What is Otolaryngology?
Otolaryngology (pronounced oh/toe/lair/in/goll/oh/jee) is one of the oldest medical specialties in the United States. Otolaryngologists are physicians trained in the medical and surgical management and treatment of patients with diseases and disorders of the ear, nose, throat (ENT), and related structures of the head and neck. They are commonly referred to as ENT physicians. Otolaryngologists diagnose, treat, and manage specialty-specific disorders in both children and adults.
