WHAT IS AN OTOLARYNGOLOGIST?

Otolaryngologists are also known as Ear, Nose and Throat Specialists, but the specialty is far more comprehensive than many people realize. Tonsillectomy and ear tubes are most frequently associated with this specialty, as well as nasal and sinus surgery. Head and neck cancer, and injuries of the face and neck are also within the scope of the Otolaryngology. Surgery for correction of snoring, endoscopic sinus surgery and video endoscopic evaluation of voice and swallowing abnormalities are also available.


ALLERGY

Management of allergy problems are integral to the specialty of Otolaryngology. Seasonal hay fever and food allergy are diagnosed and treated with the latest techniques available. Patients with asthma, skin rashes and gastrointestinal problems are frequently evaluated and cared for in this office.
