and my family with a lot of confidence regarding his skills and knowledge. My GP was raving about him and telling us he is highly regarded amongst his peers and has operated on some very famous people at St Vincent's in the city. Despite being such a famous and popular cardiologist, he was very down to earth, warm and kind. If you are worried about your heart at all I highly recommend this lovely doctor who will put you at ease straight away. Thank you, Dr Gunalingam.
I saw Dr Brendan at St Vincent clinic very recently for the first time. He was very professional with a good approach to solving my heart scare Thank you Sir.
