It is hard to find words to tell you how grateful we are for your dedicated skill in helping Jonathan. It must have been a long and complicated procedure since it lasted into the early hours and I am sure it will have saved my son's life. We would have flown to SA to be there for Jonathan but my husband is 84 and has been advised not to fly on account of his health. Then to complicate things further I caught Covid which is suddenly doing the rounds again in France where we live. Dr Thomas our family all wish to thank you, I believe that you are an Angel sent to help Jonathan. Sincere thanks to your and your team, Lynn and John Ralph. 24520 Liorac sur Louyr France.

Dear Dr Thomas I am penning a heartfelt message of "thanks" for all that you have done for my wife, Beverley. From the moment we first met you on 18 January, you explained your plan for her, the 2 options you had and how you intended to proceed. We were both comforted and had great confidence in you and the way forward. This confidence has only been increased subsequent to the pacemaker procedure on 18 February! So, once again, thank you most sincerely for the care, love, professionalism - it is greatly appreciated! Sincerely Kenneth Ball [also on behalf of Beverley]

Hello Dr Thomas. It is Jodi Lawrence. Everything is going well - my heart rate has been really great and stable. The extra beats are also not noticeable unless I am walking. No bleeding, just bruising. Thank you for your help. Regards, Jodi

Hi Doctor Thomas, Thank you so much for attending to me and for sorting out my pulsing. Great job which is very much appreciated.Very professional service and your bedside manner is impeccable. Your team was great. I have every confidence in your capabilities and was very pleased to be referred to you. I was also very impressed with the facilities and staff at Vincent Palloti And thank you for letting me be discharged yesterday evening. I was feeling just fine but was really not happy with all the coughing and spluttering going on the the ward. Not the patients fault I know but I didnt think I could manage another night there. So I appreciate the early discharge and you sorting out the script for the blood thinners. I can report I am feeling great. I had a very good nights sleep. I collected my blood thinners this morning and had my blood pressure checked. 111/71 Pulse is a bit low- around 64 but I normally do have a good low pulse around 70 There is the odd irregular missed beat but this is normal for me and the last specialist told me not to be concerned. Hope you feel the same My catheter entry wound seems just fine. There is a bit of bruising but I am sure that is to be expected. No bleeding or discomfort. So I will make an appointment to see you again in 2 months time as discussed Thanks again. Regards

It’s been 3 weeks since my heart ablation surgery was performed by Dr. Vinod Thomas and his team, and I wish to express my utmost gratitude and respect for all involved who performed this procedure on me: I also wish to add that Dr. Thomas and his assistant Human ( Surname ) explain in as much detail as one requires what it is they do, but most importantly, their report back after the operation allowed me to understand just how meticulously they executed the procedure. I’m very thankful to have met you and your team Dr. Thomas; in my opinion I couldn’t have chosen a more qualified and talented surgeon. All is good! The fibrillations are gone!! I hope this letter finds you and your staff in good spirits!

Dear Dr Thomas and team Thank you so much for your very kind and patient care of me and my PVC's. You are a very skilled team and I am lucky to have benefited from your expertise. Thank you for answering all my questions and for taking the time to make sure I was comfortable. This card was handmade in Madagascar and like the lady dancing on the front, I hope to be dancing my way up the Canadian Rockies! Kind Regards

Good day Dr Thomas I am just writing to tell you how grateful we are that you were the doctor assigned to Arthur Taylor after he suffered his stroke and cardiac event. Because God could not be everywhere, he made sure that we have Dr’s like you who have the gift of healing mankind. This has been a very difficult time for our family, but it could have been much worse without your dedication and expertise. My family and I are truly grateful for the level of care you were able to administer to my husband and father. The work you do is so important. May you continue to excel at your work in every way possible. From the ER, ICU right down to the cleaning staff at N1 and to your assistant Fiona Smit, we thank each and every one for all you did during his stay in hospital. My family and I will never forget what you've done for us. God bless

Dear Dr Thomas, I am writing to thank you for your huge effort with my operation and to tell you that apart from a dull ache in my leg where the tubes went in and feeling a little tired, I am otherwise all well. Even went for a tentative bodyboard this morning.

