Who we are

Heartbrain Private Clinic is a neuro-cardiac clinic with a dedicated group of senior cardiac specialists, technicians, nurses, psychologists and scientists who have a specific interest in the implications and impacts of large PFOs and ASDs on the human condition.

We strive to deliver a high standard of patient care and outcomes through highly structured protocols and good science.

We are involved in ongoing research and trials in association with a not-for-profit charity known as the PFO Research Foundation Ltd. 

We are based at Gold Coastal Private Hospital in association with Coastal Heart & Vascular. We accept referrals from any GP or specialist and regularly accommodate patients from interstate and overseas locations. We aim to provide a streamlined assessment and consultation service. Surgical procedures can also be booked in to match with your travel needs.
