Specialist nose, sinus and ENT care in Ashford

My principal clinical interest is rhinology: the assessment and treatment of problems affecting the nose and paranasal sinuses. My fellowship training included advanced endoscopic sinus surgery, frontal sinus surgery, functional and structural nasal surgery, and anterior skull base work.

I also treat a range of routine adult and paediatric ENT conditions and perform endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) for selected watery-eye patients, including selected children, jointly with my ophthalmology colleague Mr Mike Mota, who has subspecialist training in oculoplastic surgery. My approach emphasises careful diagnosis, clear explanation and a treatment plan tailored to each patient.
