About Mr Samuel Jayaraj

Dr Samuel Jayaraj is a Consultant ENT Surgeon at Barts Health NHS Trust and Whipps Cross University Hospital.

He graduated in 1992 from the University of London and then trained in general surgery and ENT in London, Essex and Herts before he specialised at Charing Cross Hospital, The Royal National Throat, Nose and Ear Hospital (RNTNE) and Great Ormond Street Hospital.

In addition he has undertaken further subspecialty training abroad in Rhinology and Facial Plastic Surgery in Denmark, Switzerland and USA. He also pursued his interest in Otology by working at the House Ear Institute, Los Angeles.

In 2005 he was appointed as Consultant ENT Surgeon at Whipps Cross University Hospital, becoming the Paediatric ENT Lead Clinician in 2008 and the overall Clinical Lead in ENT in 2010. In 2012 he was appointed as the Clinical Director of ENT at Barts Health (one of the largest ENT departments in the country).

He has worked in ENT private practice since 2006 and in 2015 he was elected as Chairman of the Medical Advisory Committee at The Holly Private Hospital.

In 2020 he was invited to join One Welbeck ENT as a Founding Partner and ENT Surgeon, Rhinology Specialist.

His most recent research interests have been in loss of smell due to the Covid 19 pandemic and thus far this has produced 3 peer reviewed medical journal publications (he was a Principle Investigator in one of these studies). He was also one of the pioneers of balloon sinuplasty surgery in the UK and a co-author of the Cochrane Review in this surgical technique.

Sam's personal statement:

"Although I have been lauded for my management and training skills, my primary focus has and always will be on providing the highest level care possible to my patients. It is particularly gratifying for me to hear patients describing my consultations as being clear, compassionate and caring and I have immense satisfaction in seeing my patients recover so well after surgery."

He has become the ENT surgeon that local GP's trust to ask for advice and to take their own children to see.

Dr Jayaraj is a vastly experienced and reputable surgeon who is proficient in general ENT procedures in children and adults and is super specialised in nose and sinus surgery including rhinoplasty.

We had a very positive experience with Dr Samuel Jayaraj, who performed my daughter’s adenoid surgery. From our first consultation, Dr Jayaraj was kind, patient and reassuring. He explained the procedure clearly and took the time to answer all our questions, which made us feel much more comfortable about our daughter undergoing surgery at such a young age. The whole process was handled very professionally, and we felt that our daughter was in safe and caring hands throughout. Dr Jayaraj was especially reassuring with her, and his calm approach helped reduce our anxiety as parents. The surgery went well, and we were very happy with the care and attention she received before and after the procedure. We also appreciated how clearly everything was explained to us regarding her recovery and what to expect afterwards. We are very grateful to Dr Samuel Jayaraj and the entire team for taking such good care of our little one. We would definitely recommend Dr Jayaraj to other parents looking for a skilled, caring and trustworthy ENT surgeon for their child. Thank you, Dr Jayaraj, for your excellent care and for making what could have been a very stressful experience much easier for our family.

Mr. Jayaraj has a very pleasant, reassuring manner. He diagnosed the cause of my ear pain swiftly and recommended the appropriate course of action. As an aside, he also reviewed the results of a recent throid scan I’d had done, and explained them in detail to me, which was hugely reassuring. I recommend him without reservation as a competent and caring ENT consultant.

I recently attended a follow-up appointment with Dr Jayaraj, having previously been under his care, and once again received an exceptional standard of service. Dr Jayaraj combines a highly professional approach with a genuinely personal and patient-focused manner. He takes the time to listen, explain matters clearly and ensure that his advice and treatment are tailored to the individual. His calm and reassuring manner immediately puts you at ease, while his extensive knowledge and expertise in ENT are evident throughout the consultation. I have always felt completely confident in Dr Jayaraj’s assessment, advice and clinical judgement. The combination of specialist expertise, professionalism and excellent patient care makes him someone I would have no hesitation in recommending to others. Dr Jayaraj will undoubtedly remain my first choice for any future ENT care, and I am extremely grateful for the consistently high standard of care I have received.

Dr Jayaraj is one of the most humble and kind doctors I’ve ever come across, he is so knowledgeable and so attentive. He listened and showed extra care after I was being ignored by the NHS for months and solved all of the issues I was facing, he was ever so accommodating with arranging appointments and times to fit around and work best for my schedule.
