Biography


Dr. Shetty grew up in New York and Michigan but quickly fell in love with the diverse culture and warm-hearted people of Texas, which he now proudly calls home.

He is ... well versed in all aspects of medical and surgical otolaryngology, including treatments for hearing loss, dizziness, tinnitus, chronic nasal drainage, nasal obstruction, post-nasal drip, sinusitis, allergies, voice and throat disorders, tonsil infections, head and neck cancers, thyroid and parathyroid gland disease, salivary gland conditions, facial cosmetic surgery, facial trauma, post-cancer facial reconstruction, airway and voice box surgery, and sleep apnea. He is also certified in the Inspire Implant procedure, an FDA-approved treatment for obstructive sleep apnea.

Dr. Shetty has dedicated many years to researching head and neck cancer treatment outcomes and tinnitus (“ear ringing”) at both Harvard University and MD Anderson Cancer Center. His work aims to improve patients’ lives on a global scale and has been featured in numerous peer-reviewed scientific publications. He is regularly invited to speak internationally as an expert on a variety of medical and research topics in the field.

Above all, Dr. Shetty is committed to building meaningful, long-term relationships with his patients. He believes in listening carefully, making decisions together, and tailoring treatment plans that align with each individual’s values, lifestyle, and goals. Whether seeking relief from chronic symptoms or exploring advanced surgical options, patients can trust Dr. Shetty to provide compassionate, personalized care every step of the way.

When he's not caring for patients, Dr. Shetty enjoys playing tennis, dabbling in pickleball, and spending time with family and friends. He’s also passionate about teaching and has received awards for his dedication to mentoring students and medical residents.

Overview of patient comments

Summary created using AI

Patients appreciate

Dr. Kunal Shetty receives consistently high praise from patients for his exceptional listening skills and the time he dedicates to each patient. Reviewers repeatedly emphasize that he takes time to thoroughly address all questions and concerns, making patients feel heard and comfortable. His professional demeanor, knowledge, and expertise are frequently highlighted, with patients noting his ability to clearly explain procedures and provide detailed information at every step. Many patients appreciate his personable, friendly nature and excellent bedside manner, describing him as down-to-earth, empathetic, and genuinely concerned about their problems. His thoroughness in examinations and his professional approach to care stand out as consistent strengths across the reviews.

Patients also share

The reviews identify minimal areas for improvement, with only a few concerns raised. One patient noted that wait times were longer than expected once in the office, and that Dr. Shetty left mid-procedure, though the work was ultimately completed well. A couple of reviewers mentioned that their visits were too brief to form a complete opinion about his care, suggesting that some initial appointments may feel rushed or limited in scope. These concerns appear to be isolated incidents rather than recurring patterns in the feedback.

Patient comments are gathered from our Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey and are displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
