EXCELLENT Based on 38 reviews Posted on Dean JonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A Decade of Exceptional ENT Care You Can Trust I’ve been getting treated by Dr. Anitha Kumari A M, ENT Specialist at Manipal Hospital, Old Airport Road, since 2015 and I can say with full confidence that she’s one of the best doctors I’ve ever come across. In 2017, I underwent surgery for a complicated submandibular abscess and cyst. Dr. Anitha handled it with outstanding precision and care. From pre-surgery preparation to post operative follow up, every step was managed with genuine concern for my well being. In 2025, I returned with a new concern in the same region a suspected ranula involving the submandibular and sublingual glands. Rather than immediately proceeding with surgery, Dr. Anitha recommended a conservative approach, instead of rushing into another surgical option, she recommended a conservative approach with medication and close monitoring carefully evaluating the risks, especially around nerve involvement and visible scarring. I have always felt genuinely heard and supported throughout my treatment journey with her. She explains everything clearly, listens with patience, and always prioritizes the patient’s long term well being. If you’re looking for an ENT specialist who brings together deep experience, sound clinical judgment, and a genuine commitment to patient well being, I highly recommend Dr. Anitha Kumari A M at Manipal Hospital.Posted on Narmadha AnbarasanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently consulted Dr. Anitha Kumari at Manipal Hospital, Whitefield, for our 4-year-old child's adenoid and tonsil surgery — and I must say, she is truly one of the best ENT specialists in Bangalore. From our very first visit, Dr. Anitha stood out for her clarity, compassion, and warmth. She patiently explained every step of the surgical process, reassured us at each stage, and made sure we felt fully informed and comfortable throughout. What truly sets her apart is her exceptional way with children. Her cheerful and friendly approach instantly put my child at ease — so much so that they became friends! This connection made the entire experience, both before and after surgery, smooth and stress-free for our little one. Dr. Anitha's deep expertise, caring nature, and genuine empathy make her a standout doctor. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking an experienced and child-friendly ENT specialist.Posted on gouri gopalakrishnanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a family, all of us are acquainted with Dr Anitha ma'am for over 10 yrs, consulting her for all our ENT issues. She miraculously diagnosed my Multi Nodular Goiter during a routine examination for a cold in 2023. As advised, we cautiously observed the condition for the next two years, with no medication. Recently, with a sudden increase in size, she advised a Total Thyroidectomy to avoid the possibility of malignancy and other further complications. Thus, in April 2025, I underwent surgery at Manipal Hospital, OAR. Dr. Anitha ma'am was reassuring and supportive of me throughout the process, patiently clarifying all my doubts, counseling my family members, and watching for post-operative developments. Post surgery, she prescribed medicines conservatively emphasizing mainly lifestyle modifications. Other than the minimal post-operative inconvenience, recovery was mostly uneventful. For helping us put a nightmare of 2 years behind us, I am very grateful to Dr Anitha and her efficient team (Dr Thomas, Anesthesia, nursing and surgical staff), Housekeeping and Administration, In patient and ENT Out Patient care at Manipal Old Airport Rd.Posted on Murugesh SelvarajuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Easily the best ENT specialist in town...We have been consulting Dr Anita Kumari for our 10 years old son who has had few issues such as ear pain and infection. The doctor is very friendly and approachable. She connects with the kids very well which makes it very easy for the kid and patient. My son had to get his adenoid and tonsils removed surgically and Dr Anita made it a breeze. My son was discharged in one day and the recovery was great. Doctor gave her personal number and was always available for any queries or concerns for few days after surgery. I will always recommend her name anytime there is a ENT issue...Posted on shreya sharanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The doctor is kind and knowledgeable. She takes time to listen to your concerns and addresses them one by one. I went there for my daughter and she was patient in treating her. She does not get irritated if you come with your research and ask her questions.Posted on Ignatius JrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Exceptional ENT Surgeon – Highly Recommended! I recently had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. Anitha Kumari, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for her expertise, professionalism, and care. From the very beginning, my experience was seamless and reassuring. Dr. Anitha Kumari first conducted a video conference for my initial assessment, which was incredibly convenient. Based on her thorough evaluation, I was able to plan my leave from work accordingly. She carefully outlined the entire process, and everything went exactly as she had planned and calculated. What truly stood out was her dedication to patient care. Understanding my time constraints, she even scheduled my surgery on a Sunday, which speaks volumes about her commitment to her patients. The surgery itself was a success, and I never felt any discomfort under her care. Dr. Anitha Kumari and her team ensured I was well taken care of before, during, and after the procedure. The procedures I underwent included: ✔ Septoplasty ✔ Turbinates Reduction (LENT) ✔ Septal Correction ✔ Palatal Reduction ✔ Tonsillectomy Even after surgery, Dr. Anitha Kumari followed up diligently, including through video calls, to monitor my recovery and ensure I was healing well. This level of post-operative care made a huge difference in my experience. I highly recommend Dr. Anitha Kumari to anyone in need of an expert ENT surgeon. Her professionalism, kindness, and skill are unmatched, and I am beyond happy with the results. If you’re looking for the best ENT specialist, look no further!Posted on Nimeelita KondavalasaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
