Otolaryngologists diagnose, treat, and handle specialty-specific ailments as well as many primary care problems in both children and adults.

ENT doctors are trained to manage tumors, diseases, trauma, and deformities of the head, neck, and face and can perform cosmetic and reconstructive surgery in these areas. They can also manage problems with the nerves in the head and neck that control sight, hearing, smelling, and facial movements.
