I have to have tonsils removed for my 5 year son.
Due to this he has to take Antibiotics/month,We are Frequent visitor to Emergency child Hamad Pediatrics -AlSaad, Is there a pediatrician or ENT specialist in Doha that anyone can recommend? Did anyone had thier childs tonsils removed here? If so how was your experience??? To be honest I am little freaked out about having this done here, so Iam really looking forward to hearing advice and experience of other parents.

ofcourse, flexicode, agree with you, when it comes to surgery, you cannot just take one opinion and go ahead with it.

Although the doctors mentioned by han 19 are of high reputation but i would suggest to have the surgery done in India. You may also take the opinion of Dr. Moopan in Al Rafa clinic opposite to Home centre. He is a good ENT. All the best

han19, when I suggested one the best paediatric nephrology surgeon in India to look at Qatar as his next career move and how he can lead a very relaxed life while making a lot of money, his answer was, "I don't want to lose the precision of my probe".

Honestly, I can understand the trauma of this father, as I have been at similar crossroad myself. As far as medications are concerned, it is absolutely fine to continue with the best ENT specialist available (two names you have suggested might be really good) but when it comes to matters as serious as surgery, well, you must know where to look.

Comeon flexicode, don't scare him, he's as it is worried about the son and the treatment.

Take an appt and see how comfortable you feel with the dr.

A surgical procedure here that too on a 5 yr old. Think twice. If it is not the skill or expertise, it has got to do with attitude. Moreover, this might be the first of its kind for the surgeon.

Dr. Thomas is a very good ENT doctor.

There is Dr. Ganesh at Hamad hospital, who is also very well known. He is available in the evenings, and you can try taking an evening clinic appt with him.
