What is an
Otolaryngologist?
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,
