A child who has never heard a sound. A tumor pressing on the brain. A voice suddenly gone.

These are more than medical cases—they are lives I have been trusted to restore. With over two decades of experience and specialized training from premier global institutions, I combine advanced surgical precision with a commitment to patient-centered care. My work  has been featured in leading national and international media, reflecting a career dedicated to solving the most challenging cases in the field.

  • Institutional Excellence: Senior Consultant (Former & Present) at Apollo Hospitals, Manipal Hospital, and Fortis Healthcare.
  • Global Mentor & Trainer: I serve as a Visiting Professor to Government Medical Colleges across India and a lead surgical trainer globally, mentoring the next generation of ENT and Head & Neck specialists.

  • Pioneering Programs: I have spearheaded the establishment of world-class Cochlear Implant programs, bringing life-changing technology to new regions.

Global Expertise. Personal Impact. From treating common ear pain and sleep apnea to performing life-altering skull-base tumor removals and oral cancer surgeries, my approach remains the same. I combine the rigorous standards of the finest centers in India and the U.S. with a simple philosophy: You are never just a case. You deserve world-class precision, crystal-clear communication, and care that is genuinely personal.
