Conditions We Treat
Recurrent Ear Infections (Otitis Media)
Chronic or frequent ear infections can interfere with hearing and development. We offer precise diagnosis and solutions like ear tube placement when indicated.
Tonsil & Adenoid Problems
Enlarged or infected tonsils and adenoids can cause snoring, difficulty breathing, and frequent throat infections. We provide thorough evaluations and, when necessary, safe surgical options including tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.
Pediatric Sinusitis
Children with chronic nasal congestion, post-nasal drip, or facial pain may suffer from sinus infections. We provide age-appropriate medical management and minimally invasive procedures if needed.
Sleep-Disordered Breathing & Snoring
Loud snoring, restlessness, or daytime fatigue may point to pediatric obstructive sleep apnea. Our ENT specialists identify the root cause and develop customized treatment plans to help your child sleep soundly.
Hearing Loss & Fluid in the Ears
Undiagnosed hearing loss can lead to speech delays and learning issues. We perform detailed evaluations and partner with audiologists for long-term hearing health.
Tongue Tie (Ankyloglossia)
A tight lingual frenulum can interfere with feeding, speech, or oral hygiene. We offer simple in-office procedures to improve function and comfort.
Nasal Obstruction & Nosebleeds
If your child experiences frequent nosebleeds or breathes through their mouth, we check for underlying structural issues and offer effective treatment options.
Voice or Speech Disorders
ENT-related conditions can affect a child’s ability to speak clearly. We evaluate voice quality and collaborate with speech-language pathologists as needed.
Personalized, Child-Friendly Care
We take time to explain diagnoses and treatment options in language that both children and parents can understand. Every child is different, so we customize care plans based on age, developmental stage, and individual health needs. Whether your child needs conservative medical treatment or a minor surgical procedure, our goal is to ensure safety, comfort, and long-term wellness.
