Mr Hannan is an expert ENT physician and surgeon. He qualified from King's College London, where he received the Negus-Cawthorne Prize in Otorhinolaryngology and the national undergraduate prize of the British Association of Otorhinolaryngologists. He then went on to officially pursue postgraduate training in Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery. In 2009, after completing his higher surgical training, Mr Hannan was appointed to the consultant staff at the prestigious Royal National Throat, Nose & Ear Hospital, considered as an international centre of excellence for its treatment of all ENT conditions. He now provides a full elective and emergency ENT service for both adults and children, and specialises in fields of Rhinology and Facial Plastic Surgery. With his NHS base firmly established in North Central and North West London, Mr Hannan seeks to replicate his first class ENT service for patients in the private sector.
By many of his patients and colleagues, Mr Hannan is considered to be a modern and progressive consultant. He regularly receives excellent feedback on his exceptional listening skills and refined technical ability, and his services come highly recommended.

I went through some tinnitus that was nerve racking and very concerning. Dr Alam Hannan put me at ease and very much pointed me in the right direction. The advice was "sound" and can now confidently say I feel normal again. 100% recommend!

Excellent doctor - from my experience I can assure any future patients that they'll be in very good hands.

I'd highly recommend Mr Hannan for his ENT expertise. I felt very reassured from my initial telephone consultation through to my in-person consultation. Mr Hannan explained complex medical concepts in simple plain English and was always happy to answer questions. I'd definitely return to see him for any future ENT issues.

I cannot recommend Mr Hannan enough. Greeted with broad smile and a handshake. He listened to my issue and laid out a plan to sort it. In the end I had a cautery done on a blood vessel. Mr Hannan talked me through the procedure, answered questions and carried out the procedure with the utmost care and precision. He explained the aftercare to me and asked if there was anything else. Mr Hannan was extremely professional, polite, and reassuring and I owe him many thanks.

I'd like to express my sincere appreciation for Dr. Hannan and the excellent care I received regarding my tinnitus. Our telephone appointment last week was incredibly helpful, and the follow-up in-person appointment today further solidified my positive impression. Dr. Hannan's thorough examination and the reassurances he provided were very comforting. His deep knowledge of tinnitus was evident and greatly appreciated. Overall, it was a truly great experience, and I feel much better informed and reassured about my condition. Thank you.

I saw Mr Hannan for some left ear discomfort. He took time to understand my history and any background that might relate to the issue. With follow up care he was very thorough, explained things in plain English and listened. I would definitely recommend him if you need an ENT

I had a recent appointment with Dr Hannan regarding a lump I was worried about, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was empathetic, kind, and listened to my concerns. He took the time to examine me thoroughly and explained his observations clearly. I left feeling heard, informed, and reassured. It’s rare to come across such genuine care, highly recommend!

Nobody likes to see a specialist about potential treatment, but I have to say that Mr Hannan’s advice and care have been absolutely first class. From the start, he made me feel relaxed and well-informed, taking the time to explain what are quite complex issues in a very simple and reassuring way. His calm, intelligent manner, and clear explanations gave me great confidence in understanding both the problem and the potential solutions. Although I’ve now been referred to a subspecialist for the next stage, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mr Hannan to anyone seeking up-to-date and compassionate care for any ENT issue — especially anything related to the ears. It’s rare to meet a consultant who combines such expertise with genuine warmth and clarity.

Very professional, to the point, and with lots of care!

From our initial phone consultation to an onward referral to a colleague who specialises in ear drum peroration repairs, I could not have been more impressed by Mr Hannan. At every stage of my care, I felt he was listening and triple checking to ensure he had all the relevant history regarding the issue. He carried out approriate testing immediately ahead of our face to face consultation in order to give me the clearest possible picture of my issue and the options for treatment. He thoughtfully and patiently answered all my questions and concerns throughout our consultations, and was extremely proactive as to next steps. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Hannan to my friends and family.
