I am a trained Ear, Nose, Throat (E.N.T.), and Head and Neck Surgeon with more than 16 years of experience in medical, clinical, surgical management and treatment of patients with diseases of the ear, nose, throat, and related structures of the head and neck. I am working at Shifa International Hospital as Senior Consultant ENT and Head & Neck Surgeon since 2001. I have credible experience of trea
ting all kinds of ear, nose, throat; head and neck diseases of adults and children. My special areas of interest & expertise include adult and pediatric/children (Ear Nose and Throat) Rhinology, Laryngology Ear/Otology/Neurotology, Head and Neck Cancerous and Noncancerous Tumors, Thyroid and Parathyroid, Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Allergy and Snoring Management. I have switched most of the conventional surgical procedures to minimally invasive FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery)
I am also an academician; known for my teaching commitments & standards for academic excellence among students in my capacity as Professor and Head of Otolaryngology E.N.T. This has also enabled me to develop a productive teacher-student bond that is not only inspirational in nature but also broadens & enhances the learning experience. The students learn about the developments that have taken place in the field of E.N.T through the academic text & then are engaged in various practical & research driven activities to expand their knowledge & experience from what they know to new discoveries & improved knowledge. The benefits are then passed on to the people in the form of quality health care extended through well trained and qualified health professionals. The benefits can be judged by the people seeking quality E.N.T health care from within Pakistan & abroad. Both teaching & clinical/surgical E.N.T. practice has also equipped me with the contemporary knowledge, skills and expertise required to respond effectively to the growing needs of patients. They may relate to simple E.N.T disorders or requiring sophisticated and most modern medical, diagnostic and surgical interventions for treatment of complex E.N.T diseases. My professional interest & strength lies in conducting clinical assessment/diagnosis with precision, performing surgical procedure/surgeries with utmost care, competence, & professional responsibility. Post-surgical attention & care is closely followed to ensure quick recovery of patients. My clinic at Shifa hospital is where:
patient’s questions & concerns are attended eagerly
detailed information on the causes & possible treatments of the problem is shared
pro-patient guidance, from preventive to surgical, in treatment selection is considered essential
patients are encouraged to maintain close contact when follow-up is considered necessary. Do drop in if you have any problem related to my area of expertise. Interests in Creativity
Though most people know me as a medical Professor, researcher, & physician or ENT surgeon, however, what they may not know is about my interests in creativity & diversity. This section is intended to reveal that part of me which takes me beyond my professional interests to another whole world of discovery & exploration through creativity & diversity. I draw inspiration from music. It is not limited to listening to good vocals. My interest in music has helped me in developing a good understanding of music systems, may it be a Hi-Fi music system or home theater entertainment. When it comes to musical instruments then I cannot resist playing some of them such as piano and appreciate the tunes of music & the accompanied joy of life. Somehow, it keeps me humble & close to fellow human beings. Since we are living in an age & time where computers have become an integral part of our daily lives, I found myself learning all about computers from hardware to software. Thing that has fascinated me the most is graphics & video editing. Trust me; it has vast scope for going beyond the ordinary to the extraordinary. All that you need is a good knowledge of how this machine works & how the software operates under your creative command. Still photography has also intrigued my creative instincts. It is not possible for me to travel without a camera around my neck or in my hand. It is simply because when travel takes me to some of the most spectacular & rare sites, I don’t want to leave them behind. My camera allows me to capture that moment exactly the way I like it & with all the memories associated with that moment. The secret to photographic perfection lies in the sound knowledge of cameras & diversity of experience. That’s why my photographs provide a wide range of collection ranging from capturing of nature to the portrait photography. Sometimes, I wonder if there is any link between what I do as an academician, physician, surgeon, researcher & what I do to satisfy my creative interests in life. The truth, perhaps, is embedded in the fact that no matter whatever I do either as medical professional or to satisfy my creative instincts, it actually brings me closer to humanity. It has taught me to see the life not only from a scientific mind but to explore it further with creative interests. Life is beautiful & I am happy to share it with persons having similar interests in human life & diversity around it.
