Why Chose to Consult an Otolaryngologist?
Because of their extensive knowledge of the disease processes of the head and neck, otolaryngologists are best qualified to diagnose and treat disease processes in this area. Proper examination of the ears, nose and throat requires the use of special skills and diagnostic equipment that are not commonly available to practitioners outside the field of otolaryngology. It is only through the application of these skills and technical equipment, including operating microscopes, special mirrors, telescopes, hearing and balance testing equipment, etc., that the otolaryngologist is able to properly diagnose the problem and make appropriate treatment recommendations.
