Dr. Sanjeev Mohanty — Senior Consultant and Head of Department of ENT & Head and Neck Surgery in Chennai

Dr. Sanjeev Mohanty is Senior Consultant and Head of the Department of ENT and Head and Neck Surgery at MGM Healthcare in Chennai, with more than 25 years of experience.

The ear accounts for most of his clinical list: cochlear implant surgery, chronic middle ear disease, mastoidectomy, otosclerosis and stapedectomy, hearing loss, chronic tinnitus, vertigo and acoustic neuroma. Stapes surgery and acoustic neuroma sit at the demanding end of otology, the first working on the smallest bone in the body and the second on the nerve between the ear and the brain. The nose accounts for chronic sinusitis, chronic rhinosinusitis with polyps, allergic rhinitis, septoplasty and sinus surgery, and the throat for tonsillitis, tonsillectomy, voice disorders and sleep apnea surgery.

His degrees were taken in Odisha. He read MBBS at SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack in 1992 and took his MS in ENT at MKCG Medical College and Hospital in Berhampur in 1997. Certification from the European Board of Otolaryngology followed in 2004 and fellowship of the International College of Surgeons in 2006.

His memberships each match a part of the list: the Cochlear Implant Group of India, the Indian Society of Otology, the Rhinology Society of India, the Laryngology and Voice Association of India, the Endo Skull Base Society of India and the Foundation of Head and Neck Oncology, alongside the Association of Otolaryngologists of India.

He held a national travel fellowship from the AOI in 1996, and took first prize at AOICON 2007 in Bhubaneshwar and at CIGICON 2017 in Visakhapatnam.
