When you have your heart surgery in Manchester at The Alexandra Hospital, you will benefit from:
Fast access to a leading heart surgeon
Heart surgery can make a huge difference to your health and quality of life. With long waiting lists elsewhere, we can arrange private cardiac surgery for you sooner.
Our cardiac surgeons are recognised nationally and will ensure you receive the best treatment and guidance for your particular symptoms and conditions at the earliest possible time.
Consultant-led care. Always.
Every aspect of your care, from initial assessment through to treatment and post-treatment follow-up, is overseen and carefully monitored by your consultant.
Minimally invasive heart surgery
Keyhole surgery can be used for aortic and mitral valve replacement. This can help to reduce pain and bleeding, improve recovery times and cause less scarring.
An experienced team
Cardiac surgery requires experience. Our on-site multidisciplinary team include cardiac nurses, cardiologists and physiotherapists, all highly experienced in supporting people through their cardiac surgery and post-surgery rehabilitation. Immediately after surgery, you are closely monitored at all times by specialist staff in our critical care unit, with fast access to a heart surgery registrar and anaesthetist if needed.
Convenient location
With excellent road access and a 440-space car park, it is very easy to get to The Alexandra from Manchester and the surrounding areas.
And while we're only minutes from the motorway, our hospital is set in a leafy area in the charming Cheadle Village, offering a peaceful environment in which to have treatment.
An experience to write home about
We pride ourselves on individualised care and a compassionate welcome for every person who walks through our doors. And our patients agree.
Stockport resident Mark Peacock was a patient at The Alex two years ago. "I hold this place and its staff in the highest regard and have the utmost respect for them all. I will always be grateful to them… The care, attentiveness from the moment I walked in the hospital was incredible and reassuring. I owe them all a great debt of gratitude." After undergoing major heart surgery, Mark rated his experience at The Alex as five stars.
