Excellent consultation immediately relaxing me. Thorough check up and explained everything in terms that I could understand and not using medical terms so fully recommend.

Prof Branley was friendly and approachable throughout. He undertook a thorough consultation gathering information for 20 minutes plus before considering any agreeing the way forward - further diagnostics prior to considering a plan for the way forward. Exactly what I wanted and needed.

Professor Howard Branley is has an excellent high level of patient care. He puts the patient at ease, he listenned to my symptoms with no rush, he was very understanding to my difficulty breathing, my pain, , my weezing,examined me with detail, explained to me his plan of action and exams to perform yo find out what is wrong and why i am feeling this way,and prescribed me the correct medication for the time being. I feel very safe and comfortable with his professional expertise and he is still investigating with me further more, so he won't miss anything or leave any doubts. I felt that even though there's nothing to worry about it for now, Professor Howard Branley didn't dismiss my symptoms and he wants to reassure me, that when i leave his consulting room next time as a follow up appointment, i won't be feeling any doubts about the health of my lungs. Another thing i like about Professor Howard Branley, he is a very warm person and has an amazing bedside manner with his patients. He talks to you calmly and leaves you not to worry at all about whatever is going on with your health. Excellent specialist and it was an excellent choice from my GP Pixie Mc Kenna. I do recommend this specialist to anyone who have a respiratory health problem. I am very grateful to Professor Howard Branley for his care towards me.🙏👍👏

Professor Branley provided clear and considerate consultation. As expected, his write-up was punctual and unambiguous. His outer office is efficient and from arrival to exit I felt comfortable and at ease. I heartily recommend the services provided by Prof Howard and his team.
