After completing my basic surgical training on the South Coast, I have dedicated some time to research in ENT. For a year I worked in the world renowned Sanger Institute in Cambridge, studying the genetics of age related hearing loss. I was then selected for Higher Specialist Training in Ear Nose and Throat Surgery in the East of England Rotation. This included training at prestigious university teaching hospitals such as Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge. Through competitive entry I have been awarded the Cambridge Otology Fellowship. This is where I completed my sub-speciality training in complex otology (ear surgery), ear implantation (cochlear implants and other hearing implants) and balance disorders. I hold a Master of Science degree in Evidence Based Medicine and Health Technology Assessment. I was appointed as an ENT Consultant with the East Kent Hospitals NHS Trust in Feb 2014 and I am now running a busy ENT general practice for children and adults, as well as a specialist practice for ear disorders and balance. Since my appointment as a Consultant I continued to develop my expertise by visiting international centres of ENT excellence and maintaining close links with experts in the field, for example Prof Daniele Marchioni, in Verona, Italy and Prof John Dornhoffer in Arkansas, USA. I hold an Honorary Consultant appointment with the Southend Hospital where I perform complex reconstructive ear surgery alongside and train another Otology Consultant colleague. I am passionate about teaching the new generation of surgeons and have been invited to join the faculty of ENT Masterclass, an organisation delivering ENT training for senior trainees and junior consultants in the UK and internationally. Click here for more information: www.entmasterclass.com. I also teach in the Advanced Cambridge Otology course (practical complex ear surgery course) and the Temporal Bone Dissection courses in Cambridge, Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital in London.I am a founding member of the Anglo-Romanian Ear Surgery Course, held annually in Cluj, Romania, where I train ENT surgeons though hands on dissection and live surgery. ENT UK, the professional body of Ear Nose and Throat Surgeons in the UK, has awarded me the International Otology Travelling Fellowship for 2018 as recognition to the high quality service provided to my patients and my dedication to improvement of my surgical skills. This enabled me to spend two weeks with Prof Erwin Offeciers and his world renowned team of ear surgeons in Antwerp, Belgium, learning a novel technique for reconstructive ear surgery. I am committed to ensuring that my patients get the best treatment available, supported by the latest research in the field. I am an active researcher and for my work I won the Xomed-Treace prize and a pump priming grant with the Otorhinolaryngology Research Society. I have run a trial for transtympanic steroid injections (injections through the ear drum) for Meniere’s disease patients. I currently run studies for necrotising otitis externa and sudden sensorineural hearing loss.
Ms Neumann is a wonderful consultant, I have seen quite a few ENT consultants throughout my life and I have never met someone as thorough as she is. I've had on going ENT problem since childhood and Ms Neumann looked at my case from every possible angle and explored them. She referred my onto other specialists for tests and after receiving results, she asked me back in and explained them to me thoroughly and clearly, which gave me a clear and understandable insight to the problem. She takes her time with you, you never feel like ' just another one through the door' I'm so glad I was referred to her as I feel like I'm finally getting answers and being steered in the right direction for the help I actually need. You honestly couldn't wish for a better consultant.

Outstanding care from Ms. Codruta Neumann – thank you I would like to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation to Ms. Codruta Neumann, who performed a complex 6-hour mastoid obliteration surgery on my ear in February 2024 due to chronic ear disease. Since the surgery, I have been feeling very well – the outcome exceeded all my expectations. My recovery was smooth, and my overall well-being has significantly improved. Ms. Neumann’s exceptional medical expertise, confident approach, and kind demeanor were evident at every appointment. From the very beginning, she provided detailed and clear information about the procedure and follow-up care, which helped ease my worries and allowed me to fully trust her. Although I was naturally anxious before the operation, her professionalism and reassuring attitude made me feel safe and cared for throughout the entire process. I am sincerely grateful to have been treated by such a highly skilled and dedicated doctor. I wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Codruta Neumann to anyone seeking excellent care and expert treatment. Thank you for restoring my peace of mind and quality of life. With heartfelt thanks, Miss Maria Molnar

Dr Neumann always listens to me and ask how I am. She doesn’t hurry me and has my welfare at heart.

Ms. Neumann was wonderful because she put me and my wife at ease, listened to everything we said, and explained both the procedure she was carrying out and the results in a way we both could easily understand. She recommended next steps and will follow up so that our local surgery knows what the issues are.

I was so pleased to be referred to Ms Neumann. At my initial consultation Ms Neumann put me at ease, and went into great detail explaining the procedure I would require. The operation went smoothly and I was given excellent care throughout.

Doctor was upfront and honest. I has a difficult decision to make. She gave me all the options, with the good and the bad. My choice was built on the information she gave me. It wasn't what I wanted but it was what was best for me.

Ms Codruta Neumann is a life changer, miracle worker and I cannot thank her enough! I have had a hearing impairment my whole life. I’ve always depended on the use of hearing aids in both ears and when the batteries die it’s a panic to replace them so I can hear again. Being under 30 I refused to wear the ‘old man’ NHS aids and spent thousands on in-ear ‘hidden’ aids. Last year I had an operation initially intended to prevent my hearing getting worse, Ms Neumann completely reconstructed the internals of my ear, with unnoticeable scaring. And noticeable improvement to my hearing. So much so that I no longer need to wear hearing aids at all!! The bones she replaced are microscopically small and I can only imagine the work involved in such an operation is nothing short of miraculous. Codruta is an absolute saint and I cannot thank you enough, you’ve completely changed my life!

Dr Neumann took a lot of time to listen to me, asked pertinent questions so that I was sure she understood my condition. She then explained what she thought the cause of my problem was and what she suggested we should do next (which she then arranged). What I really liked is that she gave me all the time I needed and I did not feel like a number that had to be moved along as quickly as possible.

I have been seeing Ms Neumann for several years and during this time have always received the very best care. I have total trust in her and am always totally comfortable with her advice. I feel I am always listened to and although she is very busy I have always been given 100% of her time and focus. It is always a pleasure to see Ms Neumann, I wouldn't want anyone else in charge of my care. Thank you!

Extremely thorough and comprehensive consultation. Ms Neumann had excellent interpersonal skills and made me feel at ease. She listened attentively throughout the consultation, did a thorough examination and explained her thoughts clearly. I have every confidence in her diagnostic skills and care.
