About Mr Wale Olarinde

Mr Wale Olarinde is a Consultant ENT, Head & Neck Surgeon with more than three decades of medical experience. He qualified in Medicine from the University of Ibadan in 1991 and subsequently completed specialist training in otolaryngology and head and neck surgery in the UK. He holds Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons in Otorhinolaryngology and Otology and has practised in this field since 1996.

His clinical practice covers general adult and paediatric ENT, with particular interests in head and neck surgery, including benign and malignant disease, thyroid and parathyroid surgery, salivary gland disorders, and laryngeal and voice conditions.

He received further sub-specialist training in head and neck cancer surgery at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield and undertook additional training in laser resection of head and neck cancers with Professor Petra Ambrosch in Kiel, Germany.

His approach to patient care centres on thorough specialist assessment and clear, straightforward management options, with patients actively involved in treatment decisions. Alongside his clinical practice, he contributes to medical education as an honorary senior clinical lecturer and examiner at the University of Sheffield medical school. He is also an examiner for the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

Mr has been very helpful with my voice and larynx problems. When dissatisfied with my initial laryngoscopy he pulled out all the stops to repeat the test again before my imminent holiday. Doing so gave a clearer picture of my problem and meant I avoided a full anaesthetic and biopsy I find his explanation of diagnosis and treatment excellent

I recently attended an ENT appointment with my child, who had been pulling at their ears, banging their head and appearing increasingly unsettled. An audiology assessment showed flat tympanograms, suggesting likely glue ear. We were initially advised to watch and wait, but as my child became very unsettled, we returned sooner for a review. The tympanograms remained flat, so we were referred to another doctor to discuss the possibility of grommet insertion. The doctor was very efficient, friendly and easy to talk to. They took the time to answer all of my questions and address my worries, which made me feel reassured and well supported throughout the appointment.
