From the start to finish of treatment absolutely brilliant experience. Every step from the first consult to surgery and after care was done to highest standard. Doctor Gane found a optimal solution for my issue and it was great experience in all. I am extremely grateful that my case ended in the hands of excellent professional like Doctor Gane.

From my experience, Mr Simon Gane is an extremely good doctor. He was the second doctor I spoke to after seeking another opinion. His approach was very thorough, and he ran many tests to ensure that whatever was recommended was backed up by results of a proper investigation into my condition. Additionally, he also took all the additional time to make sure that I also knew exactly what he was thinking and the reasons for the different tests, and made sure I understood his diagnosis so I could also research on my own or even seek an another opinion. Ultimately, we opted to do a septoplasty surgery which went very well and I felt informed and looked after throughout the process.

Mr Gane has been very meticulous in understanding and treating my nasal and other issues. I travel 150 miles each way and have done for nearly 2 years to benefit from his experience. To be able to breathe through my nose and smell again is wonderful. Thank you Mr Gane

Clear in explanation; reassuring in manner; able to speak human (as opposed to doctor).

Mr. Gane significantly exceeded my expectations with his expertise, thorough investigation, and efficiency. He enquired extensively about my symptoms and pertinent medical history and then explained potential diagnostic avenues. He then arranged relevant tests the same day! Finally, he provided clear follow up letters summarizing the test results, diagnosis, and treatment plan. I would highly recommend him.

I saw Simon Gane because I was having difficulties breathing and felt that I had a blockage in one nostril. I also had suspicions that my sinuses might be blocked. I found him personable and caring. He listened to me and responded to questions in plain language. Most importantly, from the results of an endoscopic examination and CT scan, he explained that I have a deviated septum, which is restricting airflow in one nostril. He proposed several options for alleviating/curing the symptoms, ranging from cheap devices to wear at night, to surgery. As I am self funding, he itemised the likely costs of surgery should I be treated privately. He also has an NHS practice, although waiting times are far longer. The scan showed that my sinuses were clear. I couldn’t feel more relieved to finally understand what is going on and now feel that there is a clear way forward. I would highly recommend Simon Gane.

Mr Gane has helped me on two separate occasions and is extremely excellent. I highly recommend Mr Gane.

Simon has found the answer to a sinus condition I have suffered with for forty years where other experts have failed. By a careful process of testing, examination and discussion he was able to isolate the cause and prescribe an effective treatment. It makes a huge difference to finally understand the underlying cause and have a plan you can be confident will deal with it. The impact on my overall quality of life is significant.
