Explanation

Having had problems breathing following a sporting injury for many years, i decided to have my septum straightened. Mr Oliver Dale performed my consultation and surgery. some 8 weeks on my breathing has vastly improved to the point where i no longer need to use my inhaler when exercising. I would recommend Mr Dale as he has changed my ability to breath freely

I consulted Mr Dale with a blocked ear problem. He asked pertinent questions and listened carefully to my answers. He explained the diagnosis to me in layman’s terms and prescribed a course of treatment which was extremely effective and cured the problem. Mr Dake was approachable, sympathetic, gentle, friendly and professional.

Mr Oliver Dale saved my life, he explained clearly where my cancer was, the realistic benefits and complications that could be the result. There was a chance I could have not been able to talk, drink or eat. Where as now I am talking, drinking and eating soft foods and this is all within 3 months of my operation. I am truly grateful for everything that Mr Oliver done has done. My scars are barely visible and everything he had done for me was done with the greatest of care and outstanding ability. After the 12 Operation he still took the time to phone my partner and answer all her questions. He never makes you feel rushed and is always happy to explain things clearly. He has a relaxing, calm, knowledgable and caring manner. With my cancer journey he has got to know me as a person and not just a patient, which has helped me more than I can explain in my recovery. It is extremely apparent that he is passionate about doing his very best for his patients in a professional caring manner. I will be eternally grateful for the rest of my life, that thanks to him I have

Explanation

I have been struggling with breathing issues for many years and have seen many specialists, all of which were unsuccessful. The decision to visit Dr Dale and receive a thorough investigation, explanation and cure was a great relief. His diagnosis and route to cure were very uncomplicated and gave me faith that he could work with me until the issue was resolved.

Explanation

I immediately felt at ease and was able to explain my symptoms. Although this first consultation was scheduled to last 20 minutes and included a variety of tests at no time did it feel rushed. Mr Dale was able to clearly detail all that he was doing and looking for. When the examination was concluded an MRI was recommended and arranged. I feel very fortunate to have found such an impressive consultant. I would have no hesitation in receiving further treatment from him or indeed recommending him to others.

I have known Oli Dale for more than 12 years, going back to our early training years through which I was always grateful for his time and generosity in going out of the way to pass on advice. He has a great reputation wherever he has worked since then, not only for being a fantastic surgeon trained to the highest levels, but also for his trustworthy and affable character - I would happily recommend him to treat any member of my family. I am delighted to see him appointed to his prestigious ENT position in Bristol.
