Question 4

Is Dr. Prashanth an ENT specialist for both children and adults?

Accepted Answer

Yes. He treats paediatric and adult patients — from newborn ear infections to complex adult sinus and voice conditions.

Question 5

What is coblation surgery and why is it better?

Accepted Answer

Coblation uses radiofrequency energy at low temperatures to dissolve tissue precisely. It results in far less pain, minimal bleeding and faster recovery than conventional cautery or cold-steel surgery.

Question 6

Do I need a referral to see an ENT specialist?

Accepted Answer

No referral is required in the UAE. You can book directly with Dr. Prashanth.

Question 7

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Accepted Answer

Please bring your Emirates ID, insurance card, and any previous audiograms, CT/MRI scans or prescriptions related to your ENT concern.

Question 8

How long does an ENT consultation usually take?

Accepted Answer

A first consultation with in-clinic endoscopy takes 30 to 45 minutes. Follow-up visits are usually 15 to 20 minutes.

Question 9

Is endoscopic sinus surgery painful?

Accepted Answer

Modern FESS is performed under general anaesthesia with no external cuts. Most patients report mild discomfort — comparable to a bad cold — for a few days, and full sinus healing typically takes 2–3 weeks.

Question 10

Can my child return to school after coblation adenoidectomy?

Accepted Answer

Most children return to school within 4–5 days. Full activity, including sports, resumes within a week.

Question 11

How is vertigo diagnosed and treated in-clinic?

Accepted Answer

A structured vestibular exam — including the Dix-Hallpike test — identifies the cause. BPPV is often resolved in the same visit using the Epley manoeuvre. Home exercises are provided for long-term stability.

Question 12

Can I see Dr. Prashanth for a simple cold, flu or cough?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. A large part of his day is everyday ENT care — cold, flu, cough, sore throat, blocked nose, earache, wax and allergies. You don't need a surgical problem to book an appointment.

Question 13

Do you do ear piercing at the clinic?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Ear-lobe piercing is performed by the doctor using a sterile, single-use system with hypoallergenic studs and topical numbing cream. Suitable for children and adults, with a written aftercare sheet.

Question 14

Do you do nose piercing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Nostril piercing is done in-clinic with a sterile, single-use piercing gun and an implant-grade titanium stud, with follow-up reviews at 4 and 8 weeks.

Question 15

My old piercing is red and painful — can you help?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Infected, bumpy or reactive piercings are a common ENT concern. In most cases the stud can be saved, the infection treated and the tissue calmed down without removing it.
