About Dr. Chanchal Pal
Dr. Chanchal Pal is one of Delhi's most seasoned ENT specialists, with over 38 years of experience in Otorhinolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery. Based at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, she has spent decades helping patients recover from conditions that affect something as fundamental as hearing, breathing, and speaking — things most of us take for granted until they go wrong. Her reputation is built not on claims, but on a long career of thoughtful, patient-first care.
Dr. Pal's training reflects a genuine passion for her craft. Beyond her MBBS and MS in ENT and Head & Neck Surgery, she pursued advanced hands-on training with internationally recognised surgeons — including micro ear surgery workshops with Prof. Pheater and Prof. Shambough, and advanced endoscopic sinus surgery training with Prof. David Kanady and Prof. J. Regan Thomas. She also holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Hospital Administration from Manipal University, which gives her a broader understanding of how good healthcare systems work for patients. This combination of surgical depth and administrative insight is rare.
Patients and families often mention how Dr. Pal listens carefully before she acts. Whether someone comes in with persistent sinus trouble, unexplained hearing loss, a voice that hasn't been right for months, or a complex condition requiring surgery like cochlear implantation or FESS, she takes time to explain what is happening and what the options are — in plain language, in English or Hindi. That clarity makes a real difference, especially for patients travelling from abroad who are already navigating an unfamiliar healthcare system.
For international patients, choosing Dr. Pal at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital means access to a world-class facility alongside a clinician with nearly four decades of practical wisdom. GAF Healthcare works directly with her team to coordinate appointments, medical records, and travel logistics so that your focus stays where it should — on getting well.
