My daughter had grommet for insertion and adenoid removal. Dr. Alison was amazing, she is kind, caring and very professional. The procedure went seamlessly. My daughter’s hearing is now 100% normal and she experienced no complications or side effects. I am so thankful to Dr. Alison and her team.

Our experience with Dr. Carter was fantastic and, quite frankly, life-changing for our 1 year old. We felt listened to and in safe hands from the outset and the operation that Dr. Carter performed means that our daughter no longer suffers with sleep apnoea, can breathe easily and she is absolutely thriving. Thank you!!

We had a wonderful experience with Dr. Carta. She was kind, patient, and took the time to explain everything clearly, making us feel comfortable and well informed throughout the visit. She was excellent with my child and created a calm, reassuring environment. We never felt rushed, and all of our questions were answered thoughtfully. I'm very grateful for the high level of care and would highly recommend Dr. Carta to any family looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate pediatric ENT specialist.

We saw Miss Carter alongside Margaret from the infant feeding team this week regarding my newborn son's tongue tie. Ms Carter has an exceptional bedside manner and immediately made us feel at ease and listened to. She was extremely thorough in her assessment, and allowed us time to weigh up the pros and cons of the frenectomy procedure to make an informed decision. We went ahead with the tongue tie release procedure and were given so much support with breastfeeding and latch- we noticed an instant improvement in feeding which is no longer painful for me, and is now effective for my baby. I cannot thank Miss Carter enough for the impact she has made!

We booked a consultation with Dr Carter as we wanted a second opinion on our daughters ENT issues. Dr Carter was extremely helpful & informative, we were given some great advice and now have a better understanding of our daughters conditions & where to go from here. We would highly recommend her.

What an amazing consultant. She didn’t rush us and gave us her complete time she went above and beyond discussing my concerns but looking at my child’s overall health. I couldn’t thank her enough.

Alison is a wonderful clinician, incredibly kind, patient and caring and always has time for everyone. Her patient care is exceptional. She has been a mentor and fantastic colleague throughout my own training and I couldn't recommend her more highly. She kindly arranged to see my own son when he had stridor (breathing problems) as a newborn and I would take my own children to see her again in an instant.
