Pediatric ENT Care
When a child’s ears, nose or throat do not work properly, simple tasks like eating, hearing and breathing become more difficult. We offer ear, nose and throat (ENT) care that’s tailored to your child’s needs.

Expert pediatric ear, nose and throat surgery
If other treatment methods don’t relieve your child’s symptoms, surgery could offer a solution. Our pediatric otolaryngologists specialize in the surgical treatment of complex and chronic conditions, including:.
- Sinusitis: Endoscopic (less-invasive) sinus surgery may improve chronic sinus symptoms due to pediatric upper airway disorders. These refined techniques also help reduce the pain your child will feel after surgery and the chance that their symptoms will come back.
- Breathing problems: We use the latest techniques in tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy and other surgeries to help your child breathe better.
- Neck tumors: We treat benign (noncancerous) and cancerous causes of masses that form near a child’s head or neck.
Most importantly, we recognize that our practice is in a location with state-of-the-art hospitals that provide excellent pediatric care for highly specialized cases and have developed a relationship with doctors at those facilities – we want the best care for all our patients and any patient who would benefit from a more intensive approach to their conditions are referred to those centers.
