World Class ENT & Laser Surgeon - Dr Paulose

I’ve spent over 30 years treating and healing patients from around the world. I’m highly indebted to God for His mercy and compassion, in giving me the strength to continue my life’s call.

A few years back, my son convinced me to share my knowledge and experience through drpaulose.com – and there’s been no turning back. Today, I’m happy to have this opportunity of expressing myself, sharing my knowledge and skills. Through this blog/website – I’ll be posting topics related to medicine, surgery, symptoms, preventive measures and occasional posts in my areas of interest – painting and Christianity.

If this is your first time, I’d suggest starting with the following articles:
