Not Every Case is Routine. That’s Where I Work.

A child who has never heard a sound. A tumour pressing on the brain. A voice suddenly gone. These are not routine ENT cases—they are lives at critical turning points.

I am an ENT Surgeon and Neurotologist trained in India and the United States, with over two decades of experience managing both common and highly complex conditions. My work focuses on precision-driven surgery, particularly in hearing restoration, skull base surgery, head & neck cancer, and revision ENT procedures.
