Dr. Abhinav Kiran holds a formal Certification Course in Migraine Diagnosis and Treatment alongside his MS Otorhinolaryngology. Few ENTs in Hyderabad train specifically in migraine evaluation. For patients with sinus-triggered or inner-ear-related migraine symptoms, this combined ENT + migraine expertise is genuinely rare.
Monday to Saturday, 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM
Evening slot suits working professionals, school/college patients, and post-office consultations. Slot is 1 hour long so advance booking is strongly recommended. For morning ENT OPD or complex head-neck surgery needs, Dr. Chava Anjaneyulu (Senior ENT, AIIMS and NIMS trained, 35+ years) is also available at Vivekananda.
Evening ENT OPD for common ear, nose, throat and migraine concerns
Dr. Abhinav Kiran is a Visiting Consultant ENT Specialist at Vivekananda Hospital, Begumpet. He holds an MBBS and MS Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) with an additional Certification Course in Migraine Diagnosis and Treatment. With 10+ years of ENT specialist practice, his OPD at Vivekananda focuses on common ear, nose and throat conditions, standard sinus and ear surgeries, and ENT-related migraine evaluation.
His evening OPD (5:30 PM - 6:30 PM) is structured for working professionals, students, and patients who cannot attend morning OPD. Common presentations include ear pain, hearing concerns, wax removal, chronic sinusitis, nasal obstruction, allergic rhinitis, recurrent tonsillitis in adults, sleep-related snoring, and voice changes. Most of these are managed in OPD with medical therapy, diagnostic investigations, or scheduled day-care procedures where needed.
The migraine certification differentiates his practice. ENT-related migraine is an under-recognised sub-category of headache disorders. Sinogenic migraine (triggered by sinus pathology), vestibular migraine (inner-ear related), and migraine associated with temporomandibular joint dysfunction often get misdiagnosed. A structured ENT-migraine workup looks for these specific triggers alongside standard neurological assessment. Patients with persistent headache and ENT symptoms benefit from this combined evaluation.
For complex head-neck surgery, thyroidectomy, and head-neck malignancy cases, the senior ENT at Vivekananda is Dr. Chava Anjaneyulu, AIIMS and NIMS trained with over 35 years of experience. This dual ENT availability at the hospital means patients get routine ENT care during evening hours from Dr. Abhinav Kiran, and complex head-neck surgery when needed from the senior ENT team.
A lot of ENT problems don't need surgery. They need an accurate diagnosis, the right medication or simple procedure, and time for healing. When surgery is genuinely required, the decision should come after trying conservative management that has a fair chance of working. That's the approach I take with every patient.
