I recently saw Dr. Francesco Lo Monaco after experiencing chest pain and worrying it could be heart-related. He was attentive, thorough and highly efficient, quickly reassuring me through the appropriate tests that my heart was healthy and the pain was not cardiac-related. I would highly recommend him. A special mention also goes to Alessandra, his assistant, who is an absolute gem. She was incredibly efficient, responsive and kept me informed throughout the entire process. An excellent team and a very reassuring experience from start to finish.

I went to see Dr Lo Monaco after having an unsatisfactory appointment with a different cardiologist, I cannot recommend Dr Lo Monaco enough, his attention to detail was unparalleled and he took the time to go into my history and ensure that he had every detail of my health covered, he was very very pleasant, calm, reassuring and made sure I had a comprehensive and detailed picture of my heart health, I cannot stress enough that no matter how unsure you are about your heart health, this is definitely the place to go, it was comforting to know that any worries I had, no matter how slight or great, they were all met with the same high level of attention, I feel so much more relaxed about my heart health after my appointments with Dr Lo Monaco, he is an absolute gentleman and a shining example of what the medical profession should be

I cannot recommend Dr. Francesco Lo Monaco highly enough. From my initial consultation regarding concerning chest pain, his level of care, professionalism, and expertise were truly outstanding. What immediately sets Dr. Lo Monaco apart is his incredible attention to detail and active listening. During our meeting, he asked all the right questions and took note of every single detail of my medical history and symptoms without missing a single thing. He made me feel completely heard and valued as a patient. When it came to investigating my chest pain, his approach was methodical, targeted, and refreshingly ethical. Rather than ordering a blanket of unnecessary procedures that would only drive up costs, he carefully selected the exact diagnostics needed for an accurate diagnosis. His care was seamless across both The Clementine Churchill Hospital and The National Heart Clinic on Harley Street, where I underwent an ECG, an angiogram, a 72-hour heart monitor, and stress tests. Throughout the testing process, Dr. Lo Monaco explained every procedure clearly, ensuring I felt completely at ease. He is deeply personal, deeply caring, and represents the absolute gold standard of what a consultant cardiologist should be: brilliant clinically, transparent with costs, and wholly dedicated to his patients' well-being. If you are looking for a top-tier heart specialist in London, look no further.

The most positive experience with Dr Francesco Lo Monaco and team. Punctual and flexible call hours, extremely astute and efficient learn health history, cover/test a very wide range of variables related, and confident/ making me confident in the diagnosis. All of which was accomplished within a short period (some of which was done remotely as well). Equally, Dr Francesco Lo Monaco‘s team of doctors and nurses were professional, knew exactly what they were doing and polite/welcoming the whole time. My most “heart” felt thank you to the Doc and team, and can only offer my highest recommendations!

Dr Lo Monaco is very patient focused and clearly explains the results of tests and what he recommends as the next steps. His calm demeanour and clear explanations are very reassuring. He also has a very efficient and friendly support team.

I simply cannot put into words how grateful I am for Dr Lo Monaco. When I was worried and unsure about my heart health and DCB procedure, he didn’t just treat my condition he truly cared for me. He listens with such kindness, explains everything until I understood, and gave me the courage and reassurance I so desperately needed. His skill, patience and gentle nature have made such a huge difference to my recovery and my life. He is not just an outstanding doctor, but a truly wonderful human being. I feel blessed to be under his care , thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Dr. LoMonaco is an exceptionally caring, attentive, and knowledgeable cardiologist. From my very first appointment, I felt truly listened to and cared for. He takes the time to explain medical terms and treatment options clearly and patiently, which makes a real difference. His team is equally kind, responsive, and attentive to every detail. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Dr. LoMonaco and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a cardiologist who combines outstanding expertise with genuine compassion.

DR FRANCESCO LO MONACO

Dr Francesco Lo Monaco is one of the UK’s leading cardiologists, providing expert cardiology and preventive heart care services across London. His specialisation is in preventive and functional cardiology – a discipline that treats the root causes of heart disease, not just its symptoms. 

As Founder and Director of The National Heart Clinic, Dr Lo Monaco has built a practice on a powerful belief that with the right diagnosis, care, and guidance, heart disease is not inevitable. It can be delayed, reversed, and in many cases, prevented entirely.

A 3-time recipient of the European Award in Medicine (2022, 2024, & 2025), he is recognised across the medical community for his clinical excellence, pioneering diagnostic work, and an unwavering commitment to patient-centred care.

The Story Behind My Journey 

From a Sicilian Table to the Heart of Modern Medicine

“I grew up in Sicily, where food, family, and care were everything. That is where my love story with the heart began”.

In my family, meals were not just about eating – they were about connection. We would sit around the table for hours, talking, laughing, and sharing stories. This is where I learned that the heart is not merely an organ that keeps us alive; it is the centre of who we are. It is where love, compassion, and togetherness live.

Medicine took me far from that Sicilian table – first to Milan, then New York, and finally to London’s Harley Street. Each city shaped me in its own way, teaching me science, precision, and the importance of excellence in care. I learned that the best medicine is never just about treating disease. It is about preventing it and helping people live longer, fuller, and more meaningful lives. 

Then I met Audrey Elena, the woman who would become my wife. As a nutritionist, she brought a more holistic, functional understanding of health that felt new to someone trained in the classical medical tradition. Through her insight, I was opened to a more preventive and functional approach to healing.

That shift led me to establish specialist clinics in London focused on preventive cardiology and functional medicine. We combine modern medicine with a focus on prevention, lifestyle, and nutrition, where every patient is seen as a whole person body, mind, and heart.

“Over the years, I have cared for thousands of hearts: executives under pressure, athletes pushing their limits, and people simply wanting more healthy years with the ones they love. Each story reinforced the same truth: prevention is the most powerful form of healing.”
