Dr. Kamat changed my life. I have had sinus issues for 20 years and he is the 1st ENT in whom I was confident enough for surgery. Dr Kamat did my sinus surgery in February of 2023. The procedure was flawless, healing was without incident, and my recovery is exactly what he said it would be. Dr. Kamat is an expert surgeon/physician who demonstrates kindness, compassion, and empathy in every interaction. He is really special.
