Welcome!

The Department of Otorhinolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery focuses clinically on the care of patients with complex diseases and disorders of the ears, nose and throat. The Department also sponsors an otolaryngology residency program as well as fellowships in rhinology and facial plastic surgery. In addition, physicians from the Department perform in clinical and basic science projects. In all endeavors, our ultimate goal is world class healthcare for our patients.

2011 Highlights

The year 2011 marked a great year for the Department in the domains of clinical care, education and research. In 2008, we established a new direction for the Department, and since then we have a built a full-spectrum otorhinolaryngology service with dedicated subspecialty expertise in audiology, facial plastic & reconstructive surgery, head & neck surgery, laryngology, otology, pediatric ENT, rhinology, and skull base surgery. Last year, the Department achieved a critical mass that was reflected in the Department’s clinical productivity, educational experiences and research output, and in 2011, that trend continued. Throughout this period, we have maintained our focus on the patient experience. For today’s patients, we strive to deliver quality, cost-effective care. In addition, we seek to develop the new knowledge that drives innovation while we share that knowledge with physicians, other healthcare professionals and the greater community.

In 2012, our mission will remain the same: we will provide clinical care, education and research as we strive to build the best healthcare experience in otorhinolaryngology.
