- I cannot recommend Dr Pepper highly enough. We have seen him twice for Glue Ear and lip tie/tongue tie assessment and will visit him on June again. He is so caring and attentive, and his outstanding communication skills made a huge difference for us. He explained everything in a clear and reassuring way and showed genuine care for my child. He is incredibly knowledgeable and very experienced. If you are looking for a pediatric ENT, he is an incredible doctor you want to see.
- Mr. Pepper was outstanding. Professional, warm, and patient. He explained everything clearly and put us at ease throughout. We couldn’t have asked for better care.
- We couldn’t of felt safer putting our baby in Doctor Peppers hands, he had a tonsil & adenoid removal along with grommets inserted and within a matter of days we’re already seeing the benefits of the surgery. The day went very smoothly and all went so much better than I had expected, Ronnie was kept comfortable and was very well looked after, would highly recommend to others. Our nurse Lindsay was also so friendly and attentive and we felt safe at all times.
- We had the absolute privilege of being seen by Mr Christopher Pepper for our child, Kiitan, and I cannot express enough how exceptional our experience was. From the very first interaction, Mr Pepper was incredibly kind, calm, and genuinely reassuring. As a parent, it’s not easy trusting someone with your child’s care, especially when surgery is involved, but his empathy and professionalism immediately put us at ease. We are forever grateful
- I would highly recommend Chris to anyone requiring paediatric ENT services. Professional and approachable, providing us with clear, concise and pragmatic advice. His manner with our son was great, taking the time to foster trust and make him feel comfortable. Follow up care was great- checking post operatively and providing reassuring advice. The team at the Portland Hospital were exemplary.
- Mr Pepper and his team at the Portland Hospital are truly exceptional. The whole process from first consultation to post-surgery was faultless. Anyone considering which ENT specialist is right for them, should have a consultation with Mr Pepper. We are certain that they will find his expertise and knowledge second to none and feel 100% trusting that he's the best person for their child, as we did. He's a credit to his profession and we are lucky to have him.
- For 4 years, my son suffered from breathing problems, and doctors in different hospitals said he had asthma and kept giving him steroids. The only one who discovered that my son had grade 4 tonsils and 90% enlarged adenoids was Dr. Pepper. After the surgery, which went very well, my son never had breathing problems again, stopped the steroids, and has made great progress in his development. We bless Dr. Pepper every day.
- Dr. Pepper’s care for my son was outstanding and truly one of a kind. From the beginning, his team was welcoming, supportive, and very accommodating. We are extremely happy with the results and deeply appreciate the thoughtful and thorough aftercare. We are very grateful for the level of care provided.
