Practising across clinics in Derby and Nottingham, Professor Judd provides the full range of ENT surgical procedures as well as a comprehensive paediatric service. He has particular expertise in complex ear surgery.
He has particular expertise in migraine, balance disorders, and complex ear surgery, and was one of the first surgeons in the country to offer total endoscopic ear surgery - a minimally invasive ear surgery technique. He now teaches this technique nationally. He has also introduced minimally invasive laryngeal surgery under local anaesthetic for voice problems, to the Midlands region.

He has successfully treated over 5,000 patients with a range of injectable treatments and is a pioneer of the TimeNet procedure, which is designed to stimulate collagen production over a longer period of time.
