I've been deaf (single sided deafness) my entire life and have seen a lot of ENT consultants across the country. Joe is hands down the best and most incredible I've ever met. Even though I've only had one initial consultation with him, I can honestly say I think that there is no one I would trust more. From the minute I walked into his office, his friendly, warm and personable manner shone through and I immediately felt at ease. I recently had a failed hearing implant surgery through the NHS (leading to it being removed 2 months after it was implanted) and have been struggling since then. Joe's websites say he has a special interest in single-sided deafness and this absolutely shone through. He was so, so knowledgeable and talked me through everything and all my options in a huge amount of detail. I also have a retraction of the tympanic membrane in my only hearing ear and on the NHS, my surgeon was trying to push me into a surgery that I didn't want as it risked me losing my hearing and the surgeon didn't respect that at all. Joe completely understood and respected it, and worked with me to discuss options and figure out a plan of next steps, which we will be progressing over the coming months. Unlike a lot of consultants, I felt like Joe had an active discussion with and explained things in a lot of detail so that I felt like I was not only incredibly informed and had autonomy but that I knew the potential outcomes of each option.
