I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Skilbeck. He quickly familiarised himself with my history of chronic otological problems, examined the ear and cleared out the remaining debris. Then he formulated a plan, provided medication and answered all of my remaining questions. I left the clinic full of confidence that all my concerns had been addressed, and that help was at hand should I require it in the future.
