Mr Natesh is an amazing surgeon, very professional and answered all of the preop and postoperative questions I had with clear instructions on how to manage my symptoms well. I would definitely recommend him for ENT issues.

I had to have my second balloon dilation for subglottal stenosis. This took around 2 years to diagnose with my GP thinking I had asthma, allergies, post nasal drip etc. Nothing worked, inhalers etc were useless. All the time my breathing was getting noisier and I was finding it harder to breathe. Eventually I got another GP to refer me for further investigations and Subglottal Stenosis was diagnosed. I had my first dilation in January 2025. Unfortunately these will need to be repeated but I know I am in good hands with Mr Natesh. It is very rare, so much so it doesn’t come up as one of the options as to what I was actually treated for.

Mr Natesh has been fantastic throughout. I found a lump over a year ago, but then became pregnant, and throughout that time he stayed in touch and was always quick to respond to any concerns I had. He is a really kind and approachable man with a positive and reassuring manner that immediately put me at ease. His professionalism and support made a stressful situation much easier to deal with.

Mr Natesh has been amazing in his care regarding my enlarged thyroid, both before the procedure and post operation. His genuine calm and kind bedside manner is only superseded by his surgical skills which I do not pretend to understand but a major operation without a single moment of pain in the first week is truly a reflection of his skill as a surgeon. Add to this his kindness, looking at the patient as a whole and not just focussing on the medical side, reduced my stress levels immeasurably to the extent that I had no anxiety before the operation and his attention and aftercare has been simply outstanding.
