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.

He has been thorough with his examinations and diagnostic tests, honest about the information he provides while always providing a positive approach towards the treatment. I feel reassured that I am in good hands after meeting with him. My issues have been recurring but I feel like he is always fighting the fight with me without giving up. I feel like he genuinely cares about his patients’ well being.

Professional. Straightforward explanation and scans done quickly with clear demonstration of the matter. Very happy with outcome as I had a very negative two and a half years with the NHS.

I came for the treatment of my halitosis . The doctor saw my nasal endoscopy report done by the GP and then he asked for the results of my HPylori test. The only thing which I would like to have is to get the next action plan as the doctor told me that we have to wait for the results. Should I book another appointment if the results come in negative
