Ear Treatments
Many children and some adults suffering from painful ear infections benefit from surgery.
Ear Tubes
In BM&T, or bilateral myringotomy and tubes, small plastic “tympanostomy” tubes are paced across ear drums to provide proper ventilation and help prevent infections. These tubes either fall out on their own over time or are surgically removed.
Nose and Sinus Treatments
If you’re experiencing symptoms like nasal congestion, headaches and facial pain, we offer several options for relieving them.
Sinusitus treatment
If sinusitis (inflammation of a nasal sinus) is the cause, initial treatment may include antibiotics, steroids and irrigation. In severe cases, surgery may be recommended for heavily blocked sinuses.
Balloon Sinuplasty
This minimally invasive, outpatient procedure uses a catheter to insert and inflate a tiny balloon, opening blocked paths so sinuses can drain properly.
Septoplasty/Turbinectomy
This nasal surgery is most often used to straighten a deviated septum, which causes nasal passages to become crooked and restrict breathing. It can dramatically improve breathing, and usually takes just an hour to perform.
Head, Neck, and Throat Treatments
We diagnosis and treat both common conditions and more complex diseases affecting the upper extremities
Sleep Apnea
We treat and help recognize symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea, which causes some patients to temporarily stop breathing while asleep. If the ensuing lack of oxygen continues, it can lead to serious cardiovascular issues.
Thyroidectomy
This type of surgery, which involves total or partial removal of the thyroid gland, is a common procedure used to help treat overactive thyroids, thyroid cancer and non-cancerous enlargements of the thyroid.
Parathyroidectomy
This outpatient surgery is used to remove swollen parathyroid glands. These glands create a hormone that helps control the body’s calcium level, but can become problematic if they enlarge and produce unhealthy amounts of the hormone.
Parotidectomy
If a mass develops on the parotid gland, the largest of the mouth’s salivary glands, it needs to be removed. Parotidectomy patients typically return home on the same day as the procedure.
Neck Mass Removal
If you have a lump or mass in your neck, having it evaluated is critical. Our doctors generally use high-tech imaging and biopsies to determine the nature of the mass and decide if treatment will be needed.
Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy
These are two common procedures, especially in children, to aid in the prevention of frequent sore throats and ear infections.
Pediatric ENT
From earaches to chronic congestion, a variety of ear, nose and throat disorders affect kids. We’re experienced at treating pediatric conditions such as tonsillitis, sinusitis and ear infections using the latest medical guidelines and techniques.
