Frequently Asked Questions.

Do you treat children and adults?

Yes, pediatric ENT specialists manage infants through teens, while adult subspecialists handle complex sinus, voice, and cancer cases.

Is sinus surgery painful?

Endoscopic techniques minimize tissue disruption; most patients require only mild analgesia and resume work within a week.

When is a cochlear implant considered?

If hearing aids give < 60% sentence recognition, cochlear-implant candidacy evaluation is recommended.

Can snoring surgery cure sleep apnea?

Outcome depends on airway anatomy; our sleep-surgery pathway includes DISE evaluation to select the most effective procedure.
