ENT

Our expert doctors offer patients surgical and non-surgical ways to help with diseases of the head and neck. Otolaryngology includes surgery for the head and neck as well as non-surgical care that focuses on the ears, nose and throat. It’s known as ENT for short.

Ear problems can affect hearing and balance. Hearing loss and recurring ear infections can be a problem in daily life. The best way to figure out problems of the ear is to use specialized instrumentation, including microscopy.Due to the size of the ear, treating ear disease usually requires specialized training. While ear wax can be a recurring annoyance, the chronically draining ear can be the first sign of more serious problems.Surgical and non-surgical care depends on the severity and nature of your problem. Along with our audiology department, the patient will understand all the ways to improve hearing, while maintaining safe and healthy ears.
