About
Mr Mahalingam is a highly recommended award-winning ENT Consultant Surgeon with an NHS Practice at Tunbridge Wells and Maidstone Hospitals. He practices privately in Tunbridge Wells and Central London (Harley Street). He graduated from University College London, and has undergone rigorous training in all aspects of Adult and Paediatric ENT in prestigious centres in London, Cambridge, Kent, Surrey and Sussex, supplemented by further exposure in Centres of Excellence in North America (New York and Toronto). As well as treating all General Adult ENT Conditions, having trained at the Evelina Children’s Hospital (London), he also has expertise in managing children with a wide range of ENT problems.
Mr Mahalingam is one of very few ENT surgeons in the UK to have gained highly advanced specialist training in rhinology (the management of nasal and sinus conditions). Having been awarded the European Rhinology Society Fellowship Prize, he has undertaken the Advanced Rhinology and Facial Plastic Surgery fellowship in Winchester/Southampton through international competition, which has allowed him to further his passion and sub-specialist interest in nasal, sinus problems and facial reconstructive surgery. He was subsequently awarded the British Society of Facial Plastic Surgery fellowship prize providing him with enhanced training in facial plastic surgery.
By mirroring his NHS practice and private practice, and actively monitoring patient outcomes following treatment, he prides himself in providing the best possible care to his patients.
Mr Mahalingam holds regular Friday and weekend (Saturday) clinics.
