A more in-depth overview of ENT's services is as follows.
The Ears - Hearing loss affects one in ten North Americans. We provide treatment of hearing, ear infections, balance disorders, ear noise (tinnitus), nerve pain, and facial and cranial nerve disorders. We also manage congenital (birth) disorders of the outer and inner ear.
The Nose - 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 areas of focus, as well as management of the nasal area including allergies and sense of smell. Breathing through, and the appearance of, the nose are also part of our expertise.
The Throat - Communicating (speech and singing) and eating a meal all involve this vital area. ENT has the expertise in managing diseases of the larynx (voice box) and the upper aero-digestive tract or esophagus, including voice and swallowing disorders.
The Head and Neck - This center of the body includes the nerves that control sight, smell, hearing, and the face. In the head and neck area, we are trained to treat infectious diseases, both benign and malignant (cancerous) tumors, facial trauma, and deformities of the face. They perform both cosmetic plastic and reconstructive surgery.
