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.
