- Thankyou for your advice
- I couldn’t recommend Dr Hull highly enough. He took my concerns seriously and accurately diagnosed my condition after years of being misdiagnosed with treatments not working, which has changed my life. In addition to being an excellent Dr, he is highly personable, kind, and thorough in investigating & noticing any other issues.
- Professor Hull was very helpful and professional, and explained everything clearly. I had a really positive experience.
- Absolutely brilliant experience seeing Prof Hull at the Institute of Sport. I'm no pro athlete, so was worried I'd feel out of place here, but I couldn't have been more wrong. Prof Hull was incredibly efficient and knowledgeable, running through a range of tests and getting to the bottom of my breathing problems in no time. I went on to be treated in his NHS clinic and had an excellent experience in both settings. Thank you!
- A little frustrated as the test I attended for at 9am (meaning an overnight stay) was not carried out till it was too late. What was said in clinic was different from the letter that was sent out and now the implication is that it was not necessary anyway. Unfortunately I currently feel worse than I did when I was referred having stopped all drugs and I still don't know what the problem or plan is going forward
- Excellent service - would highly recommend Prof James Hull and the team at the ISEH
- I had a consultation and a CPET test with Prof James Hull and his team. I was really impressed with the practice. Very professional, really appreciated the way everything was explained in a clear way, I never felt rushed. There was barely any waiting time.
- I've had my share of good, average and not so great doctors. Dr Hull stands out as one of the best, and I'm so grateful to him for being caring, proactive and transparent when explaining things. He's had a big impact and if you have the misfortune to have a medical need to see him, know that you're in great hands.
- Professor Hull answered all my questions clearly and succinctly. I was completely satisfied with my meeting with him as usual.
