Sudanthi Wijewickrema is an Otolaryngologist based in East Melbourne, working out of Level 5, 32 Gisborne Street, East Melbourne VIC 3002, Australia.
Otolaryngology is the ear, nose and throat (ENT) area. In day-to-day care, this can mean helping with problems that keep coming back or that just won’t settle. Many patients see an ENT specialist for things like ear pain or long-lasting ear infections, changes in hearing, ongoing sinus or nose blockages, and throat discomfort. Sometimes it’s about getting a clear plan so symptoms improve and life feels easier again.
Sudanthi also performs surgical procedures including mastoidectomy and osteotomy. These are usually considered when there are specific, ongoing issues in the ear area or around the bones of the face and jaw, and when non-surgical options don’t do enough. The exact approach depends on what’s going on and what the scans or tests show.
Over time, ENT care can be a bit of a mix. Some problems are short-term and settle with the right treatment. Other issues take longer, and they may need follow-up to make sure things are healing the way they should. Sudanthi’s focus is on practical care, clear next steps, and looking at the bigger picture rather than just treating one symptom at a time.
