Mr Gerard Kelly

Written by a NHS patient at Leeds General Infirmary

I went to Mr. Kelly for hearing problems for my 14-year-old son. I was extremely worried as my two appointments with my GP did not diagnose the problem. The problem had been there for 12 weeks and the worry was permanent hearing loss. We received an appointment with Mr. Kelly. On the appointment day, Mr. Kelly came to collect us for the clinic. He was extremely polite, gentle, and humble. He listened to the problem fully and then carried on with the detailed history and examination. All this time, he kept on talking to me and my son and kept us fully informed. My son was immediately comfortable and re-assured. We felt as if we were with a family friend rather than a consultant ENT surgeon. My son then had a hearing test and was seen again by Mr. Kelly. He explained to us the cause of the hearing loss, showed us the results of investigations, and explained the results. He discussed the treatment options and was very clear as to what would be the best option. He also explained what should we look for in the future to prompt another appointment with him. After this appointment, all my worries (and my son's) were gone and we feel very reassured. He had all the time for us, listened to us, and was very thorough. I found him the best and I could recommend him without hesitation.

Having been struggling with breathing issues for close to three years, seen multiple doctors / specialists and been prescribed every nasal spray under the sun I was beginning to lose hope so I decided to go private. I am a stickler for doing my research and after narrowing down a list of five ENT consultants Mr Kelly came up trumps. Why did he? 1 - Highly specialised in the areas of ENT. One read of his background and bio would show he is extremely capable of solving my issue. Link to his website - https://www.leedsent.com/ 2 - Reviews online state he is very empathetic towards his patients and LISTENS to their needs and problems intently. Link to patient reviews -https://www.iwantgreatcare.org/doctors/mr-gerard-kelly 3 - His online videos performing surgery show a well natured professional who takes immense pride in his work. Link to surgery video (discretion advised) - https://youtu.be/RmMYPVouIiQ After my first consultation Gerard made me feel at ease straight away, he understood why I was agitated by not being able to breath and documented all my symptoms thoroughly. Might I add, out of all my appointments with previous medical professionals he was the only one who ordered allergy tests.. Unfortunately these came back negative and the next course of action was surgery! Septoplasty with turbinate reduction. Gerard answered all my concerns, made me aware of all risks associated with the surgery, healing time and what I needed to do for best recovery. Well I’m writing this one month after surgery and can say with a smile from ear to ear that I can now breath again, have zero pressure in the sides of my head and my quality of life has improved immensely. Thank you Gerard! Side note: He’s a good laugh too :)

I saw Mr Kelly following a diagnosis of Bells Palsy. He has a lovely caring manner, is easy to talk to and takes the time to explain everything. I had a query following my consultation and he replied to my email very quickly. He is obviously extremely knowledgeable and I found him very reassuring.

My treatment by Mr Kelly at Spire Hospital, Leeds has been exemplary. I have had the same problem with my ears for 22 years and in all of that time Mr Kelly is the first person I have encountered who is curious and interested in looking for both the cause and solution to my problem.
