Welcome
I am considered by my peers in the UK and overseas as leading surgeon and researcher in disorders of the ear, hearing, balance, facial nerve and skullbase. I see patients from all over the UK as well internationally. Therefore many of my NHS and private patients are tertiary referrals, having been referred to me for my opinion or management by other ENT and allied specialties colleagues.
On this basis I have gained extensive experience in otology, lateral skullbase surgery and implantation otology including:
- Over 2000 complex ear surgeries
- Over 400 cochlear implant surgeries
- Over 500 vestibular schwannoma (acoustic neuroma) and other skullbase surgeries
- 24 auditory brainstem implant surgeries (adults and children)

Hearing loss – including loss requiring cochlear implantation or middle ear implants
Dizziness
Tinnitus
Vestibular schwannoma – (acoustic neuroma)
Glomus tumour
Cholesteatoma
Otosclerosis
