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.

Head & neck health

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.

I saw Mr Jolly for my nasal problem which was misdiagnosed by 2 previous consultants. Mr Jolly was very professional and informative throughout the consultation. He was very knowledgeable and his experience shows. I would highly recommend Mr Jolly for any nose and sinus problem. Thank you

Patient of Karan Jolly

A truly amazing experience. A very skilful surgeon who carried out my procedure. Amazing explanation and amazing instructed aftercare. Made what was a worrying procedure a much more comfortable experience. Thankyou

Patient of Karan Jolly

Dr Darr is the most straight talking dr we have ever met told us exactly what he was doing to do our son. His care and attention has been amazing. The operation well really well. Today we went for our after care appointment to have stents removed Dr Darr was very gentle we had no idea how long they were. He went on to reassure us of the healing process and was very kind and gentle with our son who is 16 and austic. He explained to all of us what he did and how long the healing would take. We are due back in 3 months. Dr Darr's booking assistant is an amazing man called Pete i was very worried about this operation and he was so lovely explained how he knew Dr Darr and reassured me what a talented surgeon he was. Pete called me while away on holiday booked the appointment for February 2 days later called again to say a cancellation had come up for Jan 6th that was 1 day after our holiday i was hesitant but again Pete reassured me of the care and consideration they would show my Son. I know the Nhs has a bad reputation but the team around him was amazing from Pete who booked the appointment Oliver the anesthesiologist a junior surgeon who i forget her name to Sharon the nurse who gave us the best after care. Thank you to this lovely amazing team.
