My recent diagnosis and care with Dr Harsha Kariyawasam was excellent from my initial consultation through to my operation and post care. The combination of Dr Harsha Kariyawasam and my surgeon Mr.Simon Gane at the London Nose & Sinus Clinic enabled my treatment to be carried out smoothly under one clinic. Importantly I was contacted by Dr Harsha Kariyawasam and Mr. Simon Gane throughout my treatment updating me and enquiring how I was. The London Nose & Sinus Clinic team provided a first class service and restored my sense of smell, taste and feeling 100% well. Thank you!

Great insight into my condition followed by successful and innovative treatment. Dr Kariyawasam is a pleasure to deal with and always takes time to explain every detail of the treatment plan and the drugs that will be used. There are no questions or concerns that he will not take the time to address.

He also made me feel very comfortable that I was in the right hands. Thank you so much for all the help and guidance.

Harsha is our inestimable medical rhinologist at UCLH, without whom us surgical rhinologists would be somewhat lost in cases of complex nose/sinus inflammation. Not only does Harsha help us manage such severe cases, but his advanced medical treatment ultimately betters patients more than nose/sinus surgery alone. I have lost count of the sheer numbers of patients that I've referred to Harsha, both in the NHS and privately, over the years!
