  • 100% excellent treatment. Listened attentively to description of problem and history. On examination identified two different issues, not only the one described. Treated both with ease and professionalism and sent me in my way a happy man. Very many thanks.

  • First time visit to see a Ent doctor, wasn’t too sure what to expect. We found Mr Wheatley by good reviews online and easy access to an appointment. The centre was easy to find, staff friendly, waiting room quiet and pleasant. Appointment took 15 mins, we got answers.

  • Mr. Wheatley gave me a very quick diagnosis which makes complete sense but is in contrast to another private ENT consultant and more in line with Nhs diagnosis. He listened very, very carefully so I was impressed. Good manner
