For allergic rhinitis - I had been suffering from Allergic Bronchitis (continuous sneezing) from last couple of years and had tried all lines of treatment including homeopathic treatment for 3 years. However each doctor would give the condition a different name and put me on medication which gave a short term relief but the problem re-occurred after some time. After trying almost all reputed hospitals, I consulted Dr Shashidhar who was the first one to NOT recommend a medicinal treatment but rather gave me Nasowash kit. Unbelievably this helped control my continuous sneezing due to nose blockage. Since then, every time I feel a slight blockage I use this method and my condition doesn't worsen and I have not taken any anti-allergic tablet in last 1 year.
For earwax- I suffer with excessive ear wax generation and often the ear wax would solidify and even with the regular use of Soliwax (other wax removal drops), the wax would not get cleared. Once this happens my hearing ability would get impacted. I visited Dr Shashidhar last week and he has able to remove the ear wax with minimal fuss.
I would also like to mention in the past , for a similar condition (with a different doctor) a had to go through a minor operation which involved general anesthesia to remove the ear wax so this time I was afraid to even consult the doctor for the same. However the finesse with which my ear wax was removed by Dr Shashidhar gave me a totally different experience.

Someone recommended Dr. Shashidhar to me and I have been under treatment by Dr. Shashidhar for past 6 months. In my first visit itself I was convinced that he is the one! ** ** * ************** patient and compassionate doctor that I come across after a long time. I instantly felt comfortable with him. I was a tricky patient but he was always calm and gave me good hearing. He never forced any surgery for my issue and was always ready to advice/help.
Finally after doing lot of alternate medicines like homeopathy, Ayurveda etc I was convinced that surgery was the only option to better my lifestyle. Even after 5 months of consultation and dilly dallying surgery, he was the same patient and compassionate doctor; so re-assuring. Finally we decided the surgery on 6th September 2016.
Surgery happened as scheduled and today is only second day post op. I was dreading excruciating pain in throat during and after surgery. **************** ** ***** ******** ***** I felt little or no pain during and post surgery thus far. I cannot thank God enough to have found Dr. Shashidhar.
I thank, Dr. Shashidhar from bottom of my heart. I highly recommend Dr. Shashidhar for any consultation for ENT issues and more so if you need surgery.
Another thing worth mentioning is that he will go out of his way to arrange things, if need be, not waiting for his assistants.
Much respect and kudos to you my dear Dr. Shashidhar.
You have almost given me a new lease of life.
For me Dr Shahsidhar is a envoy of god, who saved life of my daughter whose airway got damaged/collapse and had
subglottic stenosis of level 3 and was breathing with the help of tracheotomy tube from one and half year.
Why I am saying like this, because one and half year back, my daughter was suffering from Airway obstruction and was not able to breath properly
She got operated 2 times by one of the famous hospital in Lucknow and then we came to Delhi and again she got operated 4 times in MAX Hospital.
So From Lucknow to Delhi, the treatment took around one year and due to negligence of doctors *** ***** **** ** ********* *** ********
the simple case become complicated and its becomes a life threat disease.
So I lost my faith to doctors and have very much negative opinion towards all doctors.
Finally we lost our hope to GOD, we accepted that she can not be cure then somehow Dr Shashishar came into contact like a Rays of Hope.
He took this case as a challenge and treated her successfully and now she can breath natural without tracheotomy tube.
Me and My whole family are still not able to believe this, Its kind of miracle for us.
And We are always owe to Dr Shashidhar for giving a second life of my daughter.

Exceptionally talented, highly qualified and so humble, is what Dr. Shashidhar is. He is not only the best doctor ever, but is also a good human being. One can blindly follow his advise, as I did for my 5 yrs. old daughter on whom coblation adenoidectomy and bipolar tonsillectomy was performed by him. The positive results of the procedure are evident as my underweight daughter gained weight and health post the same. The entire team took such good care and my daughter healed so smoothly in a few days. Both my kids like him a lot as he is so friendly with kids. I wish him and the entire team health and happiness forever. Shaily Kadyan

I had taken an appointment for my husband at Artemis with Dr Shashidhar for some throat issue. After waiting for more than an hour doctor met us. I understand he is a busy man but he needs to understand and value other people time as well. He was in such a hurry and wasn't even gentle while putting his instrument in the throat and nose. He didn't even bother to see the previous Dr diagnosis or prescription and just mentioned few medicines to his junior Dr who gave us the prescription. We paid 1400 for this appointment and he didn't even have 2 min to make us understand the problem. All he wanted to see was next patient.
REALLY DISAPPOINTED!!!!

if I wish to explain the best possible way to describe the profession 'doctorate' , I would use Dr. Shashidhar as the best example. A number of things,- Not chasing the so called race of making mney and believes in curing the problem from root. - explain you the problem with sufficient time to each patient so you feel relaxed- prescribe only relevant tests.- gives medicine which are Affordable but did not compromise on quality as wellmy personal experience: I wanted him to examine me( patient attendant) asi had few tonsillitis symptoms, with no charge he examined and prescribed medicine as well.His way and approach of treatment is what I appreciate as well.In nutshell, you will feel relaxed, confident and in better condition as compared to when you enter inside his room. Cheers!!

Dr. Shashi Dhar has always been exceptional. Almost everyone in my family has started consulting him and has the same feeling as i do. He is a great human being, very courteous and tries to understand the whole scenario and then prescribe medication. Since i travel at times due to work and it gets difficult for me to meet him at times personally. He has always taken my call and replied to texts in the moment of need. I have also had a surgery of all my 3 problems from him in Artemis Hospital and found relief to my problem under his guidance and care. Highly recommended. Keep it up Dr. Shashi Dharn we need more like you. God bless!!
In the 3+ years I have known Dr. Shashidhar, I have nothing but praise for him. I had a case of subglotic stenosis, with a tracheostomy tube to aid in breathing, declared untreatable by doctors of a premium institute after fiddling around for 22 years with 40+ surgeries.
Meeting Dr. Shashidhar was by fate and a blessing for me and my family. After studying my case and consultations with his colleagues, recovery was possible. The glimmer of hope that he gave me after meeting him was more than enough to convince me, considering the extreme rarity of my condition.
3 years and 11 surgeries later I have never felt so much better in my life before. Being able to breathe freely now is like being born again. All the praise for Dr. Shashidhar falls short of what he has done for me. He is friendly, caring, to the point and a true team player. I have had nothing but positive experiences with him.
Thank You Dr. Shashidhar. God Bless
My daughter was premature child and since her birth had many issues associated with her ear nose and throat. I met Dr. Shashidhar during my stint in the legal deptt. at Medanta *** * **** ***** **** **** * **** ***** * ***** *** **** * ***** ***** Dr. Shashidhar knows his job very well and is very humble, patient with kids.
I thank, Dr. Shashidhar from the bottom of my heart. I highly recommend Dr. Shashidhar for any consultation for ENT issues and more so if you need surgery.

Big Thank you Doc :)
Visited For Ear Pain
Doctor was not at all considerate to give time to me even if i had waited for my turn for so long. When i met doctor he brought in his another collegue friend and started sharing their own talks. He then called up another friend on his phone and the patient negligence continues without having ettiquetes that someone is looking at your face and looking for your time in correct OPD hours and which is not a free consultation as i had spent 750 bucks and waiting well for my turn. His assitant had already noted down history of my case and was also waiting for doctors time like me. Then he brought in his past patient from africa inside the same room and started treating her with some side medicine tips to his assitant on my case with. In this time he was not at all considerate that i went for my worsen ear case and was looking for his attention. Worst ettiquetes seen in a doctor.
