Throat: Patients that have conditions or disorders that affect their throat, such as problems with swallowing or talking, polyps, or chronic tonsillitis, will see an ENT specialist.
There are other ENT conditions that affect the head, face, and neck. In these instances, an ENT specialist is specially trained to perform surgery on these areas to manage deformities, trauma, diseases, and tumors.
