Comprehensive Treatment

In addition to providing routine ENT care for otherwise healthy children, the department also treats very sick and chronically ill children requiring advanced comprehensive treatment available at the Children’s Hospital of Michigan. All physicians in the department are board certified and fellowship trained. The Division performs common procedures like tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy and the placement of ear tubes as well as more complex procedures. Our specialists regularly treat complicated patients with airway, trauma, sinus, head and neck and ear conditions. ENT specialists on staff at the Children's Hospital of Michigan provide the latest surgical and non-surgical care for a broad range of conditions affecting all children.

Many of these conditions can affect the quality of life of children and their families, and can impact a child’s performance in school and their ability to develop to their full potential. As part of their assessment, the ENT specialists will evaluate for additional concerns, such as allergies, asthma, and obstructive airway conditions. Comprehensive treatment is provided to minimize school and life disruption for kids.
