The Winfield is a great hospital, everyone there was helpful and kind. Rooms and facilities were comfortable and clean.

Skill-full and professional , the difference since the procedure has been remarkable. We truly appreciate the time you and your team took to explain every step of the process, address our concerns and provide reassurance throughout. The gentle manner and genuine concern we were treated with made what could have been a stressful experience into one filled with confidence and trust.
Mr Okechuku was efficient and fantastic. My tonsillectomy only took 20 odd minutes to complete, all the staff were super professional, polite and caring. The after care was fantastic and all staff came and checked up on my regularly after the operation. I would highly recommend Mr Okechukwu Okonkwo to anyone.
Mr Okonkwo was very friendly and explained things clearly.
Mr Okonkwo is an excellent ENT consultant with specialist expertise in nasal and sinus surgery and a particular interest in smell disorders. They provide thoughtful, evidence-based and patient-centred care, and I would be very happy to recommend them to patients seeking expert assessment and treatment for nasal obstruction, sinus disease or smell-related concerns.
