Doctor: Dr. Aru Chhabra Handa Hospital: Medanta The Medicity

Our 7-year-old, Rohan, had these recurring ear infections that just wouldn't quit. We were so worried it might affect his hearing. Dr. Aru was amazing with him—she actually got down to his level, showed him the little camera on her phone, and let him 'drive' it into his own ear on the screen. He wasn't scared at all. She explained everything to us in simple terms, never rushed us, and her plan actually worked. Seeing him finally sleep through the night without pain was such a relief.

Doctor: Dr. Aru Chhabra Handa Hospital: Medanta The Medicity

My 82-year-old father was admitted for a complex sinus issue. Honestly, the whole family was anxious. Dr. Aru Handa made all the difference. After every procedure, she'd find me in the waiting area—even when I know she was crazy busy—and give me a clear, plain-English update. She didn't just talk to the nurses; she looked me in the eye and told me exactly what they did, what to expect next, and answered all my sister's frantic questions over the phone. That kind of direct communication took a huge weight off our shoulders.

Had a stubborn throat thing for weeks. Went to Dr. Aru Chhabra Handa at Medanta. She figured it out fast, fixed it. No fuss. Good doctor.

Doctor: Dr. Aru Chhabra Handa Hospital: Medanta The Medicity

Okay, so my story starts with this weird, constant ringing in my left ear. I'd tried a couple of local ENTs, got some drops, no change. By the time I booked with Dr. Handa, I was convinced it was something serious. The clinic was packed, I waited a bit longer than expected, but then she walks in and just has this calm energy. She listened to my whole rambling history, then did this thorough exam. The best part? She drew a simple diagram of the ear on her notepad, pointed to a tiny muscle, and said, 'We think it's this guy, having a spasm. It's annoying, not dangerous.' That visual just clicked. The treatment was straightforward, and the ringing's about 90% gone now. She just made it make sense.
