Patient Testimonial

One of Dr. Mawaheb’s recent patients shared their experience:

I’m incredibly grateful to Dr. Mawaheb Al Wedami for completely transforming my life. I’m now free from the pain that once controlled my life, and I can breathe easily again.”

Areas of Expertise

Dr. Mawaheb specializes in a comprehensive range of ENT services, including:

  • Cosmetic Rhinoplasty
    Improves the appearance of the nose or corrects congenital abnormalities. It can also repair facial fractures, such as a broken nose, for a balanced and refined look.

  • Functional Rhinoplasty
    Restores proper nasal function by opening blocked nasal passages, improving breathing after disease, injury, or burns.

  • Septoplasty
    Corrects a deviated septum to treat chronic sinusitis, stop recurrent nosebleeds, and improve breathing by reshaping the nasal septum.

  • Turbinate Reduction
    Reduces the size of the turbinates (structures in the nose) to relieve nasal congestion, improve breathing, and reduce sinus headaches.

  • Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
    Minimally invasive surgery to treat chronic sinus infections, nasal congestion, and loss of sense of smell, improving overall nasal health.

  • Septal Perforation Repair
    Closes a hole in the nasal septum, which can cause nasal discomfort. The surgical approach depends on the size and location of the perforation.

  • Nasal Bone Fracture Reduction
    Treats fractures of the nasal bone by realigning the bones and restoring normal function and appearance. The treatment plan is tailored to the severity of the fracture.

  • Nose Epistaxis Control
    Stops nosebleeds caused by dry air, trauma, or underlying health issues through specialized interventions that prevent further bleeding.

  • Nose Foreign Body Removal
    Safely removes foreign objects lodged in the nasal passages, typically performed in the clinic.

  • External Ear Otoplasty
    Cosmetic surgery to reshape protruding or asymmetrical ears for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

  • Ear Foreign Body Removal

    A minor procedure to relieve ear discomfort caused by fluid buildup and pressure behind the eardrum, often resulting from ear infections.

    Small tubes are inserted through the eardrum to prevent fluid buildup, commonly used to treat chronic ear infections. Local anesthesia is used for adults, while general anesthesia is used for children.

  • Preauricular Sinus Excision
    Removes a small sinus (opening) near the ear that may cause infections or drainage issues, followed by suturing for proper healing.

  • Ear Piercing
    Performed in the clinic, this simple procedure is available for both adults and children, avoiding cartilage piercing to prevent infection or deformity.

  • Tonsillectomy
    Removes the tonsils under general anesthesia to relieve discomfort from chronic tonsillitis. Recovery typically takes a few days to a week.

  • Peritonsillar Abscess Treatment
    Drains an abscess near the tonsils under local anesthesia, followed by antibiotics and pain relief to prevent complications.

  • Uvuloplasty
    A procedure that reduces snoring and improves airflow by reshaping the uvula, beneficial for mild sleep apnea and overall sleep quality.

  • Throat Trauma (Laceration) Repair
    Repairs throat lacerations to promote wound healing, restore swallowing and speech functions, and prevent further complications.

  • Tongue Tie Repair (Frenectomy)
    Releases a tongue tie to improve mobility, often performed under local anesthesia, addressing speech and feeding difficulties.

  • Hearing Evaluation & Rehabilitation
    Comprehensive assessment of hearing to detect hearing loss early and provide appropriate rehabilitation or treatment.

    Evaluates and treats dizziness through targeted tests and therapies based on the underlying cause.
