Natalie Watson

Miss Natalie Watson is a Consultant ENT Surgeon and Consultant Laryngologist with specialist expertise in conditions affecting the voice, airway, throat and swallowing. She treats patients with a wide range of laryngological problems, including complex disorders that can significantly affect breathing, communication and swallowing. Her practice also includes caring for professional voice users and performing artists, for whom maintaining vocal function can be particularly important. She combines detailed clinical assessment with a supportive and individualised approach to ensure patients understand their diagnosis and treatment options.

Her specialist practice includes the assessment and treatment of chronic cough, persistent throat symptoms, laryngopharyngeal reflux and obstructive sleep apnoea, alongside a broad range of voice and upper airway disorders. She uses advanced diagnostic technology, including video laryngostroboscopy, to assess vocal fold movement and function in detail. Her procedural expertise includes microlaryngoscopy, vocal fold injection laryngoplasty, transnasal oesophagoscopy, laryngeal laser surgery and targeted injections, with treatments performed either in theatre or, where appropriate, within the clinic setting. She works closely with Speech and Language Therapists and other members of the multidisciplinary team to provide coordinated care focused on restoring function, confidence and quality of life.

Miss Watson graduated from Guy's, King's and St Thomas' Medical School in 2009 with an MBBS and double distinctions, having previously achieved a first-class Honours BSc in Neuroscience.
