Pediatric Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialties and Services

Our pediatric ENT team has experience treating a variety of pediatric otolaryngological conditions. We have highly specialized expertise in several areas:

• Pediatric head and neck oncology: While the most common pediatric malignancy of the head and neck is lymphoma, our head and neck surgery team treats all potential oncologic lesions. We offer ultrasound-guided biopsies of suspicious thyroid lesions and advanced techniques in surgical management of these lesions. All oral cavity and salivary gland lesions are treated by physicians who have spent decades teaching others their techniques.
• Pediatric sinus: We offer the most technologically advanced facility for evaluating and managing all pediatric sinus disease. We work closely with the pediatric pulmonary team in treating cystic fibrosis patients. Advanced endoscopic image guidance techniques in surgical management of sinus disease minimizes risks. Many orbital and nasal masses, and most mid-facial lesions, can be approached endoscopically, thus avoiding cosmetically deforming surgical scars.
• Pediatric otology: Pediatric hearing loss can be a debilitating and frustrating issue for both the patient and family. We offer state-of-the-art hearing rehabilitation options, including bone anchored hearing aids that help numerous children with severe hearing problems to hear again. Our surgeons have significant experience diagnosing and treating cholesteatoma, a serious otologic infection.
• Pediatric airway: We perform advanced airway surgery to improve breathing, voice and swallowing dysfunction. Obstructive sleep apnea, stridor and severe respiratory distress are conditions we treat daily. For patients with tracheostomy tubes in place, we work with families to reconstruct the airway to eliminate the need for the tracheostomy tube when appropriate.
