Sydney's leading sinus doctor & nose specialist

One of the best sinus doctors in Sydney

Prof Harvey is considered one of Australia’s pre-eminent nose specialists and one of the best sinus doctor s in Sydney. During training in otolaryngology (Ear Nose & Throat Surgery), Richard identified a growing need to provide more specialised care for those people with nose, sinus, allergy, and skull base conditions. Subspecialisation has allowed some doctors to provide their patients with a greater knowledge and care in particular fields that was not offered by standard training alone. Sydney is fortunate to have specialists in ears, voice, and head & neck surgery. Few doctors, however, had travelled abroad to gain a greater knowledge of rhinology/endoscopic surgery (nose, sinus, allergy and skull base). . Richard is the only dual fellowship trained rhinologist in Australia practising as a dedicated nose and sinus specialist..

Richard currently works as a dedicated rhinologist (nose, sinus, allergy and endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery) at Macquarie University and St Vincent’s Hospitals in Sydney.
