Dr. Tamer Attia is a Consultant Otolaryngologist (ENT and Head & Neck surgeon) registered in the UAE since 2015, with over 23 years of specialist experience. He trained in Egypt, Austria, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, earning his doctorate in Otolaryngology from Menoufia University, Egypt, and completing a clinical fellowship at the Medical University of Graz in Austria. He has held consultant status since 2009.
Dr. Attia specializes in minimally invasive endoscopic surgery of the nose and sinuses, ear surgery to restore hearing and treat chronic infections, voice-box procedures, and throat surgery using coblation technology (a gentler technique with less pain and bleeding). He also performs head and neck cancer surgery with nerve monitoring to protect vital structures, skull-base surgery to repair brain fluid leaks and remove pituitary tumours through the nose, orbital decompression for bulging eyes, and removal of swallowed or inhaled foreign bodies. His work draws on advanced imaging and endoscopic techniques to minimize surgical trauma.
Beyond clinical practice, Dr. Attia is an educator and researcher. He has been faculty at Menoufia University since 2002 and currently holds the rank of Associate Professor there. He previously taught at Prince Sattam bin AbdulAziz University in Saudi Arabia and has published research on tinnitus, facial nerve paralysis, nasal polyps, loss of smell, and post-operative recovery. He is a fit for patients seeking expert endoscopic surgery, hearing restoration, voice improvement, or complex head and neck conditions, particularly those wanting to avoid traditional open surgery.
Special interests: minimally invasive endoscopic techniques, skull base and intracranial tumour removal through the nose, coblation technology for less painful surgery, cranial nerve preservation during head and neck surgery, loss of smell disorders.
