About

Dr Michael Timms is a world-renowned consultant ENT and cochlear implant surgeon. He specialises in all adults and children's ENT problems, seeing patients for nasal and sinus surgery, ear surgery as well as laryngeal microsurgery.

Dr Timms is highly experienced in endoscopic sinus surgery, including procedures for complicated cases such as CSF leaks, angiofibroma as well as intranasal and sinus tumors. As an early adopter of the surgery, it is one that he has carried out over 6000 times. He has also performed over 500 endoscopic DCR surgeries for epiphora (the excess watering of the eye).

Dr Timms also specialises in ear surgery including cochlear implants, implantable devices and stapedotomy for otosclerosis. He works with patients on the correction of protruding ears. And, he sees patients for corrective rhinoplasty, snoring and sleep apnea, the removal of tonsils and adenoids as well as vocal cord lesions.

A true innovator in his field, Dr Timms developed the Coblation Tonsillectomy technique, which is used in ENT surgeries for the following:

  • Tonsils and adenoids
  • Snoring
  • Nasal and sinus tumours
  • Laryngeal tumours, papillomas and airway stenosis

Dr Timms' techniques now make procedures quicker and less painful for patients, allowing for a quicker recovery. He has given presentations and conducted live demonstrations on Coblation Tonsillectomy across the world and has published several papers on the technique within many internationally recognised journals.

Explanation

Professor Michael Timms was extremely professional and knowledgeable when discussing my concerns of sleep apnea and snoring. He completed routine checks on my tongue, uvula and nose. Based on this he was able to request a CT scan of my sinuses and then scheduled me in for surgery. I felt very comfortable and confident in his presence and positive at the time of surgery. He greeted me and made me feel at ease at all times and talked me through each step of the process whilst eliminating any concerns I had. He shared a statement with me that will remain in my memory always and encourage me to share his name with friends and family who require similar recommendations. “I guarantee you after surgery you won’t feel a thing and you’ll be back on your feet in no time” true to his word I resumed work after 48hrs as a teacher.

Explanation

A month ago I underwent a minor procedure which called Septoplasty. At first I was scared and hesitant, but after consulting three ENT doctors, I found Professor Michael to be the best one due to his long experience, and the method he uses. My recovery journey was quick, and without much pain and the result is more than wonderful I am completely satisfied. My breathing became much better. No snoring no congested nose even my voice has change before everyone always thought i had a cold. I couldn't believe it, and until now I can't believe that I started breathing from my nose and not from my mouth. After the surgery the patient shouldn’t try to blow his nose only gently, wipe away any blood coming down and change the plaster and gauze in addition to follow the doctor’s instructions. now i feel like a different person, more comfortable and self-confident after suffering years with anti-allergy medications, sprays and cortisone needles. All thanks and appreciation to Professor Michael Timms no matter how much I thank him it will not be enough.Certainly I advise everyone who suffers from chronic allergies and a blocked nose not to hesitate for a second to do the operation. Inedeed i didn't know no one of the formers ENT i was following up told me there’s a permanent cure or another option rather than medication and nasal sprays. For the symptoms I was suffering until I met, and luckily after googling for a new ENT specialist was looking for someone I've never met before because I reached a stage where I gave up on my situation really i was fed up. Until mama her instinct in fact i took her advice moreover her encouragement to consult a new ENT. Because she really lived since i was a kid she was noticing my constant suffering.

Dr. Michael Tims did an amazing job on my nasal polyp and turbinate. I am first dubious since I will be undergoing surgery, something I have always feared, and I will be sedated. Yet, Dr. Michael Tims executed the entire procedure flawlessly, and the outcome was superb. As a result, I am happy to breathe and smell normally again. Those with nose problems like mine should definitely consider this. I heartily recommend 👍👏👏👏 Thank you so much Dr. Michael Tims!
