Mr Chessman is an excellent consultant. I have felt in safe hands during my ear condition. It is clear he is very knowledgable and an expert in his field.
Dr Chessman has been wonderful from the beginning, his bedside manner is nothing but professional. He gives clear explanations and answers to any questions his patients may have. It was so nice to be seeing the same doctor throughout the whole process, it’s not often that happens now! Thank you Dr Chessman for the wonderful surgery you performed, my scar is almost nonexistent and my hearing has improved!
I went in with pulsatile tinnitus concerns, after having a gromit surgery recommendation the procedure was great. Very little to no pain after a day's recovery, and he is an exemplary member of the team.
I was explained about the procedure needed step by step and was made to feel calm about the surgery. Couldn’t have asked for a better consultant.
Mr Chessman has been brilliant throughout the process of our son’s two ear drum perforation repairs, from consultations to surgery and follow up he has always been professional, caring and concise with his advice & information. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. Many thanks Mr Chessman, from the Foote’s.
Had a tonsillectomy on the 23rd June! Everything went smoothly and everything was explained clearly. The staff were all lovely and I had a very good experience
Nice enough guy gave me the impression he didn’t like me much, can’t say why🥴
Very happy with the surgery and care thereafter, despite bumps in the road to recovery that is never a straight line journey
Appointment on time, Mr Chessman welcoming, felt at ease and had complete confidence . He gave as much time as necessary answering all questions . Having arrived worried , I left feeling in control and fully informed
I have the pleasure of working closely with Mr Rob Chessman as a colleague at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust and Hampshire ENT Clinics. He is an outstanding otologist and general ENT surgeon whose calm manner, meticulous surgery and clear communication consistently inspire confidence in both patients and colleagues alike. I have no hesitation in recommending Rob for an ear/otology issue. He is fantastic!
