Mr Kanzara provides a comprehensive patient-centred ENT service for adults and children.

Mr Kanzara regularly attends the regional Head and Neck and Thyroid cancer multidisciplinary team meetings. His commitment to excellence is further demonstrated by regular audits of his practice against national guidelines.
