Mr Philip Robinson is described as professional, reassuring, and kind in his patient interactions. He provides clear explanations and thorough care for various ear, nose, and throat conditions. Patients report successful outcomes from procedures such as grommet insertions, tonsillectomies, and treatments for chronic nasal issues. Sinusitis is a common and recurring concern for many patients treated by Mr Robinson.
Dr Robinson is excellent, always kind and very knowledgeable. Explains things clearly and answers all questions thrown at him, with patience and kindness. Was great with our son and made us all feel at ease.
Mr Robinson was very professional. He gave me a clear solution after the initial consultation and was very clear on what would happen and how to resolve my problems.
Thank you very much for your nice message. I hope that you will see some significant improvement in your nasal function after the treatment.
My appointment with Philip Robinson couldn't have gone better. I went to him as a singer with issues about my throat - roughness and some minor issues caused from previously singing through a cold. He gave me a laryngoscopy then and there during our initial consultation, prescribed my some medication, and referred me to a speech therapist. His avuncular manner and friendly dispossession helped put me at ease, and he explained everything to me in layman's terms, helping me understand the best course of action for my vocal challenges. Additionally, he removed some unexpected hard wax build-up in my ears.
Thank you for your nice comments. I hope that your voice is improving now. The specialist voice therapists are superb and very helpful.
Very thorough explanation of all options. Made us feel at ease, was professional and kind.
Thank you.
I had an excellent experience with Phillip. He was incredibly warm, kind and empathetic from the outset, and took the time to explain everything clearly in accessible, layman’s terms. I’m not an expert, but I never felt rushed or talked down to — he made a complex situation feel straightforward and manageable. Phillip was also impressively efficient. Within the space of around 30 minutes, he arranged the necessary test, discussed the results, and talked me through next steps. If these appointments had been done separately, it would likely have taken months. I felt genuinely listened to and well cared for, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.
Thank you very much for your nice comments. Providing a comprehensive assessment and plan is a very rewarding part of my job which i very much enjoy! Thank you !
Very good, very reassuring. Highly recommend!
Thank you!
Mr Robinson was very kind, considerate and informative about my condition. He explained perfectly and in detail about my options for treatment with surgery and left me in no doubt I would be in safe hands.
Thank you very much for your nice comments
I came to see Mr Robinson about an infection in my left ear that wasn't clearing. Mr Robinson put me at ease right away he spoke clearly and loud enough for me to hear .He explained everything I asked and explained his diagnosis clearly . I left feeling I understood clearly my ear problem and the path ahead to deal with getting it better
Thank you very much. I’m glad that it was helpful.
Having seen an NHS practice nurse a GP and an audiologist for hearing problems a visit to Mr Robinson identified and successfully treated the problem at the first appointment.
Thank you very much!
Follow up appt post surgery and recovery. Very clear feedback
Thank you. I’m glad it all went well.
