Dr Kotecha is an incredibly knowledgeable and talented gentleman. I came to him with the hopes of improving my nasal airflow and not only has he guided me through various different treatments until we achieved the desired outcome, he has also given me much additional advice relating to snoring. I can say without hesitation that Dr Kotecha goes above and beyond in his professionalism.

Professor Kotecha was amazing, really professional and helpful throughout the entire journey. Starting with clear explanations of the procedure, what to expect for recovery and how to speed up healing and minimise pain as much as possible. He was really flexible with getting me booked in straight away, and the surgery went really smoothly. With only minimal pain afterwards, which I managed with Paracetamol and Ibuprofen. His post-op advice was great, clearly explaining and answering any questions I had. He has chosen a really great support team that helped in the surgery and recovery. I couldn't recommend him enough for how easy and smooth the process was, and how much the surgery has already improved my sleep apnea just a couple of weeks afterwards.

Professor Kotecha was extremely professional and thorough and gave great care to my son. He was patient and friendly and we felt in very good hands at all times. My son now has much improved hearing and his ear pain has gone, hopefully for good. I couldn't recommend Professor Kotecha enough and I am really grateful for his help.

I consider myself very lucky to have been referred to Professor Bhik Kotecha. Words cannot describe the quality of life improvement I've had after my surgery performed by Bhik. He is both highly knowledgable and a true gentleman. Extremely pleased with my consultations with him and for the chance to listen to someone so learned. 10/10 experience.

We can’t thank Professor Kotecha enough for the care and patience shown to our son. Our little boy has autism and finds medical appointments quite stressful, but Professor Kotecha was incredibly kind, understanding, and gentle throughout. He immediately recognised what was wrong and clearly explained everything to us. Our son had fluid drained from his ears and grommets fitted — the whole process was smooth and compassionate from start to finish. The difference in his hearing has been amazing, far beyond what we expected. We’re so grateful for Professor Kotecha’s expertise and empathy.
