Choosing Your ENT Specialist
How do I choose which ENT doctor to consult?
For surgical or complex skull base concerns, Dr. Sathya Narayanan JD leads treatment. For ear, sinus, hearing, vertigo or voice-related concerns, Dr. B. Karthika is available. If your concern overlaps with dental or sinus-related tooth pain, Dr. Ashritha M.C is involved in your care. If you're unsure, our team will guide you when you call to book.
Do all three clinics have the same doctors available?
Doctor availability can vary by clinic and day. Call or WhatsApp the clinic nearest you to confirm which specialist is available before you visit.
Is Dr. Sathya Narayanan JD available for second opinions on complex cases?
Yes. As Royal Pearl's ENT, head & neck and skull base surgeon, Dr. Sathya Narayanan JD regularly reviews cases referred by other doctors or patients seeking a second opinion before major surgery.
Can I consult Dr. Ashritha for a purely dental concern, unrelated to ENT?
Yes. Dr. Ashritha M.C practices as a consultant endodontist and cosmetic dentist in her own right, including root canal therapy and smile designing, independent of any ENT-related overlap.
Do the doctors perform surgery at all three locations?
Consultations are available across all three clinics, though surgical procedures are typically scheduled at the location best equipped for that specific case. Our team will confirm this when you book.
How far in advance should I book with a specific doctor?
For general consultations, a few days' notice is usually enough. For a specific surgeon's availability — especially for complex surgical cases — call ahead to check their schedule before finalising a date.
Do the doctors treat both children and adults?
Yes, across the team. Let our staff know the patient's age when booking so your consultation is scheduled with a doctor experienced in that age group's ENT concerns.
Will I see the same doctor for follow-up visits?
Wherever possible, yes — continuity of care matters, especially post-surgery. We'll do our best to schedule your follow-up with the same doctor who treated you initially.
