Otolaryngologists (commonly referred to as ENT physicians) are specialists trained in the medical and surgical diagnosis and treatment of patients with diseases and disorders of the ear, nose, throat (ENT), and related structures of the head and neck. These specialists are different from many physicians in that they are trained in both medicine and surgery.
An otolaryngologist will diagnose and treat diseases of the ears, nose, sinuses, larynx (voice box), mouth, and throat, as well as structures of the head and neck. There are various reasons why patients would want to see an otolaryngologist, but the most common are problems with hearing, earache or ear infection, or nasal congestion.
