Mr Kuo was amazing. We had our consultation at the Birmingham Children's Hospital. He built an instant rapport with our child, making him feel at ease throughout the consultation, as well as explaining the needful information to us as parents. Great surgeon, my son loved him.

Having had problems with my daughters ear when flying, Michael Kuo was recommended to us. He was simply brilliant from start to finish, he gave us great confidence that our daughter was in safe hands and squeezed us in to perform the operation as he knew we had a holiday planned.
