Our Practice

Head and Neck Surgeons are specialists who treat diseases of the ear, nose, throat, and related structures of the head and neck. Head and Neck Surgeons are also known as Otolaryngologists and ENT Surgeons.

Head and Neck surgeons are board certified on the area of otolaryngology, the study of conditions of the ear, nose and throat.  Board certification requires completion of an accredited five to six year residency training program and passing a written and oral examination.

The medical disorders treated by Head and Neck Surgeons are among the most common that afflict all Americans, young and old. They include chronic ear infection, sinusitis, hearing loss, allergies and hay fever, swallowing disorders, nosebleeds, hoarseness, dizziness, and head and neck cancer. Some Head and Neck Surgeons have special interests in ear, sinus, pediatric and facial cosmetic surgeries.

If you think you have a MEDICAL OR PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY or go to the nearest hospital. DO NOT attempt to access emergency care through this web site. An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
