Who Am I?
My name is Dr Chris Critoph, and I am a Consultant Cardiologist based in Bournemouth, Dorset. I trained in cardiology at major teaching hospitals in London and Australia, before moving to Dorset in 2015 with my wife and 2 young children.
I am an expert in diagnosing and treating problems affecting the heart, and am one of the very few UK specialists trained in assessing patients with a family history of heart disease and sports cardiology.
I am clinical lead for heart failure at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital. I run rapid access clinics for patients with heart symptoms, such as chest pain, shortness of breath and palpitations. I can often see patients the same day.
I also run a specialist heart assessment clinic for patients with a family history of heart disease, even if they have no symptoms themselves. This is particularly important because many patients have heart attacks out of the blue, with the only risk being a family history.
I am responsible for training Cardiologists of the future.
Outside of the hospital, I love spending time with my family, sport and cooking. I enjoy playing golf, tennis, football, weight training and cycling. I am passionate about healthy living and wellness, particularly nutrition and stress management including meditation.

Why go private?
First and foremost – you get to be seen without delay… and one of the best benefits, in fact, is you are guaranteed to see me at each and every visit, not a junior doctor.
There are no waiting lists or delays. Consultations last 45 minutes for new patients, and 30 minutes for follow ups.
This gives us lots of time to fully discuss your individual concerns and options for treatment, with all the time you need to answer any questions you may have, big or small.
You are guaranteed a warm reception at the clinic, which is in a nice environment, and we are used to putting people at ease.
You also get to see me at your convenience; you can make an appointment to see me at a time that suits you.
