Our Story & Values

Our story

Padma ENT Care Centre was founded in the 1990s, when Rajarajeshwari Nagar was still outside Bengaluru's city limits. Our first clinic stood beside the RR Temple, serving a then-small community.

As the neighbourhood grew through the 2000s, we moved to a larger space at MS Complex to keep pace with our patients' needs. In 2024 we opened our current, purpose-built facility, bringing ENT surgery, audiometry and lab diagnostics together under one roof for the first time.

Through three decades and three locations, our approach hasn't changed: every patient is examined, diagnosed and treated personally by Dr. Adiga, with the same care whether it's a first visit or a twentieth.

Lead ENT Surgeon & Clinic Director

• MBBS, Vijayanagara Institute of Medical Sciences (VIMS), Ballari

• DLO (ENT), Bangalore Medical College (BMC), Bengaluru

• More than three decades of ENT practice in Rajarajeshwari Nagar

What we stand for

• Patient-first care – every decision starts with what's best for the patient, not what's fastest for us.

• Personal attention – you see the same doctor at every visit, who knows your history.

• Clear explanations – we take the time to explain what's wrong and why a treatment is recommended.

• Timely, quick service – we respect your time, from scheduling through treatment.

• A history of proven judgement – three decades of accurate diagnoses and sound treatment decisions.

• Consulting that leads somewhere – every consultation ends with a clear next step, not just a diagnosis.

• Care under one roof – consultation, audiology, blood tests, an in-house pharmacy and surgery in one place, so you aren't sent from clinic to clinic.

• A trusted specialist network – when a case needs expertise beyond ENT, we refer you to specialists we know and trust.

• Accessible to everyone – wheelchair-accessible entrance, parking and restroom, and care for patients of every age.

Through COVID

When big hospitals were overwhelmed, Padma ENT Care Centre stayed open and kept seeing patients in person, treating ENT cases here so fewer patients needed to go to hospitals that were already stretched thin.
