Shiva Daram, MD, is a board-certified and fellowship-trained otolaryngologist who sees pediatric patients ranging in age from infants to teenagers. He has expertise in ear infections, hearing loss, sleep apnea, sleep-disordered breathing, pediatric neck masses, pediatric thyroid disease, pediatric airway surgery, chronic sinus disease, vascular anomalies, speech and swallowing issues, and fetal-neonatal health.
He’s also an assistant professor in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology — Head & Neck Surgery at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston.
Daram values being a patient-focused provider and addressing pediatric patients’ needs and concerns directly. He strives to inform parents about the problems their child is having, how the problem developed, and all the potential treatment options available so they can make a treatment decision together. The extra time he takes to provide this kind of education puts his pediatric patients’ parents at ease and helps them trust him.
What sets Daram’s practice apart is the ability to provide complete and complex multidisciplinary care under one roof. With pediatric audiology, speech, imaging, and other medical and surgical subspecialties, combined with the backing of the world-class Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital to aid in treatment, surgeries, and postoperative care, his practice is uniquely positioned to provide comprehensive and efficient care to any child, regardless of how complex or simple their diagnosis may be.
Daram completed his otolaryngology-head and neck surgery training at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas in 2018, followed by a pediatric otolaryngology fellowship at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine/Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago in 2019. After his fellowship, he practiced at The University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston and Clear Lake, Texas for over three years.
Daram is dual board-certified in comprehensive otorhinolaryngology and pediatric otorhinolaryngology. His professional memberships include the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery where he serves on the Airway and Swallowing Committee and the Education and Sleep Committee.
Outside of work, Daram enjoys swimming, reading, traveling, and spending time with his two children.
