Dr Sonny Palmer, one of our former outstanding advanced trainees and then fellows at St Vincent's Hospital, has joined my rooms as an associate. Sonny is an interventional cardiologist, whose special interest is coronary artery disease management including stenting (he is the "plumber" while I'm more the "electrician and pump mechanic"). Sonny's special interest is also in valvular heart disease, especially minimally invasive techniques to replace the aortic valve. He has undertaken extra training in this technique in the UK at Middlesborough, and will be working with the other cardiologists at St Vincent's Hospital performing this procedure - it's called TAVI.

Sonny can be contacted through our main number of 03 94117227 as well.
