Miss Alison Carter offers kind, thorough, and professional care, making patients feel listened to and at ease. She provides clear explanations for procedures, including grommet insertion, frenectomy, and adenoid removal. Patients often highlight her knowledgeable approach and expertise for addressing various paediatric ENT issues, especially recurrent ear infections.
Alison is exceptional and we would highly recommend her for a holistic tongue tie assessment. We were warned that many doctors will simply perform the procedure without full assessment of the feeding ability. Alison does the opposite - it was a detailed and thorough appointment looking at everything before determining best course of action. For us, that meant no action was taken. Having Abbie join for the lactation consultancy was an added bonus. Abbie was amazing and so knowledgeable and able to advise on latching and positioning in the room. Thank you so much for everything, Alison. We so appreciate your care.
Its been really clear explanation from consultant.

Thank you - I am so glad that you felt the explanation was really clear and hopefully now feel fully informed in your decision making.
Dr Alison Carter is a lovely, friendly and very knowledgeable doctor. She was extremely professional and made our visit with my 15 year old son for an ENT appointment comfortable and reassuring. I would highly recommend her.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. I’m so pleased that both you and your son felt comfortable and reassured during the appointment, and I hope that he is feeling better soon.
Dr. Allison was absolutely lovely and made us feel very comfortable throughout the appointment. We saw her regarding our baby’s tongue tie, and she took the time to explain all of the available options clearly, including what we could consider doing next. She was very knowledgeable, helpful, and thorough in answering our questions. A breastfeeding consultant also joined the appointment, which was really helpful as we were able to hear her perspective and get additional advice from a breastfeeding point of view. Overall, we had a very positive experience with Dr. Allison and really appreciated how clearly she explained everything and how supportive she was throughout the appointment. Highly recommended.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and recommendation. I’m pleased that you felt comfortable, fully informed and supported whilst considering the options for your baby. Having the infant feeding team involved allows us to consider the whole feeding picture, so I’m delighted that you found their input helpful too.
Alison was fantastic with our son, she kept him at ease the whole appointment and gave a very clear and easy to follow treatment plan

Thank you for your kind feedback. I’m so pleased that your son felt comfortable throughout the appointment and that you left with a clear and manageable plan. It was lovely to meet you both.
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.

Thank you for this lovely review. I’m delighted that everything went smoothly and that your daughter is doing so well and can hear! I will be sure to pass your kind words on to the rest of the 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!!

Thank you so much for sharing this! I was thrilled to hear how well your daughter was doing and what a difference her treatment has made.
I found Ms. Carter very knowledgeable, professional, and patient. Her approach helped me prepare for the process which made it all easier. Highly recommended

Thank you for your kind words. I’m very pleased that you found the appointment thorough and helpful.
Very good - Dr Carter wanted to hear all my view points and concerns prior to jumping in to review test results and look at my son. Felt like a really thorough appt and I’m grateful.

Thank you for such for your kind words. I'm so glad that you felt listened to and well informed.
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.

This is really lovely to read, thank you so much! I'm so glad that you feel it went well and that all your questions were answered.
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.
