Frequently Asked Questions.

  1. What is an Otorhinolaryngologist?
    An Otorhinolaryngologist, commonly known as an ENT specialist, is a medical doctor and surgeon who is highly trained in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders of the ear, nose, throat, and related structures of the head and neck.

  2. When should I see an ENT specialist?
    You should consider seeing an ENT specialist if you have chronic or recurring conditions such as sinus infections, ear infections, hearing loss, balance problems, a persistent sore throat or hoarseness, or sleep apnea.

  3. What is endoscopic sinus surgery?
    This is a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses a small, high-definition camera (an endoscope) to operate on the sinuses through the nostrils. This advanced approach avoids external incisions and typically leads to a much faster and more comfortable recovery.
