I have always struggled with my ears so when I suspect something is wrong, I take it very seriously and its not something I ignore. Therefore, it was extremely important for me to see a Dr who was willing to listen and assist me in ensuring the right care was given to my ears. Dr Hone was a excellent in his care, he was thorough and listened to me. I would without a doubt use him as a preferred ENT not just for myself but my family too. I appreciate his time, patience and understanding on how serious my concerns were.

Mr Hone is an excellent, communicative colleague. He is patient centred, open and honest and a reliable doctor. Technically he is an excellent, efficient surgeon and is a doer. He has already implemented many initiative both in the NHS and private sector such as local anaesthetic and neck lump services which added strings to his bow. I would highly recommend him to my friends and family.
