Throat

A constant sore throat should not be taken lightly. It may represent a serious and sinister problem that needs treating as soon as possible. If you have a constant sore throat book an appointment to have an expert pair of eyes diagnose and treat your problem. I will often use a special camera to have a detailed look at your throat and give you an expert diagnosis.

Running a tertiary voice clinic means I see a lot of voice complaints from both professional voice users and non professional voice users. Using a detailed camera examination I will be able to diagnose your voice problem and treat accordingly. This maybe through surgery, exercises or medication.

Thyroid lumps or a disturbance with your thyroid hormones are not uncommon. As the only recognised thyroid surgeon in my NHS job I see and operate on a lot of thyroid problems. If you have noticed a thyroid lump or suffer from hyperthyroidism for example Graves disease then get in contact to get it treated.

Snoring often has multiple causes and elements of it are easily treatable with surgery. If snoring is affecting yours or your partners sleep a detailed examination and an explanation of what surgery I can offer will be the first step for treatment.

Recurrent tonsillitis can be a debilitating and painful condition requiring time off school and work. A tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure that can cure the tonsillitis with just a short simple operation.

If your breathing is problematic you have a problem with your upper airways. I will be able to assess this in the clinic using my camera and offer you advice on how to treat this.

High calcium is often a result of a parathyroid lump and this is called primary hyperparathyroidism. This can make you feel very unwell. I am one of a few surgeons who carry out minimally invasive parathyroid surgery and operate on your parathyroid problem through a very small incision.

As a leading UK expert in swallow and voice I can usually get to the cause of your swallow problems and offer suitable treatment. This maybe medication or surgery. 

Neck lumps can be worrying and may be the first sign of something sinister. If you spot or feel a neck lump do not wait – get it assessed immediately by somebody like myself who deals with them on a daily basis. I’ll be able to tell you at your consultation if further tests are required and how we will treat your neck lump.

Swellings in your salivary glands maybe a simple fix to bigger surgery. They can cause problems and it is always best to get them assessed by an expert. I will take a detailed history, examination and often request a specialist test to treat your salivary problem.
