Head and neck health covers a wide territory – your ears, nose, throat, and endocrine glands (thyroid & parathyroid). Symptoms like lumps, voice changes, swallowing difficulty, or unexplained pain deserve early attention. Our specialists offer consultant-led evaluation and tailored management, helping you move from symptoms to clarity, and treatment if needed.

Common head & neck conditions

Head and neck conditions can affect everything – how you breath and swallow, your balance, and your hearing.

Sinusitis

Inflammation or infection of the sinuses causing congestion, pain and pressure – often linked to allergies or infections.

Tonsillitis & sore throat

Recurring tonsil infections can lead to pain, difficulty swallowing or sleep disturbances – sometimes tonsils require removal.

Hearing loss & ear infections

One of the most common ENT complaints, often caused by fluid, wax or an infection in the middle ear or ear canal.

Thyroid nodules

Lumps in the thyroid gland that are usually benign but sometimes need ultrasound or biopsy to exclude cancer.

Hyperparathyroidism

Overactive parathyroid glands raise calcium levels in the blood and can cause tiredness, bone or joint pain, low mood or kidney stones –  although some people have no symptoms and it is picked up on blood tests.

Voice & swallowing disorders

Issues with the vocal cords or throat that affect speaking, swallowing or breathing – often linked to inflammation, reflux, vocal strain, infection, nerve problems or, rarely, structural changes.


Head & Neck

When to see a head & neck specialist

If you notice a lump in the neck, persistent throat discomfort, swallowing difficulties, voice changes lasting longer than 3 weeks, unexplained ear pain, or breathing problems, it’s important to seek assessment. Early investigation helps identify the cause and ensures timely treatment.

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.
