His practice covers most areas of Adult and Paediatric ENT surgery with areas of interest including ear infections, blocked ears, nasal blockage and sinusitis, sleep disorders, hearing loss and voice problems.

Mr Lim qualified from St George's Hospital Medical School. He then undertook training in both general and Ear, Nose and Throat. He completed his specialist ENT training, covering all aspects of ENT, in the South-West Thames region. Furthermore, he completed further training that was more specialised in paediatric ENT surgery, rhinology and facial plastic surgery; he undertook this training at Great Ormond Street Hospital, Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals, and St George's hospital, in London, as well as hospitals in Zurich, Switzerland.

He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, having successfully completed three separate exminations in General Surgery, ENT surgery, and Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery. He has been on the General Medical Council's Specialist Register for Otolaryngology since 2008.

He was appointed as Lead Clinician for the ENT department at Medway Hospital from 2011-2017, and as Clinical Director for surgery at Medway Hospital from 2016-2018.

He is dedicated to providing high standards of ENT care to his patients and is motivated to continually improving patient access to ENT services. Furthermore, he has maintained excellent communication with both patients and his colleagues which adds to his level of patient care.

Mr. Lim was highly professional and took the time to explain the full detail of my daughters perforated tympanic membrane (eardrum) and the agreed treatment thereof. He also took the time to explain and answer the many questions that she posed on the risks, cause and effect of the perforation. The repair operation was faultless with in depth explanations provided of post operation hygiene and care procedures. He provided extensive checks during the follow up visits and explanations of how the repair procedure was undertaken. Mr. Lim's dealings with our case was fantastic!

Mr Lim is professional, friendly and I could not recommend him enough. He operated on my daughter back in 2024 and when my son had similar issues we booked straight to see Mr Lim. He recently performed an adenotonsillectomy and inserted grommets for my son, it’s totally changed his life for the better. He is no longer mouth breathing, he doesn’t snore, his speech is clearer and his hearing test has now shown normal hearing. My son is only 4 but Mr Lim was brilliant putting him at ease both during consultations and on the day of surgery. For anything ENT related I wouldn’t want to see anyone else.

He was very professional and efficient. He showed great care with his examination and treatment, and was also kind and considerate. It was not rushed in any way and I felt very reassured that I was in good hands.
