I specialise in diagnosing and treating a wide variety of conditions affecting the ear, nose, and throat. These include sinusitis, hearing loss, glue ear, voice and swallowing disorders, snoring and sleep apnoea, tonsillitis, thyroid and parathyroid issues, and head and neck lumps. Whether you have a common concern or a more complex issue, my aim is to provide expert care tailored to your needs.

An ENT consultation begins with a detailed discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and any previous treatments you’ve received. I will then perform a thorough examination, which may include the use of specialised tools to examine your ears, nose, and throat. If needed, I may recommend further diagnostic tests, such as hearing tests, nasal endoscopy, or imaging scans. I’ll explain my findings clearly and work with you to develop a personalised treatment plan.

This depends on whether you are accessing care through the NHS or privately. For NHS patients, a GP referral is usually required. However, if you’re booking a private consultation, you can contact my office directly without a referral. If you’re unsure, my team will be happy to guide you through the process.

You may benefit from seeing an ENT specialist if you experience changes in your voice, persistent ear pain, hearing loss, balance problems, frequent sinus infections, nasal congestion, difficulty breathing through your nose, throat pain, or trouble swallowing. Additionally, if you have symptoms such as snoring, sleep disturbances, or unexplained neck lumps, it’s important to have these evaluated. Early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve your quality of life and prevent complications.

Yes, I have extensive experience treating ENT conditions in both adults and children. For younger patients, I take extra care to provide a reassuring and comfortable environment, understanding that their needs are unique. From treating glue ear and tonsillitis to diagnosing sleep disorders and allergies, I offer a comprehensive service for children, ensuring the best outcomes for their health and development.

I perform a wide range of surgical procedures to address ENT conditions. These include septoplasty (to correct a deviated nasal septum), tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy, grommet insertion, functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), and myringoplasty (repair of a perforated eardrum). Each procedure is tailored to the individual, and I take time to ensure patients are fully informed and prepared before surgery.

Preparation depends on the type of surgery, but my team will provide you with detailed pre-operative instructions. This may include fasting guidelines, adjusting medications, or arranging transport for the day of your procedure. I’ll also discuss what to expect during your recovery, ensuring you feel confident and supported throughout the process. If you have any questions or concerns, I’m always available to address them before your procedure.

Mr Kanzara accepts GP or self-referrals. If you’re booking a private consultation, you can contact my secretary or book directly with Nuffield Health Chester, The Grosvenor Hospital. If you’re unsure, my secretary will be happy to guide you through the process.
