👂 A message from Dr. Muneeb Syed - Struggling with blocked ears? Let us help! 👂

If you’re struggling with blocked ears, I’m here to help!

As a General Practitioner with expertise in Ear Microsuction, I offer a safe and effective way to remove stubborn ear wax, debris, and even small foreign bodies without the discomfort of syringing.

Microsuction is a gentle, dry procedure that can be especially helpful for:

✅ Impacted ear wax that won’t budge
✅ Fungal ear infections (Fungal Otitis Externa)
✅ Removing debris & dead tissue
✅ Patients who cannot have syringing due to infection or eardrum concerns

Unlike traditional syringing, microsuction does not use water, making the experience more comfortable and well-tolerated.

If you’re experiencing ear blockage or discomfort, book an appointment with me for an assessment to see if this procedure is right for you.

I look forward to helping you hear clearly again!

☎️ Call Vitalis Family Medical Practice on 02 8123 1133 to book your consultation.

Warm regards,
Dr. Muneeb Syed
