Dr Turner is a very experienced and knowledgeable respiratory physician. We treated patients who had combined respiratory and ENT problems many times. I find him to be very approachable, available and efficient in dealing with my referrals. The patients we treated have great trust in him and so do I.

Endocrinology & DiabetesDr Richard Turner and I worked side by side diagnosing and managing patients together at King’s College Hospital and we continue to consider the care of patients together now. He is an excellent colleague, a caring, thoughtful, calm and sensible respiratory and general physician. I would see him myself, have a family member see him and always be happy if a patient of mine saw him, and I would know they were in good hands.
