★★★★★ ✓ Verified I was very happy with my experience. Professor Rimmer was prepared for my visit. She carefully listened to my concerns and was thorough in here examination. She explained the purpose and results of the tests and articulated her conclusions clearly. She presented me with an action plan which I implemented and I feel has resulted in improvement.s. Her feedback to my GP was excellent and I now feel that I am in a position to deal with him directly regarding my issues.

★★★★★ ✓ Verified Professor Joanne Rimmer is one of the all time greats. It was a first experience for me to go under with a frustrating sinus issue. The operation was a huge success and loving the return to breathing through my nose. Special call out to Michelle who is super organised and genuinely lovely. She made getting to theatre seamless. Alongside the whole team at the clinic, I had a wonderful experience and couldn’t recommend the whole team.

★★★★★ ✓ Verified Very satisified.
Seen for: Adult Ear, Nose & Throat Surgery -
★★☆☆☆ ✓ Verified I felt that my experience was a complete waste of time and money.
The reason for the consult was for dilation of the sinus canal due to unequalized pressure sensation in ears.
She disregarded this as a possible solution for ear pressure yet Overseas there is mention of this as a being quite successful.
There was no follow up, no direction, no remedy or effort to help with the problem of ear pressure.
This was my second opinion for this problem of ear pressure so in total it has costed me almost $750 in consulting fees for nothing in return.
Extremely disappointedSeen for: Adult Ear, Nose & Throat Surgery Rhinology -
★★★★☆ ✓ Verified Dr Rimmer was very professional and lovely, however couldn't really help so referred me on. I wish I was told prior to the appointment that Dr Rimmer wasn't an ear expert and I wouldn't have come. Perhaps a case of a poor referral from my GP.
