I have been suffering with breathing issues affecting my chest and sleep, particularly when the coughing is needed to enable clearer breathing. I had tried several different treatments targeting asthma, allergy and chest infections, with varying success. The symptoms persisted and I finally managed to find Professor Howard Branley and he has been excellent: a) politely listening to my experiences and treatments which made me feel at ease b) arranging testing to make sure my lung function was adequate c) carefully explaining my condition and options d) adjusting/recommending medicines e) clear communication with my GP f) recommending an ENT referral for upper respiratory symptoms that remain I have complete confidence in Professor Branley's abilities and care, I will be continuing to recommend family and friends to him and I would be very happy to see Professor Branley again, as required.
