Dr. Alok Banka Reviews

A 12-year-old competitive swimmer from an upper-middle-class family presented with recurrent ear infections and hearing difficulties.

The patient made a full recovery within 3 weeks and returned to competitive swimming with preventive strategies.

A 75-year-old retired school teacher with limited income presented with complete nasal obstruction and loss of smell for 6 months.

The patient regained normal breathing and smell sensation within a month, with no recurrence at 6-month follow-up.

A 32-year-old software engineer developed sudden unilateral hearing loss after a stressful project deadline. Dr. Banka initiated immediate intratympanic steroid injections within the critical 48-hour window, combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The patient recovered 85% of hearing within two weeks and complete recovery after one month, returning to work with stress management techniques.

A 5-year-old child from a rural background presented with a plastic toy piece lodged deep in the nasal passage for three days. Dr. Banka used innovative suction technique with specialized pediatric instruments to remove the foreign body without general anesthesia. The procedure took 8 minutes, and the child was discharged the same hour with no complications.

The patient experienced minimal pain, returned to classes within 4 days, and remained infection-free throughout the semester.

A 55-year-old chef with chronic sinusitis had failed multiple previous surgeries. Dr. Banka used 3D navigation-guided endoscopic surgery to address previously missed frontal sinus cells. The patient achieved complete resolution of symptoms and returned to working in spicy food environments without issues.

A 7-year-old autistic child with severe hearing impairment and communication challenges needed hearing assessment. Dr. Banka used play-based behavioral observation and objective hearing tests to diagnose conductive hearing loss from chronic effusion. He performed bilateral grommet insertion under controlled sedation, dramatically improving the child's responsiveness and communication within weeks.
