Otolaryngology, or ENT, means to manage and treat patients with conditions or diseases of the ear, nose and throat and other areas of the neck and head. Our ENT physicians and our ENT Physician Assistant diagnosis, manage and treat conditions related to the ear, nose, sinuses, larnyx, throat, mouth, neck and face.
Some of the most common conditions we treat include:
Ears
Conditions that impair ear function can be as minor as wax buildup or as serious as congenital deafness.
- Disorders of the hearing bones
- Congenital deformities (lop ear, pits )
- Cysts and tumors
- Skin cancers
- Ear wax
- External ear canal problems
- Hearing Loss
- Vertigo & balance disorders
- Ringing in ears (tinnitus)
- Fluid/recurrent infections
- Ear tubes
- Ear drum perforations
Throat
Maladies of the throat can be a mere nuisance or a major ordeal. Tonsillitis, voice disorders, and even hoarseness all interfere with our ability to communicate. Many of these conditions can be improved or corrected with the care of an ENT physician or head and neck surgeon.
- Recurrent sore throats
- Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy
- Swallowing problems
- Hoarseness
- Laryngitis
- Vocal nodules
- Voice Problems
- Throat cancer
Nose & Mouth
Congestion, allergic rhinitis, a deviated septum, and mouth sores are just a few of the varied health problems that occur in this region of the body.
- Nasal allergies
- Recurrent sinus infections
- Sinusitis
- Sinus Surgery
- Balloon Sinuplasty
- Nasal obstruction
- Nasal polyps
- Nosebleeds
- Cosmetic nasal surgery
- Deviated Septum
Head & Neck
Many surgical advances are being made in this area. Procedures such as tonsillectomy and facial plastic surgery are becoming less invasive, and new procedures are being developed to treat serious problems such as cleft palate, sleep apnea, and deafness.
- Skin tumors
- Treatment of thyroid and parathyroid tumors
- Diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea
- Treatment of upper airway obstruction
- Snoring
Cancer
Early detection is critical to preventing fatal outcomes. Cancers of the head and neck such as laryngeal cancer can be particularly aggressive. Signs of cancer of the head and neck include changes in the skin, pain, prolonged hoarseness, and sudden loss of voice. If you suffer from any of these symptoms you should see an ENT or head and neck physician immediately.
- Tumors of the mouth and voice box
- Tumors of the salivary glands
- Oral Cancer
Pediatric
Children face many of the same health problems that adults do, however symptoms may show themselves differently and treatment methods that work well in adults may not be appropriate for children.
- Ear Problems and Injuries, Age 11 and Younger
- Evaluating your child’s hearing

Upon consultation, an individualized treatment plan will be developed with you to meet your healthcare needs and your goal for your desired health outcome.
Aesthetics
Hello smooth forehead and goodbye wrinkly eyes! Botox® Cosmetic, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau® are great treatment options to treat and prevent fine lines, wrinkles, and deep facial furrows. Results last about 3-4 months.

Over time, natural fat begins to deteriorate, resulting in sagging skin, more prominent wrinkles, smaller lips, and a reduction of volume. Facial fillers provide a solution through facial injections. Juvéderm® and RHA products help eliminate wrinkles, plump and hydrate lips, minimize creases and folds of the face, and replace volume loss.
- RHA Fillers
- Juvéderm® Fillers
- Radiesse Fillers
Radiesse fillers work differently in that they stimulate your own natural collagen. In other words, it will not only make your skin look better, but will keep your skin wrinkle free for much longer than other methods. This product can be used in several locations to include smile lines, cheeks, marionette lines, corners of the mouth, chin wrinkles, the pre-jowl fold on the sides of your chin, back of hands, decollete, back of upper arm, above knee and buttocks.
Goodbye double chin and hello refined jawline! Kybella® is injected under the chin to permanently destroy fat cells and get rid of your double chin. Typically, 2-4 treatments are needed and results are visible in 30-90 days. Great news: those results are permanent!
- Kybella®
Belotero®, AKA “the airbrush,” is meant for the treatment of tiny lines; like those that develop around the mouth or chin. The primary difference between Belotero® and other fillers is its softness: the product is easily integrated into skin and also works well to restore fullness to facial planes and contours.
- Belotero®
Latisse® is an FDA-approved treatment to grow eyelashes for people with inadequate or not enough lashes.
