Dr. Beckles, has a professional yet compassionate bedside manner. He is extremely tall so when he has to give a patient difficult news , he sits next to the bed so that the patient feels more comfortable. Dr. Beckles also asked the patient do you understand and would you like me to explain it again? He would use terms and examples to make it point. Dr. Beckles can also be admired for his wealth of knowledge in different areas. As a respiratory specialist, he also has a network of doctors he can refer patients to for specialist treatment. He takes onto considered the cultural nuances which make some patients apprehensive. Dr. Beckles is a well rounded, specialist who treats every patient with care and gives them his undivided attention

I was very impressed with Dr Beckles he was approachable and professional. He referred me to a hospital closer to my home and under the care of another leading consultant but also stated that if I was not satisfied to contact him again. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dr Beckles to anyone having respiratory problems as I was.

Mike and I have worked alongside eachother at Royal Free Hospital and in private practice for many years, providing a united approach to conditions that traverse the upper and lower airway, particularly chronic cough. As such, Mike is naturally one of my go-to-guys for any ENT patient of mine that needs an expert respiratory opinion ... and he always delivers!
