AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
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.
