The main assessments and procedures carried out in the clinic:

Nasal endoscopy
Oto-endoscopy (endoscopic examination of the ear)
Videolaryngoscopy (endoscopic assessment of the larynx and throat)
Tuning fork tests (Rinne, Weber)
Ear cleaning and removal of foreign bodies (ear, nose, oropharynx)
Treatment of nosebleeds
Abscess drainage
Radiofrequency turbinate reduction
Biopsy from the head and neck region (nasopharynx, mouth, oropharynx)
Excision of naevi (moles)

Which endoscopic examinations are done at the consultation?

In the clinic I assess the nose, throat and ear with a thin endoscope: nasal endoscopy (inside the nose), oto-endoscopy (the ear) and videolaryngoscopy (larynx and throat — used not only for the vocal cords but for other conditions in this region). We can also make a first assessment of hearing with tuning fork tests (Rinne, Weber). For most patients this is completed in a few minutes in the office, with no extra preparation.

Anaesthesia is generally not needed. For patients with a sensitive throat and a strong gag reflex, we can lightly numb the mouth with a soothing spray during videolaryngoscopy; for patients with very enlarged turbinates, a medication applied inside the nose shrinks the blood vessels and lightly numbs the area, making the examination more comfortable. The procedure takes about 4 minutes on average.

Endoscopic examination and ear cleaning are part of a routine ENT assessment.

Which procedures are performed in the clinic?

Procedures such as ear cleaning, removal of a foreign body, abscess drainage and treatment of a nosebleed can be assessed and carried out during the consultation without extra preparation. Before procedures such as radiofrequency, biopsy and naevus excision, a simple blood test is requested — a standard preliminary check so the procedure can be done safely.

If a hearing test is needed, where is it done?

In the clinic, tuning fork tests (Rinne and Weber) give a first, rough idea of hearing — a simple but useful guide. A detailed hearing test with numerical results (audiometry), however, is not done in the clinic; when needed I refer you to a reliable external centre and we go through the result together at the next visit.

How do you book, and how long does it take?
