Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery (ENT), Facial Plastic Surgery

Directions and Contact

Otolaryngology or ENT (ear, nose and throat) is the branch of medicine and surgery that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of ear, nose, throat, and head and neck disorders. 

When a potential abnormality in the ear, nose, head or neck is found, patients can be referred to a doctor at the Otolaryngology Head and Neck Clinic at St Josephs Hospital.  Here, patients undergo clinical assessment and participate in the development of a treatment plan with their care team.

What patients can expect

When a patient comes to the Otolaryngology Head and Neck Clinic, he or she will be registered and may be asked to fill out a questionnaire. A nurse will then review the questionnaire with the patient, who is then seen by the surgeon. Since St. Joseph’s is a teaching hospital, patients may also be seen by medical residents.

The Otolaryngology Head and Neck Clinic provides:

• Highly specialized clinical care
• Education and support
• Coordination of care, from diagnosis through surgery
