Mr Simon Gane is friendly, professional, reassuring, and patient with patients. He provides clear explanations for complex nasal and sinus issues, conducting thorough investigations that build patient confidence for successful treatment outcomes. His comprehensive care, from diagnosis to surgery and aftercare, improves quality of life. Nasal blockage, rhinitis, and deviated septum are common concerns for patients, with Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) a typical intervention.
It is always a pleasure to visit Dr. Gane’s surgery. I went for my follow up appointment after my nose operation. Dr. Gane removed the splints in my nostrils and confirmed that the operation was a success. Now I can breathe properly. Thank you Dr. Gane!
I have visited Simon Gane numerous times this year following a complex recovery from a ‘minor’ nasal operation with the NHS early in 2026. Simon is patient, professional and extremely knowledgeable in ENT health and surgery matters, and beyond. Simon is reassuring and explains his thinking and next steps for treatment as part of the healing journey. Simon has a very natural and calm presence which immediately helps patients to relax, even during difficult initial examinations where tissue is yet to heal. I wish that Simon had operated on me initially as I feel his experience could have led to a different / more appropriate clinical approach to the one used originally. Nothing but praise for Simon and a massive thank you for believing in me and helping me to heal up to this point. Still on a journey but hugely improved - thank you!
Everything was explained patiently and well and summarised after. It was all easy to understand and left me without any further concerns.

Doctor Simon Gane spent good time with us - explained my situation and put me at ease. He is very experienced and his diagnoses can be relied upon .
I have finally felt heard and DR Gane was able to help me understand what is going on with my nose so i can make plans to move forward. He is really friendly and patient with explanations.
Dr Gane, was always very kind and explained the options of treatment available for me, and the possible outcome of each. These helped me to finally make the right decision with an excellent result.

ENT SurgeonI am delighted to have Simon as one of my most trusted colleagues at the Royal National ENT & Eastman Dental Hospital. He is a leading figure in nasal surgery in the UK, and perhaps the foremost authority in smell disorders in the UK. I would highly recommend him for expert ENT care.
