With around 9.1 lakh (910,000) people (2025 estimate, from Census 2011 scaled forward with a growth factor, so treat it as approximate), Gorakhpur is number 77 among the 100 largest cities in this directory and sits in the Small (<1M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.2% a year, it would reach about 1.0 million by 2030, so demand for ENT specialists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Uttar Pradesh's 1.25 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 1,100 hospital beds in Gorakhpur, including about 57 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 69 hospitals (about 19 public and 50 private). That is about 800 residents for every bed and around 16 beds per hospital on average. Measured against the WHO's often-quoted benchmark of 3 beds per 1,000 people, the city would need roughly 1,600 more beds, which is one reason private clinics and hospitals carry so much of the load.
The same national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people suggests about 1,100 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Gorakhpur, supported by around 2,000 nurses and midwives. A ENT specialist is one of many specialities within that total. Specialist head-counts are not published city by city, so these figures show scale, not how many ENT specialists practise in Gorakhpur.
On health outcomes, Uttar Pradesh's infant mortality rate is 35 per 1,000 live births (2024), above the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 69.6 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 73% of hospital beds in Uttar Pradesh are private, so most people weigh private ENT specialists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 ENT specialist for Gorakhpur, and 14 other cities in Uttar Pradesh have their own ENT specialist page below.

Frequently asked questions: ENT Specialists in Gorakhpur
How do I find the best ENT specialist in Gorakhpur?
There is no single best doctor for everyone: the right choice depends on your condition, budget and location. A good approach is to shortlist two or three ENT specialists, check their qualification and registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register, and compare facilities and communication. On this page, Dr Arpit Srivastava (Cant Thana Gali, opposite DIG Bungalow, Bansgaon Colony, Kalepur, Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh 273001) is one listed option - confirm details by phone before you visit.
How can I book an appointment with a ENT specialist in Gorakhpur?
Call the clinic or hospital number shown on the listing, use WhatsApp where it is shown, or visit during outpatient hours. Ask about the consultation fee, whether an appointment is needed, and which documents or earlier reports to bring.
How much does a ENT specialist consultation cost in Gorakhpur?
Fees depend on the doctor's experience, the type of facility and the tests or procedures involved, and we do not publish unverified prices. Ask the clinic for the consultation fee and any follow-up charges when you call; government hospitals generally charge much less than private clinics.
Which hospitals in Gorakhpur offer ENT specialist services?
Well-known hospitals and institutions often named for Gorakhpur include AIIMS Gorakhpur and BRD Medical College, and the city also has many other hospitals and clinics. Each has its own outpatient timings and departments, so check availability for ENT specialist services directly before you go. This is general information, not a complete directory.
When should I see an ENT specialist in Gorakhpur?
Visit an ENT specialist for ear pain or discharge, reduced hearing, long-lasting sinus symptoms, recurring tonsillitis, persistent hoarseness, vertigo or loud snoring. Sudden hearing loss should be assessed within a day or two.
Is a hearing test painful?
No. Audiometry is non-invasive: you wear headphones and respond to tones. It usually takes 15-30 minutes, and the audiologist or ENT doctor explains the result right away.
Do sinus problems always need surgery?
No. Most sinusitis is managed with medicines, nasal rinses and treatment of allergies. Surgery is considered only when there is a structural problem such as a deviated septum or when long-term medical treatment fails.
How many hospital beds does Gorakhpur have?
