- Excellent facility, friendly staff. Mr Kuo was brilliant and really helped me out in my situation.
- Amazing consultant, and always have a lovely experience at Birmingham children’s hospital. Mr Kuo has look after both my children and he is fabulous, so kind and caring and makes a real and genuine effort with the children. Highly recommend.
- We had a very good experience. Mr Kuo explained everything clearly and my son is recovering well after the surgery. Thank you so much.
- I entered the clinic with worry and doubt, but left with a smile and the joy of having found the problem. The doctor chatted with me informally, essentially to see how the patient was doing. The examination process was precise and completely comfortable; all I had to do was relax. Finally, the source of the problem was found, and treatment can be targeted accordingly. Other supplementary tests, recovery will take some time. Thank you Mr. Michael Guo for the treatment.
- I want to thank you Dr. Kuo for the exceptional care during my son surgery. From the first appointment Dr. Kuo gave us as a parents the confidence that Vlad is in the best hands possible. A big thank you also to the team(Jade, nurses, anesthetist) and all who support us.
- Will definitely recommend Mr Kuo and will visit again if same problem occurs. Thank you
- Mr Kuo is amazing. He explained how he can help my 6-year-old son, how I can help him, and spoke to my son about how he can help himself. I appreciate the thoughtful plan he made for my son. We left feeling supported, educated, and ready for the journey ahead with Mr Kuo.
- Everything was excellent. We did have to wait an hour between the hearing test and seeing Mr Kuo, which was a long wait time for Archie, However, it was every bit worth the wait. Mr Kuo came highly recommended to me and I would highly recommend him to others.
- On arrival the hospital had my appointment at 14.30 instead of 13.30 which meant I had to wait an hour. This error was inconvenient for myself.
