Taken together, the 19 Maharashtra cities with a page here have an estimated 54.2 million residents (about 542 lakh) in 2025. The largest are Mumbai (22.1 million), Pune (7.5 million) and Nagpur (3.2 million), followed by 16 smaller cities. Population figures come from the UN's 2024 urban-area estimates for the biggest cities and from scaled Census 2011 data for the rest.

Applying state-level hospital-bed ratios to these populations gives about 99,000 hospital beds, including some 5,000 ICU beds, in an estimated 1,400 hospitals (roughly 300 public and 1,100 private). Maharashtra averages 1.83 beds per 1,000 people against about 1.39 for India, and about 78% of its beds are private.

On the national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people, these cities would have about 67,000 doctors and 1,20,000 nurses and midwives across all systems of medicine. 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 Maharashtra.

Maharashtra has infant mortality of 13 per 1,000 live births (India: 24) and modelled life expectancy of about 74.5 years (India: about 72). This page lists 19 ENT specialists across these cities, and every city and sister city below has its own page with maps, qualifications to check and answers to common questions.

General information compiled from public sources (MoHFW, SRS 2024, CDDEP / One Health Trust, UN WPP 2024, Census 2011); estimates, not official counts, and not medical advice.

How to choose a ENT specialist

  1. Check the qualification: MBBS with MS (ENT), DLO or DNB (Otorhinolaryngology).
  2. Verify registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register and note the registration number.
  3. Ask how long the clinic has treated the condition you have, not just how long the doctor has practised.
  4. Read recent patient feedback on more than one platform, and be wary of identical glowing reviews.
  5. Check practical details: location, clinic hours, appointment system, and whether emergency back-up exists if something goes wrong.
Hearing tests and nasal endoscopy are quick, outpatient procedures and are often available at the same clinic.

Who is the best ENT specialist in Maharashtra?

Shortlist two or three ENT specialists, check their qualification and registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register, and compare facilities and communication. Dr Adip Shetty (Mumbai) is the first listing on this page - confirm details by phone.

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.

Can children see an ENT specialist?

Yes. Many ENT doctors treat children for recurrent ear infections, adenoid enlargement, tonsillitis and speech or hearing concerns. Mention the child's age when booking so the clinic can allot the right time.
