Hearing loss affects one in ten North Americans. The unique domain of Otolaryngologists is the treatment of ear disorders. They are trained in both the medical and surgical treatment of hearing, ear infections, balance disorders, ear noise (tinnitus), nerve pain, and facial and cranial nerve disorders. Otolaryngologists also manage congenital (birth) disorders of the outer and inner ear.
About 35 million people develop chronic sinusitis each year, making it one of the most common health complaints in America. Care of the nasal cavity and sinuses is one of the primary skills of Otolaryngologists. Management of the nasal area includes allergies and sense of smell. Breathing through, and the appearance of, the nose are also part of Otolaryngologists' expertise. Nobody in the region has more training and experience in sinus surgery or nasal surgery.
Communicating, speech, singing and eating a meal all involve this vital area. Otolaryngologists have expertise in managing diseases of the larynx (voice box) and the upper aero-digestive tract or esophagus, including voice and swallowing disorders. Also, the diagnosis and treatment of reflux has become increasingly important in our specialty.
The area's specialists in total care of the ear, nose, throat, and sinuses.
Otolaryngology is the oldest medical specialty in the United States. Otolaryngologists are commonly referred to as ENT physicians. They can also be known as Head and Neck Surgeons, ENT Allergists, Facial Plastic Surgeons, or Sinus Specialists.
Our six ENT physicians, and a staff of over 30, possess the unique combination of training and experience to provide our patients with a diverse array of both medical and surgical treatments for both adult and pediatric ear, nose, and throat disorders.
Our comprehensive approach to specialty care gives us the advantage in being the "final consult" for most patients. We are able to offer our complex patients any and all necessary tests and treatments in a single location under the "common sense" care of a single board certified physician.
