Professor Vik Veer is professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. He makes complex conditions clear, provides explanations, and finds effective treatment pathways. Procedures like septoplasty and tonsillectomy improve breathing and sleep. His practice treats obstructive sleep apnoea and snoring problems.
Really helpful and informative, explained my options (I hadn't realised I had any!) and put together a plan to get me understanding my OSA and what can be done to help me going forward . Booking was easy and the follow up notes, advice and information was received quickly. Many thanks Mr Veer, I now have a plan and am less worried!
I recently have had tongue coblation surgery with Dr Veer, this is due to tongue based sleep apnea whereby the main culprit for my airway collapsing is the tongue. This can be a little more complicated then usual when the tongue is involved and no one else could help me until I met Dr Veer. He's such a kind man and very easy to talk to. He has a wonderful sense of humour aswell which helps keep things light when navigating the world of sleep apnea. He helped me to build my knowledge quickly and understand exactly what the issue is. It's been 2 weeks since my operation and believe it or not, I actually feel great. It should take a little longer for the swelling to go down and feel the effects but I'm actually waking up feeling refreshed and relaxed, a feeling I have not experienced for a long time. Massive appreciation to Dr Veer for his abilities and kind persona and I feel like my life is going to get better from this point onwards. If I ever need help in the future, he would be the first and only person I would want to work with.
Prof. Vik Veer is an outstanding ENT surgeon with exceptional expertise in sleep-related breathing disorders. From the very first consultation, he was friendly, empathetic, supportive and extremely clear in his explanations. I immediately felt listened to and understood, which is rare when dealing with complex sleep and airway problems. I trust him completely. In my opinion, his knowledge, experience and competence in this specific field are truly exceptional and very difficult to match in the UK. My most recent experience with him was a DISE — drug-induced sleep endoscopy — to identify exactly where my airway obstruction occurs and to plan the next stage of treatment. After four years of being unable to sleep normally in a bed, this has been an extremely important step for me in trying to return to a normal life. What also makes Prof. Veer unique is the way he shares his deep knowledge of such a vast and complex subject. He explains things with clarity, honesty and genuine passion. This is exactly how a specialist consultant should be in an ideal world. I would strongly recommend Prof. Vik Veer to anyone looking for the best possible assessment, treatment and solutions for sleep disorders and ENT-related airway issues.
Vik Veer exceeded my expectations in terms of patient care. Not only was the consultation very informative, Vik immediately made me feel at ease and answered any questions. Often going above and beyond to ensure I had a comprehensive understanding of the issues I was experiencing. An excellent medic and a true gentleman!
Professor Veer was amazing, I cannot recommend him enough! I have had a lifelong condition but he put me at ease and made me feel confident about my future. Thank you so much Sir!
I have had a few consultations with Prof Vik Veer in relation following my diagnosis with severe sleep apnoea by my local sleep clinic. The treatment provided by the clinic – CPAP machine – made things worse, not better. After a few months of this I explored options and came across Professor Veer’s helpful videos and so organised to consult with him. Professor Veer radically changed my understanding of my condition and gave me a much better way forward. He questioned the original interpretation of the sleep study, recommended a different therapy – positional sleeping – and carried organised a follow up test, following the implementation of the new therapy. The outcome – I now no longer suffer from ‘severe sleep apnoea’ – a simple change in my sleep position took my pAHI score from 43 to 2.6 – well below the ‘treatment required threshold’. The potential for this outcome was evident when looking more deeply into the original sleep study results – even I had spotted a ‘strange’ aspect of the results. Professor Veer quickly found the way forward, a much cheaper and less intrusive way forward without ‘side-effects’. So, a great outcome. Professor Veer was really easy to communicate with, he listened, took note of my concerns without any evidence of ‘the patient knows nothing’ attitude so common amongst health professionals – a breath of fresh air. I highly recommend Professor Veer – I had to self-finance as neither my doctor nor the Sleep Clinic would support an NHS ENT referral – ‘we have solved your problem, just use the CPAP’. It was money well spent.
Excellent first meeting - Professional and pleasant diagnostic and identified path way forward. So far, so great. I expect to be recommending him.
The entire service provided by Professor Veer and his team, from the initial consultation to the surgery and follow-up was excellent and very well organized. I am delighted with the results of my surgery. I haven't been able to breath this well for a long time. I wish I had done this much sooner.
Professor Vik Veer did his job well, friendly, funny and professional. He made my visit feel comfortable.
All I can say is that Vik was absolutely exceptional both professionally and personally. All I can say is thank you.
Mr Veer is a well respected ENT surgeon with national reputation in OSA surgery with a wealth of knowledge and a reputation for providing great service to his patients

Respiratory DoctorVik is a fantastic ENT surgeon and now a Youtube celebrity as well! I actually ended up taking my wife to see him for a nasal problem and I can see that his bedside manner and explanations are not just for online videos, but how he practices in reality. He was very clear, concise and considered. Now I understand why so many people endorse his skills!

An Alternative Treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Many people find it challenging to use CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure - a mask that is used to pump air into the lungs during sleep) or Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs - which are gum shields which are designed to pull your lower jaw forward to help you breathe behind your tongue) for treating obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Studies show that CPAP compliance rates can be as low as 50-60%, with many patients discontinuing use due to discomfort, inconvenience, or difficulty adjusting to the device. Similarly, while MADs are generally better tolerated, they still present issues such as jaw pain (temporomandibular joint dysfunction), dry mouth, tooth loosening. This might be too much for some patients to bear long term. Untreated sleep apnoea can lead to a host of serious health problems. It is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, including high blood pressure, heart attacks, and strokes. Additionally, OSA can exacerbate metabolic conditions like type 2 diabetes and contribute to weight gain. The constant interruptions in breathing during sleep result in fragmented sleep, leading to excessive daytime sleepiness, impaired cognitive function, and a higher risk of accidents. Furthermore, untreated sleep apnoea can negatively impact mental health, causing mood swings, depression, and anxiety. Given these challenges and risks, hypoglossal nerve implants, such as the Inspire Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulator and the Nyxoah Genio System, offer a promising alternative. These fully implantable devices provide a more comfortable and less intrusive solution by directly stimulating the hypoglossal nerve to keep the airway open during sleep. By addressing this particular root cause of airway obstruction, these devices can significantly improve sleep quality and overall health, making them a viable option for those who struggle with traditional therapies.
