We had a really positive experience with Professor Kotecha when our 4-year-old daughter had her tonsils and adenoids removed. From the very beginning, Professor Kotecha was lovely, professional and reassuring, and made us feel completely confident that our daughter was in good hands. The whole process was well organised and we were able to choose a date that worked for us. The procedure went very well, and the care we received at the hospital was excellent. The staff were caring, attentive and professional throughout, which made what could have been a stressful experience much easier for both our daughter and us. The aftercare was also brilliant, and we felt well supported throughout her recovery. We are very grateful to Professor Kotecha and the whole team for their care and would highly recommend them to any parent. All the snoring issues have resolved straight away and hopefully less illnesses this winter!

Mr Kotecha helped me by performing a septoplasty, he's very kind and professional, ensuring I felt comfortable and pain free every step of the way. It's clear to see he's got a passion for ENT and knows what he is doing. He made me feel at ease by explaining in detail the procedure and made sure to come speak with me pre and post operation. The procedure itself went flawless and recovery going well. Thank you professor Kotecha I highly recommend

I recently underwent a tonsillectomy along with radiofrequency thermotherapy to the uvula, tongue base, soft palate, and nasal turbinates under the care of Professor Bhik Kotecha, and my experience was defined by his professionalism, genuine care for patients, and strong sense of integrity. From the very beginning, Professor Kotecha demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism. His depth of subject knowledge was immediately clear. He was able to explain in detail what he believed my underlying issue was, why it was causing my symptoms, and the full range of possible solutions. What stood out was his ability to break down complex medical concepts into simple, understandable terms, ensuring I fully grasped my situation despite having limited prior knowledge. It was also clear that he is deeply passionate about his work—this came across naturally in the way he spoke, with genuine enthusiasm and interest in both the subject matter and helping patients. In terms of patient care, Professor Kotecha was outstanding. He took the time to listen to my concerns and made me feel that no question was too small or insignificant. I never felt rushed during consultations, and it was evident that he genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for me. His approachable manner and willingness to engage openly made a significant difference throughout the process. In fact, after one consultation, I remarked to my girlfriend that it genuinely felt like he cared more about my problems than I did, which says a lot about the level of attention and commitment he gives to his pa...

Professor Kotecha is extremely knowledgeable and put us a complete ease that surgery for our daughter was best for her health and he was the safest hands to put her in with the operation. Our daughter healed quickly and recovered far better than we anticipated which I feel is due to the quality of Professor Kotecha work. He is kind and very good with children. Also he is clear and concise with information or queries which we liked. Thank you

Dr Kotecha has been seeing my little girl for over 2 years. Recently she had surgery to insert grommets and remove adenoids. Dr Kotecha has been professional throughout all of our appointments and has explained everything clearly along the way. He has been so kind to our little girl, making her feel at ease and we are so grateful for what he has done. It has been life changing for her. We would highly recommend Dr Kotecha to anyone looking for an ENT doctor.
