“Voice problems” “explained everything thoroughly”

September 4, 2026

I thoroughly enjoyed my appointment with Mr. Umapathy and his nursing colleague this weekend.

He explained everything thoroughly prior and following the examination and was very gentle in his manner.

I would highly recommend going to see Mr. Umapathy and wouldn’t hesitate to see him again in the future.

“Excellent ENT consultant” “so kind and patient”

August 31, 2026

Mr Umapathy was so kind and patient with me. Asked questions and listened to my answers without interruption, which is rare in doctors these days! He clearly explained the tests before hand and the results afterwards. He made sure I understood what he had found and suggested further tests. He gave me opportunities to ask questions. He reassured me, made me feel comfortable at all times. Mr Umapathy is an excellent ENT consultant.

“Outstanding and genuine care”

August 31, 2026

Outstanding emergency care from Dr Neel Umapathy

This evening at 7 pm I needed urgent help with an emergency situation. Despite having a completely full schedule of appointments, Dr Umapathy immediately understood how serious my case was and managed to find a slot for me.

He was highly professional throughout, took the time to listen carefully, and answered all my questions in a clear, simple and reassuring way. His assistant was equally supportive and highly professional, making the whole experience even smoother. I left feeling properly looked after and much more at ease.

I am extremely grateful for the flexibility and genuine care shown by both of them. Highly recommended.

“Ear surgery”

August 10, 2026

Mr Umapathy (and team) have been so incredible over the past few months. Extremely attentive, kind, identified the issues with my ear that hadn’t been identified for years and allowed me to have surgery on my ear much quicker than I was expecting!

Thank you very much.

“nasal problems” “all options discussed”

July 7, 2026

First appointment with Mr Umapathy to discuss a nasal problem. Very friendly and professional with an easy-going and calming approach. He asked all the questions that I expected and was keen to give me options and discuss possible treatments, which were fully explained. I really appreciated his concerned and down-to-earth style. I look forward to receiving treatment from him.

“marked improvement on my previous treatment by a different surgeon”

July 6, 2026

I am happy to report a very satisfactory treatment of my nasal polyps by Mr Umapathy. It’s a shame Nobles will not allow private surgery on site but that is my only criticism. Every thing else went very well and it was well worth the short post operative discomfort and expense for the full relief of my symptoms. This was a marked improvement on my previous treatment by a different surgeon!

“Endoscopic Sinus Surgery” “Nasal Polyps” “Septoplasty”

June 10, 2026

Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery, Polyp Removal, Turbinate Reduction and Septoplasty

I originally booked a consultation following a flare-up of tinnitus in my right ear after attending a gig. During the appointment, I also mentioned some ongoing breathing issues, as I had been waking up in the early hours every day struggling to breathe comfortably.

Mr Umapathy checked my ears and performed a nasal endoscopy. He was professional and reassuring, and both he and his nurse made me feel comfortable throughout the procedure. The examination revealed a deviated septum, nasal polyps, enlarged turbinates, and blocked sinuses.

Mr Umapathy is a friendly and knowledgeable consultant who explained my condition and the proposed treatment plan thoroughly.

The following week, I underwent a hearing test and CT scan. Following a review of the CT scan results, sinus surgery was recommended. Naturally, I was quite nervous about the prospect of surgery, but Mr Umapathy took the time to address all of my concerns and put me completely at ease. The hearing test was clear, and I have been learning to manage the tinnitus flare-ups with good-quality moulded earplugs and regular breaks.

On February 21st, I underwent surgery at Spire Hospital Liverpool. The procedure went very well, and the care I received from the hospital staff was outstanding. Another major advantage was that all of my follow-up appointments took place at Noble’s Hospital, meaning I didn’t have to travel far.

I am now nearly 16 weeks post-surgery and can breathe so much better than before. I also sleep through the night without any issues, which has made a huge difference to my quality of life.

Around three days after surgery, when I began the nasal rinses, I experienced immediate relief and actually looked forward to the next one. Although the sensation felt a little strange at first, it quickly became second nature. Following Mr Umapathy’s instructions regarding the rinses was an important part of my recovery.

I purchased two NeilMed bottle kits (available from Boots) and stocked up on extra sachets. During recovery, I found that using two bottles per nostril, two to three times a day, worked very well for me.

Based on my experience, I would highly recommend booking a consultation with Mr Umapathy.

“ear issues”

June 1, 2026

My recently bereaved and elderly mum visited Mr Umapathy with various ear issues. He put her mind at rest by explaining the issues clearly with a plan going forward. She was nervous going in but was very impressed with the sensitive and gentle manner in which he dealt with her.

