Explanation

I am compelled to share my extraordinary experience under the care of Mr. Natesh Basavaiah, ENT Surgeon at BMI Meridian, Coventry. My journey began with a concerning discovery of swelling in my neck lymph nodes, which led me to seek medical attention. Despite initial delays in the hospital's response, a fortunate recommendation from a friend, also a respected Consultant at the hospital, led me to Mr. Natesh. Upon contacting Mr. Natesh's office, the sense of urgency and compassion was palpable. Remarkably, I was scheduled for an appointment within 24 hours—a swift and crucial response given the gravity of my symptoms. During this initial consultation, Mr. Natesh's clinical acumen shone brightly as he provisionally diagnosed thyroid cancer with lymph node involvement. This diagnosis was swiftly confirmed through meticulous ultrasound scans and a lymph node biopsy, reaffirming Mr. Natesh's expertise. Without delay, Mr. Natesh proceeded to perform a total thyroidectomy and neck dissection, all within a month of my initial appointment. I am delighted to report that my recovery has been smooth and without complications. Notably, I have experienced no changes to my voice post-surgery—a testament to Mr. Natesh's surgical precision and dedication to preserving functional outcomes. The care I received from Mr. Natesh and his team was exemplary. From the initial consultation to the successful surgery and for every step was marked by professionalism, clear communication, and genuine concern for my well-being. I am keenly waiting to meet Mr Natesh at his follow-up clinic. I am deeply grateful to Mr. Natesh for his expertise, swift action, and the positive impact he has made on my health and quality of life. I have no hesitation in recommending Mr. Natesh Basavaiah to anyone seeking exceptional ENT care. Thank you, Mr. Natesh, for your outstanding service and unwavering commitment to your patients. Warmest regards, Ramakrishna R.

Mr Natesh has changed my life. I had an horrendous thyroid with retrosternal extensions plus oesophageal & tracheal restrictions of more than 50% - despite that he managed to remove it through a tiny incision. All my symptoms have gone: no more sleep apnoea, no more joint pain, no more choking on food, no more breathing difficulties, no more excessive tiredness, no more thyroid depression, and I have a chin & collar bones again!!!! Throughout everything Mr Natesh has been a marvel - an angel without wings.

Received microsuction for an ear infection in both ears. Mr Natesh was brilliant. I can highly recommend. So good to receive such good care after having great difficulty with my own GP. It was definitely worth the cost. Thank you.
