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 what the consultation includes and whether tests, follow-ups and procedures are charged separately.
  4. Look for clear, itemised communication about costs; avoid anyone who guarantees a cure.
  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.
