Mr Natesh has been amazing in his care regarding my enlarged thyroid, both before the procedure and post operation. His genuine calm and kind bedside manner is only superseded by his surgical skills which I do not pretend to understand but a major operation without a single moment of pain in the first week is truly a reflection of his skill as a surgeon. Add to this his kindness, looking at the patient as a whole and not just focussing on the medical side, reduced my stress levels immeasurably to the extent that I had no anxiety before the operation and his attention and aftercare has been simply outstanding.

ENT Surgeon Mr Natesh is absolutely fantastic!!! Honestly I cannot put into words how incredible he is at his job. He is a superb ent surgeon who has extensive knowledge in his area of ears nose and throat neck head etc. I am so glad I came across Mr Natesh he is the best no1 ent surgeon. From consultations to pre op to post op he answered all my questions and listened and was kind and patient throughout even when I asked a million questions as im an anxious person. I had fess endoscopic Sinus surgery and chose Mr Natesh because as soon as I had my consultation with him I trusted his expertise and knowledge and got a good feeling about him. I self funded and it was worth it to ensure I got Mr Natesh. I had my follow up and even before my op and after he still contacted me to answer questions that I continously had. He had no judgement and was understanding he whole time. Even when I was scared to do the sinus rinses he reassured me throughout. He explained things clearly so I understood any results and biopsy I got and he never rushed. He took his time and explained everything to me and answered everything I asked. Im so glad I chose to have surgery with Mr Natesh he made me feel reassured and confident. 5*+++ I highly recommend Mr Natesh and hes the only ENT surgeon I will visit if I ever need to again. Professional friendly understanding and kind you are in good hands.

After a botched operation 50 years ago, I required a septoplasty to assist my nasal breathing and sleeping issues. Dr Natesh operated and the situation was over quickly. Recovery was fast and my breathing is greatly improved and sleeping deeper. Very professional!

I visited Mr Natesh with breathing difficulties while sleeping and working out. He explained everything clearly and simply, even drawing illustrations of my nose. My septoplasty went very smoothly and healed perfectly, and the aftercare was very helpful. Mr Natesh made sure to do a full check, including my tonsils and I felt assured that the whole picture is being considered. My breathing has massively improved since the procedure.

Mr Natesh is a talented, professional and compassionate surgeon. I am extremely grateful for the care taken before, during and after my Complete Thyroidectomy. I would without hesitation highly recommend Mr Natesh. My thyroid was huge, creating a complicated surgery which Mr Natesh handled expertly.
