Welcome to Lahore ENT Specialist

If you have been searching for a trusted ear specialist in Lahore, an experienced sinus surgeon, or a compassionate child ENT specialist who listens as carefully as they diagnose — you have just found your answer.

I am Prof. Dr. Athar Adnan Uppal — a fellowship-trained Otolaryngologist (ENT) and Head & Neck Surgeon with over 20 years of surgical experience across some of Pakistan’s and Saudi Arabia’s most prestigious hospitals. Throughout my career — from the wards of Mayo Hospital, Lahore to the operating theatres of Al Hammadi Hospital, Riyadh — one principle has guided everything I do: every patient deserves the most precise diagnosis, the most effective treatment, and the most human care possible

Training, Qualifications & International Experience

My medical journey began at Quaid-e-Azam Medical College, Bahawalpur, one of Punjab’s most respected institutions. I then pursued advanced postgraduate residency and fellowship training at the iconic Mayo Hospital, Lahore — one of South Asia’s largest and busiest teaching hospitals — where I earned my FCPS (Fellowship of the College of Physicians & Surgeons Pakistan) in Otorhinolaryngology.

What sets my practice apart is not just Pakistani experience — I have worked and operated internationally. From 2015 to 2019, I served as ENT Consultant at Al Hammadi Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where I hold a valid registration with the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCHS) as an ENT Consultant. This international exposure refined my surgical techniques and broadened my approach to patient care significantly

My Surgical Specialties — Advanced ENT Care in Lahore

As one of Lahore’s most experienced ENT surgeons, I have dedicated decades of advanced training and hands-on surgical practice to four highly specialized areas. Every procedure I perform is guided by the latest evidence, the most precise technique, and a genuine commitment to getting you better. 

Endoscopic Sinus Surgery — Lahore’s Sinus Specialist

Chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, and blocked sinuses can rob you of your quality of life — making every breath feel like a struggle. As a trained endoscopic sinus surgeon in Lahore, I use minimally invasive, camera-guided surgery to open blocked sinuses and remove polyps with pinpoint accuracy and minimal recovery time. I trained in this technique under Prof. Renuka Bradoo in Mumbai, India, and have continued advanced training at King Fahd Hospital, Saudi Arabia and Tarabichi-Stammberger Ear and Sinus Institute, Dubai.

Endoscopic & Microscopic Ear Surgery — Lahore’s Ear Specialist

From eardrum perforations and chronic ear infections to hearing restoration procedures, I perform both endoscopic and microscopic ear surgery using the latest keyhole techniques. I have completed specialized cadaveric temporal bone dissection workshops at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Lahore Temporal Bone Lab, ensuring my surgical skills remain at an internationally competitive level. Whether your child has recurrent ear infections or you have been living with hearing loss for years — I can help.

Microlaryngeal Surgery — Voice Specialist in Lahore

Your voice is your identity. Vocal cord nodules, polyps, cysts, and chronic hoarseness can affect your personal and professional life profoundly. Using high-powered surgical microscopes and microlaryngeal instruments, I perform precise surgery of the voice box (larynx) to restore vocal quality — with careful preservation of your natural voice.

Head & Neck Surgery — Cancer & Complex Cases

I have extensive experience in head and neck cancer surgery, including thyroid surgery, neck dissections, salivary gland disorders, and free flap reconstruction — as evidenced by my published research on surgical outcomes in head and neck carcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma. If you or a family member has been diagnosed with a head or neck mass, early consultation with a specialist can make all the difference.

Child ENT Specialist — Paediatric ENT Lahore

Children need a different kind of care — gentle, reassuring, and thorough. I have a dedicated interest in paediatric ENT, including tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, tympanostomy (grommets), foreign body removal from ear, nose and throat, hearing assessment, and speech delay linked to hearing loss. As a published researcher on cochlear implants and hearing loss in children, I bring both surgical expertise and academic depth to every young patient I see.

Academic Leadership & Medical Education

Medicine, at its best, is passed from one generation to the next with care and rigour. I take this responsibility seriously. Since 2019, I have been serving as Professor and Head of the Department of Otolaryngology (ENT) / Head and Neck Surgery at Lahore Medical and Dental College, affiliated with Ghurki Trust Teaching Hospital one of Lahore’s largest and busiest teaching hospitals. In this role, I am not just treating patients. I am training the next generation of ENT surgeons in Pakistan supervising FCPS trainees, examining candidates for the College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan (CPSP), and serving as External Examiner for MS ENT at the University of Health Sciences, Lahore. I also serve as Clinical Advisor to the Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC) for ENT positions. This dual identity clinician and educator means my patients benefit from a doctor who is constantly engaged with the very latest in ENT medicine, research, and surgical technology.

Research Publications

I firmly believe that clinical excellence and academic inquiry go hand in hand. Over my career I have contributed peer-reviewed research to some of ENT’s most impactful areas — from sinus disease and hearing loss to head and neck cancer outcomes and paediatric cochlear implants. Selected publications include:

✦ Evaluation of Allergic Fungal Sinusitis Occurrence in Patients with Nasal Polyps
