Appreciated how knowledgeable Mr Brookes was, and also was pleased that it felt like he did a thorough clinical assessment on me. That said, I have to say I didn’t feel particularly listened to, and that was because it felt like he was in a major rush to get me out as quickly as possible. It felt like I had 5 seconds to respond to questions with zero time to consider them. I paid to go privately so I really could have a good chat with someone about my problems I have been having. A couple things that would have improved things further would have been introducing himself and asking me if I had any questions at the end.

This was my second visit here, and I would highly recommend the clinic. Gerald is highly knowledgeable, and this is the second time I have seen him regarding my ear condition. I felt confident in his expertise and appreciated the care he provided. The appointment was professional, thorough, and informative. Gerald explained the findings clearly and demonstrated a high level of expertise, which gave me confidence in the care I received. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced ENT specialist.
