\"I had an excellent experience at Trident Care who performed my sinus surgery. Dr. Santhosh made sure to explain the procedure in detail. My medical history and symptoms were reviewed and taken care during the Surgery.\n\nPost-surgery, Dr.Santhosh provided detailed care instructions and prescribed medications to manage pain and prevent infection. He scheduled regular follow-up appointments to monitor my recovery . The results of the surgery have been life-changing. I can breathe much easier, and my sinus infections have significantly reduced. I am extremely grateful for Dr. Santhosh expertise and care.\n\nThe facility is clean and well-organized. I am very thankful to the entire team of Trident care for their outstanding care and expertise. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of sinus surgery or ENT services.\
Visited For Common Ear problem
Hoped for better: Treatment satisfactionValue for moneyExplanation of the health issue
I have gone to this doctor for an ear infection.
I usually get these fungal infections due to water exposure to my ear since year 2015 and I've been visiting ENTs regarding this treatment.
Since i relocated to Thanisandra, i visited Dr Santhosh for ENT refering Practo as he was the closest available doctor.
I went to Dr. Santhosh for consultation and checkup and below are my experiences:
1. I have not visited any doctor so far in Bangalore, where the clinic staff asks to make payment before the doctor hear's your problem, does the diagnosis and asks for consultation fees.
2. ****** *** here first thing is you pay the consultation fees; your problems will be taken care after that.
3. Next, **** ** *** ** *** ******* Doctor has put on strong medication for a fungal infection; 5 medicines out of which 2 were strong antibiotic.
2. Due to double dosage, my ear dried up which had infection; on the contrary even my throat dried up and my throat got inflammation because of which i had trouble sleeping at the night and couldn't focus on work.
3. After 5 days --> Next follow up was there --> for ear cleaning and wax removal; the clinic charges 1400 Rs per ear and for both ears it's 2800 rs which is charged besides medication and consultation.
4. So in the second consultation the doctor has prescribed more medication and for throat inflammation a gargling solution is prescribed.
5. More medicines prescribed in clinic -** ******** ********** ** **** ****** ******** *** ********

Visited For Nasal and Sinus Allergy Care

Dr Santhosh Kumar is a compassionate human being, outstanding surgeon who treated my nose and sinus issues. I, got operated earlier with other two most experienced ENT surgeons, but didn’t get permanent relief. after visiting Dr Santhosh Kumar , his assurance gave me moral support and helped to take a decision of revision surgery and balloon sinuplasty. Now I’m relieved with head ache, sinus issues, ear block. Thanks to doctor and his team, one thing I understood that not to go with treatment where they offer for less price by non skilled surgeons instead look for specialist in that particular field and get treated by that surgeon and Dr Santhosh Kumar p is one among the gifted surgeons, who is rare.
The doctor was fine. He is friendly. My situation went like this - I was in the waiting area when his assistant wanted to check my bp and my weight. The assistant asked if I have any allergies and I informed him that I'm allergic to Penicillin. I guess the assistant didn't inform the doctor about it and I was given a penicillin based medication. ** ********* ** ******* *** ** ***** ****** *** ****** ***** ** ***** ** ** ****** **** * ***** *** ******* *** *** ******* ** ** *** ******* *** ***** **** * ******* ***** ** *********** **** *** *********** ** *** ******* Nothing upon the doctor, but my experience was really bad.

I would like to thank Dr Santhosh and his whole team. I had seen dr santhosh 3yrs ago for my snoring and nose block issue. He explained me about how to go ahead with other tests and it’s need for treatment including yoga and breathing exercises. But I ignored and took lightly and went for one more opinion with nearby other doctor and nasal spray was prescribed. I used it for 3 months and I was feeling good with that but after a year my symptoms worsened and I went back to dr santhosh and he listened to me very patiently and didn’t even speak single negative word about other dr who just gave me some spray and didn’t investigate me. After seeing the CT scan and sleep study he advised me surgery and medicines and diet and life style changes. This time I followed his words religiously and got operated year back and I am much much better and in constant follow up with him. Thanks to his motherly heart and kindness.
