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.
