Patient Experience
My 82-year-old father had been struggling with severe hearing loss for years and became increasingly isolated. Dr. Purushothaman not only fitted him with the perfect hearing aids but took the time to teach him (and us) how to use them properly. His patience with elderly patients is remarkable, Dad now enjoys family gatherings again!
Our 5-year-old daughter had recurrent tonsillitis that affected her sleep and school performance. Dr. Purushothaman recommended a tonsillectomy and explained everything in such a child-friendly way that she wasn't even nervous. The surgery at SIMS Hospital went smoothly, and her recovery was faster than we expected. She's now full of energy!
I came to Dr. Purushothaman with a sudden, terrifying loss of hearing in one ear after a flight. He diagnosed me with barotrauma immediately and started treatment that same day. His calm demeanor during what felt like a crisis was incredibly reassuring. Within a week, my hearing was fully restored.
After years of chronic sinus issues and failed treatments elsewhere, I was skeptical. Dr. Purushothaman ordered detailed imaging, discovered a structural issue, and performed endoscopic sinus surgery. His precision and post-op care were outstanding, I can breathe freely for the first time in decades!
My teenage son had a persistent hoarse voice from vocal strain due to his band practices. Instead of just advising rest, Dr. Purushothaman taught him vocal hygiene exercises and worked with him on technique. The improvement was dramatic, and he even gave tips to protect his voice during performances.
I visited for a routine earwax removal, expecting a quick in-and-out appointment. Dr. Purushothaman noticed slight asymmetry in my eardrum and insisted on a precautionary scope, which caught a early-stage benign tumor. His attentiveness during a simple procedure might have saved my hearing long-term.
My mother needed a complex laryngectomy due to cancer. Dr. Purushothaman explained every step thoroughly, coordinated with oncologists, and even arranged speech therapy post-surgery. His holistic approach and compassion during such a difficult time made all the difference in her recovery journey.
I had a foreign object stuck deep in my nasal passage after a DIY accident. The ER referred me to Dr. Purushothaman, who removed it skillfully without any damage. What impressed me most was how he walked me through the process to keep me calm, it was over in minutes!
