An ENT specialist, also known as an Otolaryngologist, diagnoses and treats conditions affecting the ears, nose, throat, sinuses, voice, and related head and neck structures. This includes (but is not limited to) hearing loss, sinus infections, allergies, tonsillitis, dizziness, voice disorders, and sleep-related breathing issues.

You should see an ENT specialist if you experience persistent ear, nose, or throat symptoms lasting more than two weeks, such as chronic sinus congestion, repeated ear infections, ongoing hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, or hearing problems.

Bring a list of symptoms, medications, previous treatments, and relevant medical history. Being specific about duration and triggers helps us make an accurate diagnosis more efficiently.

Frequent sinus infections may be caused by allergies, nasal polyps, a deviated septum, chronic inflammation, or immune system issues. As an ENT specialist I can determine the underlying cause and recommend targeted treatment rather than repeated antibiotics.

Hearing loss can be caused by aging, noise exposure, ear infections, earwax buildup, genetic factors, or damage to the inner ear. Our team can evaluate the type and severity of hearing loss to determine and discus appropriate treatment options.

Yes. ENT specialists evaluate lumps in the neck, thyroid, salivary glands, and throat to determine whether they are infections, benign growths, or require further investigation.

Absolutely. We commonly treat children with ear infections, tonsil issues, hearing problems, speech-related concerns, and nasal obstruction.

Nasal polyps are non-cancerous inflammatory growths in the nasal passages or sinuses. Treatment may include medication such as nasal sprays or oral therapy, and in some cases endoscopic surgery.

Skull base surgery involves the treatment of conditions affecting the area between the brain and the sinuses, nose, or ears, often using advanced endoscopic techniques performed through the nose.

Skull base surgery may be used to treat benign or malignant tumors, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, pituitary tumors, encephaloceles, and certain congenital abnormalities.

Recovery time varies, but most patients return to normal activities within 1–2 weeks after sinus surgery. Skull base surgery recovery depends on the condition treated but is often faster with endoscopic techniques.

Many conditions are first managed with medical therapy, including medications and lifestyle adjustments. Surgery is considered only when conservative treatment is unsuccessful.
