Otolaryngology
An otolaryngologist specializes
in surgery of the head and neck
and treats diseases of the face, head and neck, ear,
nose, paranasal sinuses and upper and lower breathing
and food passages. Typical
problems treated by an otolaryngologist include
tonsillectomies, hearing loss or dizziness, traumatic or
congenital defects of the face or neck, tumors in the
head and neck area, hay
fever and allergies. Cosmetic surgery of the
face, head and neck may also be performed by an otolaryngologist.
After earning an M.D. degree, an otolaryngologist must
spend five years in a residencyprogram.
