Ear, Nose and Throat

"Holy Family is a great community hospital that has the supporting staff and equipment to rival larger medical centers in my area of expertise. I deeply enjoy community medicine." -- Robert Cipro, M.D. Otorhinolaryngology Medical Executive Committee, Holy Family

ENT specialists at Holy Family provide comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic services covering otolaryngologic (ENT) and head and neck diseases for all age groups.

Services include comprehensive evaluations of patients with hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ear), and dizziness. We provide modern microsurgical and laser procedures for correctable deafness, and surgery for chronically infected ears. Our specialists facilitate dispensing of hearing aids and offer implantable sound processors for patients who cannot be fitted with conventional hearing aids.

We provide comprehensive sinus-allergy evaluation and treatment - including allergy testing, immunotherapy (allergy shots), medical treatment and endoscopic surgical treatment of chronic sinus disease.

Our specialists provide complete evaluation of throat problems such as hoarseness and swallowing difficulty by offering in-office fiber optic evaluation and the most advanced techniques for voice evaluation such as videostroboscopy.

We provide surgical treatment of throat and other head and neck cancers including thyroid and salivary gland cancers. Our surgeons perform minimally-invasive endoscopic techniques in cancer treatment such as video assisted endoscopic thyroidectomy and laser surgery for throat cancer.

Complete upper airway evaluation is available for patients with snoring and sleep apnea to help determine the best treatment. We offer in-office treatments of snoring such as somnoplasty and pillar implants.

For the removal of tonsils and adenoids, we offer the latest techniques of coblation surgery, which reduces the pain and shortens the recovery time.
