Your priority is our priority.

When your child needs to see a specialist, you want to see someone right away — we understand. That’s why we get you in within a day. As a pediatric academic medical center, we offer the latest approaches and care for children with even most complex ear, nose and throat conditions. It’s comforting to know that your child can get the care they need in a single, convenient place.

Advanced expertise and convenience.

Children’s ENT conditions can affect many areas of their health and well-being. A child with a hearing problem may have difficulty in school, or a child with a sinus condition may have sleep problems.

When you come here, you get complete care. Our ENT doctors work with primary care doctors, lung specialists, digestive health specialists, sleep medicine experts, speech-language therapists, audiologists, child life specialists, and others to provide comprehensive care.

Also, ENT doctors are trained in surgery. That means you work with the same doctor if your child needs surgery — from tonsillectomy to complex facial surgery. For kids who need multiple procedures, our surgeons work together to do them at the same time, making it easier for kids and families. You can count on family-friendly, kid-focused care from a skilled, compassionate team.
