I had a fantastic appointment with Mr Kara. I was listened to, and everything I needed to know was clearly explained to me. Mr Kara took a holistic approach to my care, factoring in my existing health conditions and taking time to understand how this would impact my ENT treatment. I felt in safe hands and would highly recommend him.
Many thanks for your positive feedback! :-)

I received excellent care from Mr Kara, from the initial consultation right through to the surgery and aftercare. I had suffered with nasal polyps for a number of years and had been unable to breathe, smell or taste properly. Mr Kara conducted a number of investigations and recommended surgery which I happily agreed to. The standard of care was impeccable, I was fully informed of the risks and possible complications, upon arrival Mr Kara went through the procedure with me and introduced the anaesthesiologist and between them they answered all of my questions. The aftercare was excellent, Mr Kara explained the recovery period and ensured I was comfortable throughout. The follow up consultation was prompt and thorough. I can now breathe, taste and smell properly which exceeds my initial expectations of the procedure. I can’t recommend Mr Kara highly enough.
Many thanks for your detailed and very complimentary review. I am very pleased to hear you had a good outcome and such a positive experience. All the best... :-)

I have known Mr. Kara since 2008. We worked as colleagues and we have interacted at numerous occasions in clinics, theatres at registrar level and as Consultant colleagues too. He initiated the coblation technique for tonsillectomies and audited his results diligently. He has always believed in evidence based practice and has a wonderful manor with his patients. He specialises in Rhinology and I would not hesitate in getting operated by him as I feel he would be the safest pair of hands for me if I were to need surgical intervention myself. I would highly recommend him for sinus surgery, tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, grommets and anything that he offers he does. He audits his practice regularly and was the clinical governance lead at the CDDFT ENT department. He is constantly developing and always has in store something new in the innovative mind!

Mr Kara is one of the leading rhinologists in the country, just look at his publications and the various Professors he is rubbing shoulders with. Truly world class and an amazing asset to Darlington. Incredibly conscientious and works so hard for his patients. Definitely the person I would go and see if my family or I had a rhinology issue. Fantastic surgeon.
