Specialist care for your ears, nose and throat
Your ears, nose, and throat work together to support vital functions like breathing, hearing, swallowing, and speech. When something feels off – a blocked nose, ringing in your ears, recurring sore throats, or dizziness – it can affect everything from sleep to confidence.
Common ENT conditions we treat
Our ENT specialists manage everything from minor infections to complex structural or functional problems. Here are some of the most common reasons patients come to see us.
Sinusitis
Inflammation of the sinuses causing congestion, facial pain and pressure and difficulty breathing through the nose.
Tonsil removal
Surgery to remove the tonsils can help if you suffer from repeated tonsillitis or if enlarged tonsils affect your breathing or sleep.
Ear drum repair
Repairing a perforated eardrum (myringoplasty/tympanoplasty) can improve hearing, cut the risk of repeated ear infections, stop discharge and make swimming/showering safer.
Deviated septum
Straightening the wall between your nostrils when it’s crooked or off-centre. A deviated septum can make it hard to breathe or cause a blocked nose.
Nasal polyp removal
Nasal polyps are soft growths caused by long-term inflammation and can lead to blocked breathing, reduced sense of smell and recurrent sinus infections.
Sleep apnoea treatment
A common but serious condition that causes your breathing to repeatedly stop and start whilst you’re asleep – causing excessive fatigue during waking hours.
When to see an ENT specialist
If you have persistent ear, nose, or throat symptoms – like hearing loss, nasal blockage, dizziness, or recurrent infections – it’s worth booking a consultation with a specialist. Early investigation can restore comfort and prevent complications, so you can get life back on track.

Here's what our patients say...
Visited about my voice and received excellent advice and reassurance
— Patient of Anita SonsaleEverything was clearly explained
— Patient of Anita SonsaleDr Darr was amazing from start to finish. My son had a very bad nasal deformity which Dr Darr fixed beyond all expectations. My son can now breathe fully through both sides of his nose, which is life changing
— Patient of Adnan DarrVery amicable - easy explaining things to my daughter and quick - no issues with the operation
— Patient of Karan JollyThis was most probably the best appointment I have ever had with any medical professional. He was extremely helpful and clear, with genuine empathy.
— Patient of Karan JollyWe wanted to express our heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional care Dr Darr provided to our daughter during her treatment for orbital cellulitis. Dr Darr's decision to perform the complex sinus drainage surgery the way he did, despite it being more complicated, showed great skill and consideration for her long-term health. His ability to explain everything clearly, both before and after the surgery, put both our daughter and us at ease. Dr Darr's bedside manner was outstanding - he took the time to reassure us, answer all our questions, and explain the procedure in a way our teenager could understand. We particularly appreciated him coming out to update us after surgery and the thorough post-op appointment where he went through everything in detail. Dr Darr's professionalism, expertise, and kindness throughout have made a really tough time easier for us. Thank you for using your skills to make the best decision for our daughter's health.
