Dr. P. L. Dhingra

Dr. P. L. Dhingra is one of India's most experienced ENT specialists, with nearly five decades of clinical practice devoted to the full spectrum of ear, nose, and throat care. Based at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in New Delhi, he serves as Director Professor and Head of the ENT department — a role that reflects both his clinical standing and his long commitment to teaching the next generation of surgeons.

His academic journey — from his MBBS through a Diploma in Laryngology and Otology, a Master of Surgery, and membership of the National Academy of Medical Sciences — gave him a rigorous foundation across all areas of ENT. Over the course of his career he has built particular depth in ear surgery, endoscopic sinus procedures, voice and laryngeal conditions, and head and neck tumour care. Patients dealing with complex or long-standing problems — conditions that may not have responded well elsewhere — frequently find their way to his clinic.

What patients and their families often mention is how unhurried the consultation feels. Dr. Dhingra takes time to explain a diagnosis in plain language, walk through the options, and set realistic expectations before any decision is made. That straightforward, considered approach matters especially to international patients who may be navigating an unfamiliar healthcare system far from home.

For patients travelling from abroad, Indraprastha Apollo Hospital offers world-class infrastructure alongside experienced coordinators who can help manage appointments, reports, and follow-up. GAF Healthcare works directly with the hospital to make that journey as smooth as possible — from the first enquiry through to post-treatment care.
