Otolaryngology (Head and Neck Surgery)
It’s not just ears, nose and throat anymore
St. Joseph Mercy Oakland (SJMO) continues to stay at the leading edge
of all medical practices by the expansion of our capacities in traditional
otolaryngology (ears, nose, and throat) to include the standard for advanced
treatment, Head and Neck Surgery. In addition to the traditional treatment
of Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) problems, such as a hoarseness, hearing loss,
vertigo, nosebleeds and sinusitis, SJMO otolaryngologist specialists
are trained to deal with problems that beset the entire head and neck
region, such as:
- Head and neck trauma.
- Tumors.
- Infections.
- Congenital abnormalities.
- The aging process.
Contemporary SJMO otolaryngologists treat or assist in the treatment of virtually all diseases that occur above the clavicle, with the exception of vision-related eye disorders. This includes everything from neurosurgery to stiff neck rehabilitative procedures and treatment of snoring and sleep disorders.
