I believe in listening before I prescribe.
Every patient who walks into my clinic carries not just symptoms, but worry. My first job is to ease that worry — to explain clearly what's happening, what we'll do about it, and what to expect. I've found that when patients understand their condition, they heal better.
I trained in ENT surgery at Sundaram Medical Foundation, Chennai, and have since built my practice across multiple hospitals in Bengaluru. I treat everything from routine ear infections and allergies to complex sinus surgeries, head & neck conditions, and pediatric ENT problems. I'm particularly passionate about endoscopic techniques — they mean smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery for my patients.
I'd rather send you home with the right medication than rush you into a surgery you don't need. But when surgery is the answer, I want to be the surgeon you trust.
I also teach and mentor DNB residents at Apollo Hospitals, publish research in peer-reviewed journals, and stay active at national and international ENT conferences — because the day I stop learning is the day I stop being useful to my patients.

200+ reviews on Practo & Google. Here are a few.
She was the first ENT we visited in Bangalore for my wife and we were so scared. However, she was so polite and patient. She explained the issue clearly and suggested medications safe for our pregnancy, which our gynaecologist confirmed. In a situation where we were panicking about the health of our baby and my wife, she made us feel we were in safe hands.
When I faced frequent nasal bleeding, another doctor advised septoplasty. Being 70, I was worried. Dr. Krishna found it was just a small laceration, prescribed simple treatment, and within two days I was normal. She saved me from the knife.
My 2.5-year-old was wailing to even enter the room. But she was patient and tactful enough to distract him and diagnose the problem. Medicines worked quickly. Clear articulation of what to expect was helpful.
Visited for vertigo. She quickly asked the right questions, identified the issue, and immediately performed a procedure. The spinning sensations are gone. Highly recommend.
