About me

Professor Rea is consultant ear, nose and throat surgeon in Leicester. He has a busy clinical practice and consults on all aspects of ENT disorders in both adults and children. He has been elected President of the British Society of Otology for 2020-22, and has been Chairman of the British Society of Neuro-otology for the last 6 years. His expertise has led him to be a popular lecturer around the world. He offers a very friendly and welcoming medical practice, and is equally happy seeing both simple and complex ENT symptoms.
