Dr. Lakshmy V Raj
Experience: | 3 years |
Education: | Netaji Subash Chandra Bose Medical College |
Academic degree: | MS (Master Of Surgrey) |
Area of specialization: | I am mainly focused on treating all those annoying ear, nose & throat issues that people usually ignore until they can't anymore. Things like persistent sinus infections, ringing ears that don’t stop, sore throats that keep coming back—I see that kinda stuff a lot. I work with head and neck infections too, which can get tricky real quick if u don’t catch them early.
I also do ear surgeries—sometimes minor, sometimes more complicated like tympanoplasties or mastoid stuff. Rhinology's another area I spend time with—nasal polyps, deviated septum, chronic rhinitis and all that mess. Every nose is diff btw, and one fix doesn't fit all.
Thyroid-related disorders are also part of my practice, esp when they overlap with ENT symptoms—like a swelling in the neck or that subtle pressure people feel and can’t explain well. It’s like... I try not to just treat parts in isolation. ENT is all connected anyway. I kinda like figuring it out as a full picture. |
Achievements: | I am someone who kinda makes it a point to stay in touch with what's evolving in ENT—I’ve attended both national-level and state-level ENT conferences over the years, and a bunch of IMA academicons too (some really good panels tbh, others less useful but still worth hearing). These events help me stay sharp... or atleast try to lol. I don’t go just for attendance sake—there's always that one topic or paper that shifts the way u look at routine cases. Worth it. |
I am an ENT surgeon—officially Otolaryngologist, but yeah that’s a mouthful sometimes. I did my MS in ENT, which was intense and a bit humbling too honestly. After that I went ahead with DNB in ENT, which kinda helped me refine everything I thought I already knew. Later, I completed MNAMS too. Each step felt like adding another layer to what I could offer patients. Right now, I’m based in Kerala and working here—it’s where most of my clinical practice happens these days. I deal with all things ear, nose, and throat—routine and not-so-routine. From chronic sinusitis and hearing loss to vocal cord stuff and ear surgeries, there’s a lot going on in this field that people usually don’t realise till something starts bothering them. I’m used to balancing OPD cases, emergencies, procedures—some days are calm and others go sideways real quick, but that’s part of the deal, right? My approach isn’t robotic. Like, I really believe in listening before treating. ENT symptoms can be tricky—like a small problem in one part can affect everything else, so you can’t always jump to conclusions just by looking at the reports. And sometimes you just gotta take a moment, step back, and rethink your plan if something doesn't add up. Not every case goes by textbook, not every patient reacts the same. Honestly, I’m still learning—ENT’s one of those fields where something new keeps showing up. I try to stay updated when I can, squeeze in some journal reading between surgeries or in the late hours. But at the core of it, I just want patients to feel seen, treated well, and to leave with more relief than worry. I don’t claim to have all the answers every time, but I do put in the work till we figure it out.
