Consultant ENT Surgeon
Mr Vikram Dhar
Vikram graduated in Medicine from Imperial College London in 2000. His extensive training included a year of laboratory-based cancer research, followed by 13 years of intensive surgical training at world-renowned institutions such as Great Ormond Street Hospital, the Evelina London Children's Hospital, St Bartholomew's (Barts) and Guy's Hospital. He later returned to Imperial College to complete his third degree – a Master's in Surgical Education.
He was awarded the prestigious Royal College of Surgeons Interface Surgical Fellowship, during which he spent a year at Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead, performing complex head and neck resections and reconstructions.
Mr. Dhar has published extensively in scientific journals and has presented his research at surgical conferences internationally.
In 2014, he was appointed as a Consultant ENT Surgeon with a specialist interest in Head and Neck Surgery at East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust.
He holds several senior educational and leadership roles. He serves as the Royal College of Surgeons College Tutor for Surgery at the William Harvey Hospital and is the Lead for the Faculty of Surgery across the entire East Kent NHS Trust.
Mr. Dhar's broad surgical repertoire reflects his wealth of experience. He treats both adults and children and maintains a high-volume surgical practice with expertise in Head and Neck, Voice and Sinonasal surgery. He also has a strong interest in the management of ear conditions. Known for his surgical precision and clear, empathetic communication, Mr. Dhar places great emphasis on building trust and rapport with his patients – foundations that underpin his clinical practice.
Currently, Mr. Dhar is the Clinical Lead for ENT at the Trust, a role that provides him with a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities facing the region's healthcare services.
Outside of medicine, Vik finds joy in spending time with his three sons and watching them play cricket, often accompanied by his wife and the family's Cocker Spaniel.

Mr Dhar listened carefully and understood what I was asking for, and gave me a full and considered explanation of my concern. I appreciated that there was no sense of feeling rushed during the consultation, although he was running a bit late from the start.
