I underwent surgery for deviated septum and sinus issues with Dr. Shailesh Pandey.
Before surgery, I struggled to breathe properly, especially at night, and suffered from severe headaches almost daily. It was affecting my sleep and daily life.
After surgery, the difference is huge. I can now breathe fully through my nose without any obstruction. My headaches are completely gone and I feel so much lighter and better overall.
Dr. Shailesh Pandey explained everything clearly and the care was excellent. Thank you so much for helping me get my life back to normal.

Summary
Dr Shailesh Pandey didn’t just solve my problem. He has given me a new lease of life.
My struggle
I had Septoplasty 10 years ago to address a deviated septum. The surgery failed to address my primary concern i.e severe breathing issues. My septum was still severely deviated right at opening of my nostril. When I went back to the surgeon who had performed the septoplasy about 5 years later, he refused to acknowledge that there was anything wrong with my nose.
A few experienced ENTs told me that I had to live with it and nothing could be done. I went to a few ENTs for consultation in Mumbai and abroad. My quality of life was atrocious because I couldn’t breathe and never felt rested even after having 10 to 12 hours of sleep.
First appointment with Dr Shailesh
I came across Prime ENT on practo in 2019. I had an online consultation with Dr Shailesh and managed to see him for my first consultation on 25 July 2022. Dr Shailesh was very patient and suggested that an innovative approach was needed to fix my nose i.e take some cartilage off the ear and put it in my nose. However, Dr Shailesh said that any solution during the first consultation would be a shot in the dark. To be super sure about the approach we would have to do a sleep endoscopy. Also, from my previous surgery My nose was packed with gauze for three days and I developed severe claustrophobia since then. Dr Shailesh explained the process to me and told me he’d be using splints not gauze.
The game Changer
I had sleep endoscopy on 27 July and It was a revelation in itself. Al l these years, my focus was on my nose. It was discovered that I had something called as the Kissing tonsils. Essentially, I had two blockages Nose and tonsils. My oxygen levels were very low and I gasped for oxyen in my sleep. My brain used to wake up every 20 odd minutes due to choking and I never fell into deep sleep all through the night.
Procedures performed
I had surgery at Prime ent on 2 August 2022. The following procedures were performed:
1. Revision Septorhinoplasty :
a. Straightening of the septum using the residual cartilage in my nose itself. There wasn’t any need to use the cartilage from the ear.
b. Elevating the tip of the nose to allow for better breathing
2. Laser Turbinate reduction
3. Laser Tonsils removal
Post Surgery
Splints removed on 6 August.
Stitches removed on 13 August.
My experience was super SMOOTH. I had a traumatising experience with my previous nasal surgery
Results
I can now breathe through my nose and get restful sleep. Lack of quality sleep had affected my quality of life for years. I cannot thank Dr Shailesh enough.
Mr Mahesh Kamtekar and Ms Deepali Bhatt
Mahesh took great care of me after the surgery. He was very helpful throughout the journey. From the first consultation till the time I was discharged post surgery
Deepali helped with the prep for my sleep Endoscopy and the surgery. I ot super claustrophobic once and went into over drive when a couple of bandaes were inserted into my nostrils before the sleep endoscopy. The drill was supposed to be the same before the surery I requested to take it easy with the insertion due to claustrophobia. They did not insert the bandages pre surgery. I understand the medicine helps open up the nasal passages .
Conclusion
All in all I would more than recommend Prime ENT and Dr Shailesh for any ENT issues. I came across PRIME ent through the internet ( practo) and its reviews. Apologies for this review being war and peace in size. I wanted to share my experience in detail to help others like me. If I were to do it all over again I certainly would.

A rare and excellent combination of surgical precision, patient-centred care, and holistic recovery: I had an excellent experience with Dr. Shailesh Pandey and his entire medical staff during my sinusitis FESS surgery and post-surgery care. From the very first consultation, the doctor took the time to clearly explain why surgery was necessary in my case, patiently addressing all my concerns and ensuring I was fully comfortable with the decision.
Throughout the process, the doctor was calm, reassuring, and extremely patient, always making sure I was at ease and on the same page. The surgery went smoothly, and the post-operative care has been equally impressive.
What truly stood out was the doctor’s holistic approach to recovery. Along with standard medical guidance, they incorporated ancient Indian practices such as jal-neti (sinus rinse, commonly known in the West), and strongly encouraged fitness and long-term lifestyle habits to prevent recurrence. Everything was explained clearly and practically, which gave us a lot of confidence.
The staff were equally caring, professional, and supportive throughout. I am currently in my post-surgery recovery phase and have been following all the recommendations for a few weeks now *** * **** ***** and recovered well.
I am very grateful for the quality of care and would highly recommend this doctor and team to anyone dealing with sinus issues.

I would also like to extend my sincere gratitude to his team—Mahesh, Vipra, and Deepa—for their consistent support and assistance throughout the process. During every post-surgery consultation, they have demonstrated professionalism, attentiveness, and a genuine willingness to help.
Thank you all once again for your excellent care and dedication.
