Ear, nose and throat

Monument Health’s otolaryngologists specialize in the diagnosis, treatment and surgical evaluation of ear, nose, throat, head and neck disorders. Whenever possible, we use minimally invasive, office-based treatments. However, when surgery is needed we offer a number of options, such as sinuplasty, septoplasty, rhinoplasty, thyroidectomy, parathyroidectomy, tympanoplasty and mastoidectomy.

 


We treat adults and children for conditions including:

  • Tumors or masses related to the head and neck
  • Sinus and allergic conditions
  • Thyroid and parathyroid disorders
  • Hearing and balance disorders
  • Snoring and sleep apnea
  • Salivary gland diseases
  • Nasal obstructions
  • Ear disorders including infections or perforations in adults and children
  • Speech and swallowing problems
  • Head and neck cancer
  • Facial trauma

Our specialties include:

Eustachian tube balloon dilation

For treatment of Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD). The surgeon uses a catheter to insert a small balloon through the patient’s nose and into the Eustachian tube. Once inflated, the balloon opens up a pathway for mucus and air to flow.
