With around 8.6 million (86 lakh) people (2025 estimate, from the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate), Surat is number 8 among the 100 largest cities in this directory and sits in the Metro (5M+) size band. At the assumed growth of 3% a year, it would reach about 10.0 million by 2030, so demand for ENT specialists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Gujarat's 0.95 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 8,200 hospital beds in Surat, including about 410 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 180 hospitals (about 55 public and 120 private). That is about 1053 residents for every bed and around 46 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 18,000 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 11,000 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Surat, supported by around 19,000 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 Surat.
On health outcomes, Gujarat's infant mortality rate is 19 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 72.7 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 69% of hospital beds in Gujarat are private, so most people weigh private ENT specialists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 ENT specialist for Surat, and 5 other cities in Gujarat have their own ENT specialist page below.

Frequently asked questions: ENT Specialists in Surat
Who is the best ENT specialist in Surat?

How can I book an appointment with a ENT specialist in Surat?
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 Surat?
Fees depend on the doctor's experience, the type of facility and the tests or procedures involved, and we do not publish unverified prices.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.
