Otolaryngology

At Nemours, the department of Pediatric Otolaryngology evaluates and treats diseases or disorders of the ear, nose, and throat. This includes head, neck and communication problems, deafness, voice problems, and airway issues.

With the expertise of fellowship trained physicians, audiologists and speech pathologists, our team approach allows for rapid diagnosis and the most advanced techniques in the management of these childhood diseases. Nemours otolaryngologists are subspecialists, concentrating their care specifically on children or disorders of the ears in children. Nemours otolaryngologists use an integrated medical record that unifies patient care across specialties and locations, prompting otolaryngologists to consider best practices gained from Nemours experience and academic literature.

We provide excellent care that places the patient and family at the center, and our commitment to communication is central to the process. We strive to create a uniquely satisfying experience bringing peace of mind to patients and families. With our experts under one roof, comprehensive services and care are provided to every child, as if they were the only patient. This is the Nemours Way.
