Explanation

My problem was severely deviated septum, unable to breath from right side of nose. On my first visit to see Mr Arora he took time to understand the issues I had, he explained in great detail what the next steps should be. We agreed a plan of action which initially involved medication, but ultimately led to a surgical solution. We took several months trying to resolve the issues before surgery was considered. The risks/benefits were clearly explained and the surgery went smoothly. My recovery is now complete and I am very pleased with the results. Mr Arora is very friendly with a great bedside manner, he takes time to understand and explain. I have no problem recommending his services.

Exceptional Surgical Experience with Mr. Asit Arora and Emma Barraclough I recently underwent a surgical procedure to have a large growth removed from my thyroid, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding care provided by Mr. Asit Arora and his secretary, Emma Barraclough. From the moment I stepped into their office, I was met with warmth and professionalism. Emma's efficiency and empathy made the administrative process seamless, ensuring I felt supported and informed every step of the way. Her attention to detail and willingness to address any concerns or questions I had truly eased my apprehensions about the upcoming surgery. Mr. Asit Arora's expertise as a surgeon is unparalleled. Not only is he incredibly skilled, but his bedside manner is truly exceptional. He took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, alleviating any fears I had and ensuring I felt confident in his abilities. His calm and reassuring demeanor immediately put me at ease, and I knew I was in capable hands. The surgery itself was a success, thanks to Mr. Arora's precision and proficiency. The post-operative care I received was exemplary, with both Mr. Arora and Emma ensuring I was comfortable and well-informed throughout the recovery process. Their dedication to my well-being extended beyond the operating room, demonstrating their genuine commitment to patient care. I cannot recommend Mr. Asit Arora and Emma Barraclough highly enough. Their professionalism, compassion, and expertise have made my surgical experience smooth and worry-free. If you are seeking top-notch medical care with a personal touch, look no further than Mr. Arora and his dedicated team. Thank you, Mr. Arora and Emma, for your outstanding service and for going above and beyond to ensure my health and satisfaction. Sincerely, Ian W

From my first appointment with Mr Arora I felt that I was in very safe and knowledgeable hands. He immediately put me at my ease and after discussion and examination clearly explained what he thought the problems were and established a plan of remediation. Mr Arora was my first experience of private healthcare after I was unable to access an NHS appointment. I was a self paying patient and he was at pains to mitigate the cost without compromising the outcome. This was very much appreciated by myself. I very much appreciated as well that throughout my treatment if I had any concerns was able access Mr Arora through his excellent PA who was always very helpful and responsive to any queries.

Mr. Arora was superb from my first consultation to the weeks after surgery. Mr. Arora radiated excellence throughout our many consultations together; no questions were left unanswered, and I had no doubt in my mind that I was in good hands when having my tonsillectomy. Mr. Arora prepared me adequately for the procedure and saw that I recovered well on the other side. On the day of my surgery, the hospital made an error with equipment - Mr. Arora fought my corner and insisted that all should be done to proceed with my surgery without delay. I would also like to give a special thanks to his lovely assistant Emma, who always communicated on behalf of Mr. Arora promptly, and ensured that appointments and progression through treatment happened swiftly and succinctly.

Asit spent his final year of formal ENT training under my care, before moving on to several international Robotic Head & Neck Fellowships, and I knew then he would go far. It is thus no surprise that he is now at the vanguard of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) in the UK, running a supraspecialist and tertiary practice in both in the NHS and privately. And while Asit of course has robotic surgical skills, there is nothing 'robotic' about his manner ... he reamins ever charming, kind and caring.