Just want to thank you for a very successful operation and giving me my quality of life back. I am now home and feeling stronger every day. Thanks also to your wonderful team in Cat Lab. I found it an amazing experience, scary, painful, funny, very caring and lots of dedicated work. Its so good to see my h b being normal. I just wanted to say I left hospital with no medication, is that correct so I have taken an aspirin everyday.
Thanks once again and to you Fiona you were a star. Best wishesIrene
A big thank you for all your care and focus last week Wednesday. It was a marathon day for all involved. The kindness show to me by the whole team was amazing. Please thank the nurses, radiologist, anesthetist and Human for all they did for me.
I felt very supported and heard by everyone. Please especially thank the anesthetist for looking after my neck (it's never felt better;) and Human for his suggestion of reducing my fluids to bring on the arrhythmia. Thank you for your diligence, skill, patience and compassion for my husband and me. I am feeling pretty good, the pain in my chest and groin mostly gone. I'm tired (to be expected) and I have little stamina. My heart seems to be behaving. More consistent than I've ever known it to be, just a bit faster (according to Fitbit my resting pulse has gone from mid 50's to low 60's).Jennifer

ExcellentBased on 21 reviewsMarlize Grobler2024-02-26Since I went to Dr Vinod Thomas my life has changed for the better with the correct medication he gave me. What a positive change in my life! Also friendly staff in the practice. Thank you.Erika Minnie2024-02-26I would like to commend and thank Dr Vinod, who performed 2 ablation procedures on my husband. He is one of the most professional and capable specialists that we have had the pleasure if meeting. He really took his time to explain everything to us in detail and to reassure us. He is a true master in his profession and such a nice man. Dr Vinod successfully corrected a complex arrhythmia problem that my husband had. As a wife, anxiously waiting outside the cathlab during the almost 6 hour procedures, I was kept informed during and after the process which was so reassuring and meant so much to me. Dr Vinod has a very professional and capable team and I would not hesitate to recommend this amazing team. Thank you Dr. THOMAS, we were very lucky to have met you.Jan Minnie2024-02-26Dear Dr Thomas, I hope this letter finds you well.

I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to assess my condition and offer your expertise and guidance. Your compassion and empathy throughout the entire process were truly remarkable. You not only addressed my medical needs but also took the time to reassure my wife and me, easing our anxieties and fears. Your ability to communicate complex medical information in a way that we could understand was invaluable and greatly appreciated. The skill and precision you demonstrated during the ablation therapy were nothing short of remarkable. Despite the challenges we faced during the procedure, your perseverance and determination ultimately led to a successful outcome. I am incredibly grateful to be free from the medications that were causing me distress and to be on the path to better health thanks to your intervention. I also want to extend my gratitude to your exceptional team, including your assistant and Dr Bowden, the anaesthetist. Their professionalism and support were instrumental in ensuring a smooth and successful procedure. Dr Thomas, you are truly at the top of your game, and I feel fortunate to have been under your care.

The family was very concerned about the procedure, especially due to her age. But thanks to the capable and skilful hands of Dr V. Thomas, the day after the surgery, my mom was back to her jolly old self again. Many ThanksStacy Harrison2023-03-16Excellent doctor. Handled my dad’s case with so much care and compassion.najade koedooder2023-02-28What can I say except, Thank you, Thank you. I was referred to Dr Thomas for complex PVC's that were making me feel like I was at the end of my shelf life. Dr Thomas spent time getting to know me and saw things that most specialists don't see. For once I was taken seriously. He performed his magic (cardiac ablation) and for the first time in 4 years, I feel like a normal person. Why would I refer anyone to Dr Thomas? He explains things as they are, does not give false expectation, has empathy, and he and his team, (Nadia) worked in sync.
