- Very happy to say that Mr Borsetto was very pleasant to deal with, knowledgeable and efficient. He explained everything clearly to me, answered my questions and dealt with me with kindness and courtesy and understanding of my specific circumstances. My surgery outcome is great and it has made a significant improvement to my quality of life. I found all staff to be warm and efficient.
- Fantastic doctor helped me breathe again in no time. Septoplasty surgery and recovery went smoothly!
- All 1st class.Very appreciative of Dr Borsetto as operation a success and my hearing restored.Wonderful.
- Fantastic service. Thank you so much again for everything :)
- Very good, everything was explained and I understood what was happening.
- This was the second time I saw Mr. Borsetto, on both occasions I was seen early. He dealt with my issue promptly and recommended a few steps to further evaluate my issue (thank goodness he did).
- I strongly recommend Mr Borsetto. An amazingly kind and knowledgeable man who is 100% invested in his patients and only wanting the best for them. I genuinely look forward to every appointment and he always makes time to support me when I need it.
- Mr. Daniele Borsetto performed my ear perforation surgery with great skill and care. The procedure was successful, and my ear has fully healed. Excellent support, professionalism, and compassion throughout—highly recommended.
- The waiting area was crowded and we had to sit on seats along main entrance where it was difficult to work. The coffee machine was out of action. I was given electronically three differing times for my appointment on arrival the time was the original but luckily was seen early
- Very happy with the process. Hopefully after Mr Borsetto's input going in the right direction in dealing with my tinnitus and hearing loss.