“Sinus and throat symptoms”

“Tonsil cysts” “recommend Manx ENT to anyone…”

May 29, 2026

I have waited over two years to try and get confirmation that I had cysts on my tonsil area, after being sent to the wrong clinic and told I had a tonsil stone ! It was really brilliant to be able to see Dr Umapathy very quickly, and to received the correct diagnosis and know that the cysts were nothing sinister. He was very understanding and listened to me, and we decided to to the whole camera procedure on both my sinuses and my throat. Walking away with a clean bill of health was great after such a long drawn out wait with the Manx care, who have quite a back log in that area. I would recommend Manx ENT to anyone who want to pay, a reasonable fee for diagnosis.

“sinus problem” “nasal endoscopy”

May 5, 2026

Had an appointment the week before last with Mr Neel Umapathy to ascertain a diagnosis following a sinus problem a few months back that hadn’t cleared up properly. Following an nasal endoscopy undertaken there and then Mr Umapathy showed me the photos; explained the findings and discussed his treatment plan. I found the whole experience to be caring and highly efficient with a course of action planned in my first Consultation. Mr Umapathy and his nurse were outstanding in patient care, consideration and support to provide a relaxed and informative environment with an end result in sight.

Would most certainly recommend Mr Umapathy and his team.

“Endoscopic sinus surgery”

April 25, 2026

” I cannot speak highly enough of the care I’ve received from my ENT surgeon Dr Umapathy. From my very first consultation, they demonstrated exceptional professionalism, deep expertise, and a genuine commitment to my wellbeing. He took the time to listen carefully to my concerns, explained my condition in a clear and reassuring way, and outlined treatment options with honesty and transparency. Throughout my treatment, I’ve felt completely confident in their skill and judgement. The level of precision and care is evident at every stage, and the results have been life-changing. What stood out most was their compassion — they never made me feel rushed, always answered my questions thoroughly, and showed real empathy for what I was going through. The entire experience, from diagnosis to follow-up care, has been outstanding. I’m incredibly grateful to be under their care and would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Umapathy to anyone in need of an ENT specialist.

“sudden hearing loss”

April 23, 2026

I have a sudden hearing loss on one side. Turns out I have a serious ear infection. Mr Umapathy is not only highly skilled, he is a Gentleman. He conducted a thorough examination, explaining every step in the process and was kind and caring throughout, just as he was with my late brother a few years back. Highly recommended.

“Sinus surgery — knowledge and expertise evident”

April 19, 2026

I recently underwent sinus surgery with Mr Umapathy and felt compelled to share my experience. Prior to seeing Mr Umapathy I unfortunately had a negative experience with another ENT consultant on the Island, which left me feeling anxious and uncertain about pursuing further treatment. From my very first appointment, Mr Umapathy changed that perception to make me feel genuinely listened to and took the time to understand my symptoms and concerns. His knowledge and expertise in his specialist field were clearly evident and he explained my condition and treatment options in a thorough and easy to understand way. This allowed me to feel fully informed and confident in making decisions about my care. The surgery itself was very successful and the care I received throughout the process was excellent. Mr Umapathy’s professionalism, reassurance and clear communication made what could have been a very stressful experience feel safe and well managed. I am extremely grateful for the care I received and would highly recommend Mr Umapathy to anyone needing an ENT specialist.

“explained everything clearly” “no hesitation in recommending”

April 13, 2026

I attended my appointment with Mr Neel Umapathy last week and was invited on time with a friendly smile from both him and his nurse. After a discussion of my symptoms he explained clearly how he would be using the endoscope camera, with my permission, and afterwards he showed me the video on screen showing the inside of my nose and sinus, explaining the areas in question. They were very pleasant throughout and listened to my concerns, then advising me what will happen next. I would have no hesitation on recommending them if you have to attend and they made me feel completely at ease.

Thanks again.

“grommets inserted” “excellent with children” “always positive experience”

March 28, 2026

Mr Umapathy always delivers a warm welcoming professional appointment.

My 6yr old daughter had grommets inserted and he has looked after her ongoing care in a professional manner well above most consultants have in the past. It has at times been complex with her needs and Mr Umapathy has gone above and beyond.

He is excellent with children and achieving their care without them being concerned. Our daughter has additional needs and he has been able to get her to corporate to get the treatment done. Wouldn’t want my daughters ENT needs to be driven by anyone else than Mr Umapathy and his lovely team.

Thank you for your continued support!

To others reading this please don’t have any hesitation or concern in booking a consultation as it’s always a positive experience.
