What our doctors say
Over many years of giving anaesthesia for Dr. Surendra Babu sir’s ENT surgeries, I have seen his surgical skill at first hand. He operates with precision and steady control, whether the case is routine or complex. His careful technique and close attention to every step make each operation safer for the patient.
Working beside Dr. Surendra Babu sir in theatre, I saw him operate with precision and calm. He personally performs every surgery, with close attention to safety throughout. His care for patients begins well before the operation and continues after it.
Dr. Surendra Babu sir’s surgical skill is clear in every case, from routine to complex ENT surgery. Just as important is his patient care: every patient is properly prepared and fully informed. Each one is monitored safely throughout the operation.
Training at Tirumala Hospitals gave me good clinical knowledge, hands-on experience in endoscopy for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, and a wide range of oto-rhino as well as laryngeal surgeries (microscopic and endoscopic), as well as airway and ear foreign body removals.
As a resident at Tirumala Hospitals, I learned in a busy ENT department where every day brought new cases and new skills. Dr. Surendra Babu sir explains each step in theatre, and watching his precise, confident surgery shaped how I approach my own work. His care for patients, from the first consultation to the last follow-up, is the example I carry with me.
Tirumala Hospitals gave me something every ENT trainee needs: a high volume of surgery and a teacher who explains every step. Dr. Surendra Babu sir’s surgical skill, especially in ear and endoscopic surgery, showed me what careful, precise operating looks like. He taught us by example that every patient deserves a clear explanation, safe surgery and attentive follow-up.
The sheer variety of surgical procedures I handled here gave me the confidence to step into independent practice with absolute clarity. I left Tirumala Hospitals not just with a degree qualification, but with a lifelong approach to surgical ethics and patient care.
Working alongside Dr. Surendra Babu sir as an ENT consultant, I saw a surgeon who brings the same skill and focus to every case, however routine or complex. His command of ear, nose and sinus surgery, especially endoscopic work, is the result of years of dedicated practice.
Working with Dr. Surendra Babu sir in the ENT department, I see how thorough examination and careful use of endoscopy lead to an accurate diagnosis and the right treatment. His skill in removing foreign bodies from the ear, nose and throat as quick, safe day-care procedures spares many patients, especially children, an unnecessary hospital stay. He explains each condition clearly and advises surgery only when it is truly needed, which builds patients’ trust from their very first visit.
I had the privilege of observing a wide variety of ENT cases with Dr. Surendra Babu sir, including cochlear implant, thyroid and parotid surgeries. Under his guidance, I also performed common ENT surgeries, which greatly strengthened my own surgical skills.
