I was referred to Mr Agrawal after finding out I had n advanced right ear cholesteatoma. Mr Agrawal recommended surgery to remove the Cholesteatoma and explained the process and filling me with confidence in his ability. The day of the surgery went like a swiss watch and the whole team were so friendly and welcoming. The surgery was a success and during my recent outpatient visit it was found that the surgery had even improved my hearing on the the right ear. I would 100% recommend Mr Agrawal for your ENT needs and thank him for his kindness and professionalism.

I saw Dr Agrawal as I had a large infected cyst on my neck, he was very patient and was able to drain the cyst on my first visit providing immediate relief. I have been seeing him regularly to monitor the cyst with the hope of removal once it has returned to its pre infections size. He has provided all possible options and outcomes very clearly and concisely.

I came due to having BPPV, which Mr. Shailesh confirmed I had. He examined me and all through the process explained exactly what was going to happen and why he was doing this. He did the Epley Manoeuvre which I have had twice at my GP but this session was very intense but I felt safe and trusted Mr. Shailesh completely. I feel very relieved today and I haven't felt like this for months. It was lovely to hear from someone who knew exactly what I have been going through. There will be no hesitation in booking again to see Mr. Shailesh in the future. Thankyou for seeing me today.

I went to see Mr Agrawal following a few episodes of BPPV and not feeling 100% following the vertigo. Mr Agrawal was very attentive, thorough and reassuring.
