Overview
Dr Chaitra Shankar is a Consultant ENT Specialist in Rajarajeshwari (RR) Nagar, Bengaluru, with over 9 years of experience. If you’re dealing with ear infections, sinus issues, allergies, or hearing problems, she takes the time to understand the problem and patiently explain the next steps clearly.
She holds an MBBS, a Diploma in Otorhinolaryngology (DLO), and a DNB in ENT from the National Board of Examinations – the DNB being a national board qualification assessed to the same rigorous standard as an MS degree. She won the Gold Medal among Surgical Diploma students at Sri Devaraj Urs Medical College. She won first place for a poster at the CANCON Head and Neck Conference in Bengaluru (2019) and has presented her work at ISOCON and ISRNP on topics such as mesotympanum anatomy and balloon frontal sinuplasty.
Her clinical practice covers ear and sinus surgeries, nasal allergies, tonsil and adenoid disorders, hearing and balance problems, voice and throat conditions, and endoscopic ENT procedures. Her particular areas of interest are ear surgeries and sinus surgeries – areas where she has both academic and hands-on clinical depth. If you’re dealing with recurring sinus headaches, a blocked nose, or frequent ear infections without clear answers-or bringing your child in for tonsil or adenoid concerns-she carefully evaluates the issue and explains what to do next.
At RxDx Clinics, Rajarajeshwari Nagar, Bengaluru, Dr Chaitra Shankar offers ENT consultations covering ear, nose, and throat conditions – with the emphasis on accurate diagnosis, clear guidance, and a treatment plan before any procedural decision is made.
