Children's ENT
Dr Samuel sees babies, children and teenagers as well as adults. Common reasons children are referred include glue ear, repeated tonsillitis, enlarged adenoids, snoring and tongue-tie. Examinations are done at our rooms. All operations for children are done under general anaesthetic, not in our rooms. Read more about children's ENT care.
What happens at your appointment
Dr Samuel will ask about your symptoms and examine your ears, nose and throat. Depending on the problem, this may include a look inside the nose with a small camera (nasendoscopy). Hearing tests are not done at our rooms; if you need one, it is arranged externally.
He will explain what he finds and talk through your options. These may include watching and re-checking, medicines or other non-surgical treatment, or surgery where it is appropriate. All surgery has risks, including the risks of anaesthetic. If surgery is suggested, Dr Samuel will explain the expected benefits and limits, the risks that apply to you and what recovery usually involves. See what to bring to your appointment.
