Otolaryngology (Ear, Nose & Throat)

Conditions Treated

We evaluate and treats both common and uncommon ear, nose and throat conditions.

Airway Conditions

• Breathing problems in newborns and young children
• Laryngomalacia/noisy breathing
• Serious airway problems, such as airway narrowing requiring tracheostomies (For our tracheostomy brochure, click here: English/Spanish.)
• Airway narrowing requiring endoscopic or external airway reconstruction
• Stridor
• Subglottic stenosis
• Tracheal stenosis
• Tracheal malacia
• Complete tracheal rings
• Bronchomalacia
• Vascular rings resulting in airway obstruction

Congenital and Genetic Disorders

• Down syndrome
• Cleft lip and palate 
• Craniofacial abnormalities 
• Mucoviscidosis

Ear Conditions

• Hearing impairment  (congenital and acquired)
• Cochlear implants for hearing loss
• Recurrent and chronic ear infections
• Traumatic injuries of the external ear as well as the eardrum
• Ear congenital abnormalities (present at birth) including cup ear, lop ear, and the protruding ear
• Treatment of congenital aural atresi
• Cholesteatoma
