Dr. Veena Yagna

As a 72-year-old with chronic sinusitis, I've seen many ENTs over the decades. Dr. Yagna's approach was different,she spent 45 minutes mapping my entire medical history before suggesting a minimally invasive procedure. Her post-op care was exceptional; she even called personally to check on me twice after surgery.

Emergency tonsillectomy at 2 AM! My son's breathing had become dangerously labored. Dr. Yagna rushed to Manipal Hospital and performed the surgery with incredible calmness. What stood out was how she explained every step to us terrified parents in the waiting room while simultaneously directing her team with precision.

I went for what I thought was a routine hearing test and left with a life-changing diagnosis. Dr. Yagna detected early signs of acoustic neuroma that every other doctor had overlooked. Her thoroughness and immediate referral to oncology likely saved my hearing and possibly my life.

After my complex thyroid surgery left me with vocal cord paralysis, I thought I'd never speak normally again. Dr. Yagna's innovative vocal cord augmentation procedure gave me back my voice. She worked with speech therapists to create a customized rehabilitation plan that exceeded all expectations.

My 4-year-old daughter was terrified of doctors until we met Dr. Veena Yagna. She used a tiny flashlight shaped like a butterfly to examine her ears and spoke in such a gentle, playful way that my little one actually asked when we could visit again. She diagnosed a minor ear infection that others had missed and the treatment worked wonders.
