Dr. Andrew Thomas Kurian — Senior Consultant in Chennai

Dr. Andrew Thomas Kurian is a Senior Consultant in ENT at Gleneagles HealthCity Chennai, with more than 15 years of experience.

His clinical list is general ENT in the proper sense, with each of the three regions represented. Mastoidectomy, chronic middle ear disease and hearing loss cover the ear. Sinus surgery and septoplasty cover the nose. Tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, laryngeal surgery and voice disorders cover the throat. No entry on the list is subspecialised, which describes a surgeon who handles the full range of common ENT problems rather than one narrow field.

His degrees were taken at two well-established teaching colleges. He read MBBS at Christian Medical College in Ludhiana, qualifying in June 2009, and took his MS in ENT at Sri Ramachandra Medical College in Chennai in June 2017. The interval between the two is longer than the usual route.

His posts have all been in Chennai apart from the Ludhiana training. He has worked at Sri Ramachandra Medical College, at Bhaarath Medical College, at COSH and at Hindu Mission Hospital, before his current appointment at Gleneagles Health City in Perumbakkam.

For an international patient the useful summary is that this is a broad general ENT practice, trained at two established teaching hospitals and settled in one city, rather than a subspecialty referral one.
