Clear answers and expert care for head and neck concerns.

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.

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.

Here's what our patients say...

Visited about my voice and received excellent advice and reassurance

Patient of Anita Sonsale

Everything was clearly explained

Patient of Anita Sonsale

Dr 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 Darr

Very amicable - easy explaining things to my daughter and quick - no issues with the operation

Patient of Karan Jolly

This 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 Jolly

We 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.
