What is an ear, nose and throat surgeon?

An ear nose and throat (ENT) surgeon, also known as an otolaryngologist, is a medical specialist who deals with problems related to the ears, nose, and throat. They are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions that affect these areas and our team, Dr Himani Joshi and Dr Lauren Cooper, are experienced to help babies, children, and adolescents.

Nasal obstructions
