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.

I had a consultation with Mr Darr & Mr Stockton (Oct 2024). Mr Darr explained the procedure and expected wait time of approximately 12 months. I had my surgery 09/12/25 as a day case and a follow up 10 days post op. Splints removed and further 12 week follow up discussed. Thank you for your specialist care and explanation of my case. Very grateful and thankful to all involved.

Exceptional Care and Expertise: A Review for Dr. Adnan Darr I recently consulted with Dr. Adnan Darr regarding a suspected sinus issue, and the experience was truly outstanding. Dr. Darr is ultra-professional, incredibly friendly, and polite. From the moment the consultation began, I felt completely at ease and well-cared for. His initial diagnosis was spot on, demonstrating his deep expertise immediately. He asked all the right questions, ensuring a thorough understanding of my symptoms, and advised me clearly on the best course of action. What truly set Dr. Darr apart was his exceptional level of attention to detail and care. His knowledge in his specialism is, by far, the best I have come across. He even accurately diagnosed an issue with my septum that I was completely unaware of. This comprehensive approach highlights how well Dr. Darr knows his field. I left the consultation feeling very comfortable, cared for, and confident in the path forward. I am incredibly glad I had the opportunity to consult with Dr. Darr. Highly, highly recommended for anyone needing ENT care.
