About me

Mr Kevin Kulendra is an ENT consultant with an NHS practice based at W.Middlesex Hospital and Chelsea & Westminster Hospital with Private Practice at New Victoria Hospital, St. Anthony's Hospital and HCA Chiswick Medical Centre and The Lister Hospital.

Mr Kulendra commenced his full time NHS post in 2018. He currently has regular adult and paediatric clinics with Head and Neck Clinics and regular participation in the Head & Neck MDT.

This was following 2 fellowships in Facial Plastic Surgery and Rhinology respectively. The European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery (EAFPS) involved Rhinoplasty, Pinnaplasty and facial plastic surgery including head and neck skin cancer treatment with local flap reconstruction. International experience with facial plastic surgery and non surgical treatments such as Botox and Fillers was also gained with Professor Jonathan Sykes who practices Facial Plastic Surgery in Sacramento and Beverly Hills, USA. This was followed by a Rhinology (sinus surgery) fellowship.

Mr Kulendra qualified from St. Georges University London with a distinction in his finals in 2004. He secured his national training number in 2010 and joined the specialist register in 2016. He has published work regularly throughout his higher surgical training and fellowships with over 20 publications including work in 3 book chapters (including Nasal Septal Perforation in Scott-Brown's Otorhinolaryngology and Cosmetic Surgery in Key Topics in Otolaryngology) and 3 ENT UK FPS Dissection Manual Chapters (including chapters on Otoplasty / Pinnaplasty and Non-Surgical facial rejuvenation). Much of his work has been presented at National and International meetings and has been awarded national ENT awards such as The British Rhinology Travelling Fellowship for contributions to research work within the field of Rhinology (Nose and Sinus Surgery).

With over 10 years of ENT experience and increasing Facial Plastic Surgical Experience he has now developed his company KNK ENT&FPS. This was developed to provide a bespoke high quality surgical service to accommodate patient's medical and social requirements and will continually evolve to meet patients' needs.

He has a keen interest in both Hockey and Cricket having captained the 1 XI team University London Hockey and United Hospital Cricket Teams.
