Heart Rhythm Centre
Heart Rhythm Centre, in Newtown, is a specialist practice built specifically around arrhythmias, abnormal heart rhythms, rather than general cardiology. The practice's own site states its doctors hold appointments at Sydney University, each with postgraduate qualifications including a PhD in Medicine, and lists affiliations with Royal Prince Alfred, Prince of Wales, Mater and St George Private hospitals. Reviewers describe Professor McGuire performing ablations for SVT and atrial fibrillation, including newer pulsed field ablation, with one reviewer, a former Olympic rower, back to full activity afterward. It holds a perfect 5.0 across 21 reviews.
What people praise
- Reviewers describe successful ablations after previous procedures elsewhere hadn't worked
- Professor McGuire gets specific praise for personal follow-up, including a reviewer contacted directly on a Sunday about medication
- The practice's own site lists hospital affiliations across several major Sydney hospitals
Worth knowing
- The smallest review count on this page, so the sample is thin even though every review here is five stars
Our take: A perfect rating, but on a small enough review base that we'd call it promising rather than proven. Worth it specifically if arrhythmia, not general heart health, is the issue.
