Best ENT Specialist in Dhaka & Bangladesh

About ENT specialists in Bangladesh

An ENT specialist (otolaryngologist) treats diseases of the ear, nose, throat, sinuses, voice box and the head and neck. ENT doctors are both physicians and surgeons: they treat infections with medicine and perform operations such as tonsillectomy, sinus surgery and ear drum repair.

In Bangladesh, ENT specialists usually hold a DLO (Diploma in Laryngology and Otology), MS (ENT) or FCPS (ENT). Many also have training in head and neck surgery, including surgery for thyroid swellings and tumours of the mouth and throat.

How to choose the right ENT specialist

Qualifications: ENT specialists in Bangladesh usually hold DLO, MS (ENT), FCPS (ENT), FRCS (ENT). Each doctor's degrees are shown on their profile above.

Registration: every MBBS and BDS doctor must be registered with the Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council (BMDC). You can check a doctor's registration number on the BMDC website.

Hospital and chamber: a ENT specialist attached to a medical college or large hospital has easy access to tests and admission if you need them. For regular follow-up, a chamber close to home with convenient visiting hours often matters just as much.

Experience with your problem: many specialists have a special interest within their field. Read the designation and degrees on each profile, and ask at the first visit how often the doctor treats your condition.
