The Department of Pediatric Otolaryngology (also known as Ear, Nose, and Throat, or ENT) provides care for children with problems involving the ears, sinuses, oral cavity, airway, nose, throat, and neck, from the simple to the most complex. Our pediatric otolaryngologists also work closely with other specialists to provide a multidisciplinary team approach to evaluating and treating each patient.
