Very professional, with a great manner. A happy experience and thank you to Mr Natesh and his lovely nurse for their help and understanding.
I came to me Natesh for a cyst on my lip he was able to perform my surgery on the day him and his team did a brilliant job of making me feel comfortable and confident for my surgery could not recommend enough thankyou dr natesh !
From the initial consultation, through the surgery, and the follow-up after care, Mr Natesh's support and care was excellent.
Mr Natesh is an amazing surgeon, very professional and answered all of the preop and postoperative questions I had with clear instructions on how to manage my symptoms well. I would definitely recommend him for ENT issues.
I had to have my second balloon dilation for subglottal stenosis. This took around 2 years to diagnose with my GP thinking I had asthma, allergies, post nasal drip etc. Nothing worked, inhalers etc were useless. All the time my breathing was getting noisier and I was finding it harder to breathe. Eventually I got another GP to refer me for further investigations and Subglottal Stenosis was diagnosed. I had my first dilation in January 2025. Unfortunately these will need to be repeated but I know I am in good hands with Mr Natesh. It is very rare, so much so it doesn’t come up as one of the options as to what I was actually treated for.
Mr Natesh has been fantastic throughout. I found a lump over a year ago, but then became pregnant, and throughout that time he stayed in touch and was always quick to respond to any concerns I had. He is a really kind and approachable man with a positive and reassuring manner that immediately put me at ease. His professionalism and support made a stressful situation much easier to deal with.

Not sure, felt that I was being rushed and appointment was delayed. I waited 20 minutes after my appointment time
Mr Natesh is an incredible professional, from start to finish he provided a friendly, diligent service which involved consultations, medicinal treatment and septo & turbinoplasty procedures. I have felt very confident in his judgement and competences. It’s a pleasure and privilege to be under the care of a practitioner with the highest quality of care and service
