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 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.
