Head & Neck Surgery

Cancers of the Head and Neck - PCI otolaryngologists will help you on every step of your journey to recovery, from diagnosis to treatment. We offer the  most current treatment options available, and base each treatment plan on the individual needs of our patients.

Balloon Sinuplasty - Balloon sinuplasty is the leading treatment for sinusitis. Also known as balloon dilation, it is a surgery to widen blocked sinus passages without cutting or tissue removal. Ultimately, to determine  whether you are an appropriate candidate for balloon sinus dilation or other treatment options, an ENT physician must perform a medical examination and evaluation.

Ear Tubes - Otitis media means “inflammation of the middle ear,” as a result of a middle ear infection. It can occur in one or both ears. Otitis media is the most frequent diagnosis for children who visit physicians for illness. It is also the most common cause of hearing loss in children. Although otitis media is most common in young children, it occasionally affects adults. Frequent ear infections can be treated by inserting ear tubes.

Snoring - Snoring may be an indication of obstructed breathing and should not be taken lightly. An otolaryngologist can help you to determine where the anatomic source of your snoring may be and offer solutions.

Thyroid & Parathyroid Surgery - Today's thyroid and parathyroid surgeries are very safe, effective and relatively easy to recover from. If your endocrinologist determines that thyroid surgery is necessary, PCI ENT surgeons can perform minimally invasive procedures that cause less pain, allow easier recoveries and result in smaller incisions.
