Really friendly and put me as ease. Really listened to what I said wanted to get to the bottom of it. He was clear in his explanations and took his time answering any questions. I would definitely recommend.

Saw Dr Hobson today about some symptoms that I thought might be heart related. He was very thorough and explained things well.
I found doctor hobson to be very amiable. He was clear, precise and inspired a lot of confidence. My first appointment was a positive experience and I am happy to be under his care moving forwards.
We were extremely happy and felt very reassured after visiting Dr Hobson. He was extremely professional, polite, happy to listen to our concerns and answer any questions that we had - all the qualities of an exceptional doctor! After a very traumatic experience in Kenya where my husband had a heart attack , (although we received excellent medical treatment there ) we were very anxious about what the next steps are back in the uk and how delicate my husbands health was. Dr Hobson carefully explained everything to us and reassured us that he will do everything in his capacity to bring my husbands health back to as normal as before . He took his time reading reports and explaining things to us. I am so grateful to him and wish him the very best in his career . May he fix many hearts with his very kind heart!
I have seen Dr Hobson for years. As usual his advice was clear and excellent. He really takes time to explain everything. I feel very well looked after.
Just had my first consultation with Dr Hobson. He made me feel very relaxed, listened and explained things clearly.
I Saw Dr Hobson today and his diagnosis and explaination of my condition was both detailed and reassuring. He engaged. In an exceptionally sympathetic way, which left me in a very positive state of mind after I had seen him.
Dr Hobson was very caring and took time to listen to me and explain any questions I had.
I have seen Dr Hobson on two occasions regarding an arrhythmia which was concerning me, especially after a trip to QAH. At the first consultation he was clearly prepared having read my hospital notes and GP referral and took the time to establish my feelings and apprehensions. I found him to be extremely thorough and personable. My wife, who is a retired nursing sister, had made detailed notes which he clearly appreciated. He also took the time to address any concerns and questions raised by her. We decided to follow up with a subsequent appointment after investigations for the purpose of continuity and clarity as we felt Dr Hobson was brilliant. We came away with a clear understanding of the problem and a plan of action for the future. We cannot recommend him highly enough and will have no hesitation of seeing him again if required.
