Mr Lim has a very calm and reassuring manner. He was highly professional at all times, explaining thoroughly the possible problems that maybe encountered. He spoke clearly and respectfully to both my daughter and I, enabling us to make an informed choice about treatment. Mr Lim was kind and patient and spent the time to listen to our questions and alleviate our concerns. I would recommend Mr Lim without hesitation for any ear related surgery. We paid privately for my daughters proceedure and did a lot of research to find the best surgeon to meet her needs. We were not disappointed and neither will you be.

I got a private appointment within 24 hours and Dr Lim saw me on time. He asked what my problem was and other basic questions and explained that he could cauterise my nasal lining to minimise or remove chance if further nose bleeds. He administered local anaesthetic and carried out the procedure. He had a friendly and confident manner and clearly explained the after care recommendations. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

I was able to obtain an appointment with Mr Lim quickly at Somerfield Hospital and his secretary arranged for me to have a MRI scan at The Spire Hospital Walderslade. Mr Lim was most helpful as was his secretary by arranging other appointments speedily. I was able to discuss my problem when the results were to hand and he fully explained his views and the way forward . I fully appreciate the way in which I was treated both by Mr Lim and his secretary during the course of a worrying period.

My daughter was seen by Dr Lim at the Alexander Spire hospital. He swiftly made a judgement about her ongoing sinus condition and surgery was booked within a few weeks. My only criticism is that it was difficult to get hold of Mr Lim’s secretary when my daughter had a flare up in the interim, despite using the email address provided.
