About Me
Meet Mr. Vikas Acharya
Hello, I’m Mr. Vikas Acharya, a Consultant ENT Surgeon, Nose and Sinus Disease Specialist based in North London. I currently practice at the Royal National ENT and Eastman Dental Hospitals (UCLH), where I lead community ENT services and mentor the next generation of surgeons. My clinical focus lies in diseases of the nose and sinuses, helping patients breathe freely, sleep better, and live more comfortably. Each consultation is unhurried and deeply personal. I take time to understand your symptoms, review diagnostic details carefully, and discuss every option in clear, simple language. Beyond the clinic, I’m passionate about teaching, ENT innovation, and creating better pathways of care, ensuring patients receive accessible, coordinated, and compassionate treatment across both the NHS and private practice.

Why See a Paediatric ENT Specialist in London?
With children, even the smallest ENT issue can feel like a national emergency. A nose that refuses to unblock, snoring that sounds like a tiny freight train, or ear infections that magically appear the moment you plan a holiday; I see these stories every single week.
As a paediatric ENT consultant, I know children aren’t just “mini adults.” Their ears, throats and airways play by their own rules. That’s why I examine them gently, explain everything in language they understand, and create treatment plans that suit their age, comfort and personality (including the wriggly, shy, and very-curious ones).
When you see me privately in London or Bushey, you also get:
- shorter waiting times (because kids don’t enjoy waiting rooms),
- quick and accurate diagnosis,
- child-friendly clinics with modern testing,
- and calm, clear communication; for both you and your little one.
When your child feels relaxed and safe, the whole process becomes smoother… and sometimes even a little fun.
And yes, that makes treatment easier for everyone.
Meet Mr Vikas Acharya - Consultant Paediatric ENT Surgeon
Hello, I’m Vikas Acharya, a Consultant Paediatric ENT surgeon, and the person parents usually meet after Google has thoroughly worried them. I specialise in children’s ear, nose and throat conditions, and I’ve trained across some of the UK’s leading centres (with enough exams, fellowships and late-night study sessions to last a lifetime).
My approach is simple: calm, friendly, and centred around your child. I know that young patients come in all personalities; the shy ones, the curious ones, the ones who ask very detailed questions, and the ones who won’t sit still for more than three seconds. I adjust my style to each of them.
I work across London and Bushey, offering families clear explanations, safe evidence-based treatment, and absolutely no rushing. Whether your child is dealing with glue ears that won’t budge, snoring loud enough to shake the walls, or yet another bout of tonsillitis, my goal is always the same: to help them breathe, sleep and hear better and to help you feel reassured every step of the way.

Paediatric ENT Conditions I Treat
Children develop ENT symptoms for all sorts of reasons; growth, infections, allergies or simply the way their anatomy is changing. I diagnose, manage and treat a wide range of conditions to help your child breathe, sleep and hear comfortably again.
Common Conditions Include:
Glue Ear (Otitis Media with Effusion)
This often causes muffled hearing or speech delay. I assess it with hearing tests and offer evidence-based treatment to support clearer hearing.
Recurrent Tonsillitis
Frequent infections can disrupt sleep and affect your child’s day-to-day comfort. I help identify when medical care is enough and when tonsil surgery may be the right next step.
Snoring & Sleep Apnoea
Loud snoring or breathing pauses at night can affect behaviour and focus. I evaluate the airway and create a plan that helps children sleep more peacefully.
Blocked Nose & Allergic Rhinitis
Constant congestion can affect breathing and comfort. I assess the root cause and provide targeted treatment to ease symptoms.
Hearing Loss & Eustachian Tube Problems
If your child struggles to hear consistently, early evaluation is essential. I use child-friendly hearing tests to identify the issue quickly.
Nosebleeds (Epistaxis)
Regular or heavy nosebleeds can be worrying. I review the underlying cause and provide safe, effective treatment.
Tongue-tie
Whether it affects feeding or speech, I assess your child gently and guide you on the right timing and treatment.
Chronic Sinus & Nasal Concerns
Persistent congestion, facial pressure or recurring infections are issues I commonly treat with both medical and minimally invasive options.

Treatment Options
Your Child’s Treatment Journey - From Consultation to Recovery
Getting help for your child shouldn’t feel overwhelming, and I make sure it isn’t.
Here’s how I guide families through every step, clearly and calmly.
- Initial Consultation & Examination
I begin with a gentle, child-friendly assessment and take time to understand your child’s symptoms, medical history and any concerns you may have as a parent.
- Hearing Tests & Diagnostics
If needed, I arrange audiology tests, nasal endoscopy or imaging. These help me see exactly what’s happening so we can avoid guesswork and make confident decisions together.
- Personalised Treatment Plan
I walk you through every option, from medical treatment to surgery explaining what each involves and what’s best for your child’s long-term wellbeing.
- Treatment or Procedure
If treatment is required, I offer rapid access to private care with minimal waiting times. My focus is always on keeping your child comfortable and calm throughout the process.
- Recovery & Follow-Up
I stay involved well after the appointment or procedure. Follow-up checks, hearing assessments and ongoing support ensure your child continues to improve and stay well.

Here’s what families can expect when they see me:

FAQ’s
Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re navigating constant sneezing, congestion, or itchy eyes, here are some of the most common questions patients ask about allergic rhinitis and my answers to help you breathe easier.
What age range of children do you treat?
Paediatric ENT care covers all ages from newborns to teenagers. Each child receives a treatment plan tailored to their developmental stage to ensure safe, age-appropriate care.
What causes frequent ear infections in children?
Frequent ear infections in children are usually caused by immature Eustachian tubes, viral infections, or enlarged adenoids. Early assessment is important to protect hearing and prevent recurrent symptoms.
Is private paediatric ENT care covered by insurance?
Yes. Most major insurance providers cover private paediatric ENT assessments and treatments. Families can confirm policy details with their insurer or ask the clinic for guidance.
How quickly can my child be seen?
Children can usually be seen within a few days at the London or Bushey clinic. Fast access ensures early diagnosis and prompt treatment when needed.
You can book your Appointment directly from my Appointment page.
Will my child always need surgery?
No. Most paediatric ENT conditions improve with medication, monitoring, or non-surgical treatment. Surgery is recommended only when necessary to resolve persistent symptoms or complications.
What happens after surgery and how is follow-up arranged?
After paediatric ENT surgery, your child receives clear recovery guidance and scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor healing and track improvements in breathing or hearing.
