Cardiologist Team

Neil trained at the University of Melbourne, Royal Melbourne Hospital (RMH) and Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston. 

He is on the staff of the RMH and is an Associate Professor of the University of Melbourne.  He has a wide experience in general cardiology including arrhythmias, valve problems and ischaemia.  He implants and follows-up pacemakers and defibrillators.   For many years, he was the only practitioner in Victoria accredited to remove infected or faulty pacemaker leads, a procedure he now performs in conjunction with Dr Gareth Wynn. 

She is a Cardiologist at the RMH and has a particular interest in general adult cardiology and adult patients with congenital heart disease.

Leanne consults and reports echos at Cato Cardiology and  also performs treadmill stress echos.

She is on the staff of the Alfred Hospital and is undertaking research into blood pressure regulation disorders associated with syncope at the BakerIDI Heart and Diabetes Institute.

Associate Professor Gareth Wynn is a consultant cardiologist at The Royal Melbourne Hospital, Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Melbourne, Chair of the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand (CSANZ) Lead Extraction Accreditation Committee, Course Director of the CSANZ Cardiac Masterclass Series and a member of various national and international committees.

  Gareth specialises in the management of heart rhythm disorders and is a European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) Certified Electrophysiology (EP) Specialist, performing EP studies and ablations as well as implantation of pacemakers and defibrillators, including biventricular, subcutaneous and extravascular devices. He is Australia’s highest volume extractor of chronically implanted pacemaker and defibrillator leads. Gareth works at a number of private hospitals including Epworth Richmond, Melbourne Private, Warringal Private and St John of God, Geelong.

Gareth moved to Australia from the UK in 2015, having completed undergraduate studies at the University of Manchester and a postgraduate Doctor of Medicine (Research) degree into Atrial Fibrillation at Imperial College London, ranked one of the top ten universities in the world. He completed specialist Cardiology and Electrophysiology training at Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital (LHCH), at the time the UK's largest single site cardiovascular centre.

Gareth has an interest in patient-centered clinical research, especially in atrial fibrillation and his research is cited in current international guidelines. His research won him the British Heart Rhythm Society's Young Investigator Award as well as awards from the British Cardiovascular Society and British Heart Foundation. He has particular expertise in heart rhythm disorders, including atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia, syncope (collapse), fast or slow heart rates and pacemakers or defibrillators. He has pioneered performing ablation procedures without the use of potentially harmful x-ray radiation and sits on the steering committee of several international, multi-centre randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
