I took my little boy to see Dr Khemani when he was 2 years old because he was struggling to eat and stay focused with meals, dribbled excessively all of the time and snored chronically. I just wanted to check everything was okay, specifically over the eating issues. It turns out my son had very enlarged adanoids and tonsils. Mr Khemani suggested a treatment with steroid nose drops and then a lower dosage spray to try to shrink the adanoids and tonsils making it easier for my son to break through his nose and eat more easily. After several months of routinely administering the medication it had little effect. After almost a year of trying to sort the issue without surgery Mr Khemani advised that he thought surgery was the only real way or making a tangible change to my little boy. He informed us of all of the risk (of which there was very little due to the new and amazing procedure he uses where you dissolve the tonsils and adanoids rather than cutting and removing,) and gave us details of where we could find information to help us make an informed desicion about whether or not to go ahead with surgery. There was no pressure, just information. He checked my sons hearingn too and it was discovered he has glue ear and was under average with his hearing tests. Just after my son turned three he had the operation and it has been life changing. The results are incredible and in a short space of time my son has stopped snoring and dribbling all together. His attitude to food is unrecognisable and I can’t fill him up! Mr Khemani was so kind to my little boy at every meeting. He was really good at speaking to him and explaining things to me. Ultimately, on the day of surgery he was really reassuring and very relaxed and calm about the procedure. We were made to feel like it was all very routine and there was no drama at all. As it so happens it transpired my little boy had adanoids that were so big they were blocking 80% of his nasal passage and his glue ear was so severe in one ear he would have been practically deaf in that ear. Mr Khamani said that the operation would be life changing for my son and it really has been. I’m so glad we see Mr Khamani early and took the action we did when we did to avoid any behavioural issues further down the line. I feel like we explored all the options thoroughly before embarking on surgery. Nothing was rushed, nothing was ignored, everything was monitored and taken into co side ration before reaching a full al assesment. I’m very grateful for the care and attention my little boy received.
