An otolaryngologist - head and neck surgeon or ear nose and throat doctor is a specialist in treating all aspects of disease related to the head and neck. Otolaryngologist is a long word and difficult to remember so most people simply say ENT.

ENT doctors must complete a minimum of 5 years of extra training after medical school and pass a number of examinations in order to become certified by our board (The American Academy of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery). Once certified, an ENT's practice typically consists of medical and surgical care of adults and children in the areas of ear, nose, and throat disorders, allergy, head and neck cancer, facial plastic surgery, and sinus care and surgery.
