Professor Bruce performed myringoplasty (ear drum repairs) on my twins. He explained the procedures in an age appropriate way to them, was kind, empathetic and professional. I have no hesitation in recommending him.
Professor Bruce is clear, thorough and extremely good when dealing with my young daughter.
Brilliant doctor, listened to my concerns, diagnosed problems and explained treatment options clearly, 100% percent happy with service provided, I recommend his services to you.
Professor Bruce is fantastic, he explains things well and in detail. My child had issues with ear infections and has now had grommets fitted which have worked wonders.
Absolutely amazing service, our daughter had surgery just a few weeks ago. The full process with Professor Iain Bruce was outstanding, super efficient and made us feel at ease. The day of the surgery was timed to perfection and the care was fantastic. Just being home a few weeks our daughter is already so much happier, we’re seeing improvements in her speech and no more unsettled nights! Couldn’t thank him and the team enough we are so grateful
Professor Bruce has been fantastic with our 3 year old, from initial consultation, the survey and the post opp appointment. He put our mind at ease over our concerns and guided us through each process calmly. We are extremely grateful for the swift diagnosis and operation shortly after. Also, to mention he has a wonderful practice manager in Chloe that helped arrange everything super smoothly no matter the hurdle.
Prof Bruce recently diagnosed and operated on our 2-yr old little boy for glue ear, he underwent adenoidectomy and grommet insertion. The care we received was fantastic from start to finish (clinic, surgery and post op). Everything was clearly explained, Prof. Bruce was lovely at every step of the way - as were all of the staff at The Spire. And the surgery was a success with no complications. Thank you!
clear explanation. Efficient. Good service along with the nurses for a 3 year old.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Care from Professor Bruce I cannot recommend Professor Bruce highly enough. From the moment we met him, the level of professionalism, care, and expertise was exceptional. Professor Bruce took the time to listen carefully, explain everything clearly, and made us feel completely at ease throughout our journey with our son. His knowledge and attention to detail were outstanding, and I felt confident that I was receiving the very best care. Nothing felt rushed, and every question I had was answered with patience and clarity. It’s rare to find a specialist who combines such high levels of clinical expertise with genuine kindness and reassurance. The entire experience was smooth, professional, and incredibly reassuring. If you are looking for a private ENT specialist who truly goes above and beyond, Professor Bruce is absolutely first class. Highly recommended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ thank you for everything Professor Bruce and Adam! Sam, Ryan and Corey B.
Excellent service and care, we couldn't have asked for more!
Highly regarded as one of the best experts in the field, prof Bruce has treated me as a patient recently and was super responsive, accurate, reassuring, kind and provided highest level of care. I would recommend him to all of my patients, friends and family, overall fantastic experience!
