- It was such a pleasure to meet Professor Lolyd. He was everything I had hoped he would be. He listened to my concerns and was extremely reassuring. His examination was more thorough than I have received elsewhere and the plan for how we proceed was clearly expressed. Professor Lloyd was respectful and I didn't feel at all rushed. I have a great respect for him and know that he will do whatever he can for me. I'm so grateful to have found him.
- Professor Lloyd was very kind and patient. Helped me a lot with sinusitis.
- I have only had one appointment but I could not have been happier with the consultation and the entire experience
- He was very good, felt listened to and not rushed. He was honest and made options for future care clear
- No help with advice on coping with tinnitus his knowledge of available treatments and aids was less than mineDoctor's response -Thank you for providing feedback. I am sorry that you were unhappy with our consultation. You have had tinnitus for some time and have pursued opinions from many other tinnitus specialists before me. You have tried all the established treatments for tinnitus as well as some that do not necessarily have a strong evidence base. Some of these treatments have been helpful for you. I wish I could offer you something more but, unfortunately, there are no other the treatment options for tinnitus above and beyond what you have already tried. We discussed further tinnitus therapy and that remains an option for you which I would be very happy to arrange if you wished me to.
- Very thorough very professional.
- I was initially worried that a 15 minute appointment would not cover everything that needed to be done, but I felt that I was given adequate time and not rushed at all.
- Everyone was friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make the visit easier. My only comment would be that it would have been helpful for Professor Lloyd to have had access to the records of my previous visit in 2015.
- Everything was very satisfactory.
- I had a very good experience and look forward to meeting with Professor Lloyd in the near future.
