Ear, Nose, and Throat Medical conditions

The medical specialty of otolaryngology, also known as ENT, deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and management of ear, nose, and throat conditions. Otolaryngologists (also referred to as ENTs or ENT doctors), are physicians trained in the medical and surgical treatment and management of patients with diseases and disorders of the ear, nose, throat (ENT), and associated structures of the head and neck.

Dr. Geoffrey Smith pursued additional training in the following subspecialty areas: facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, head and neck surgery, laryngology (disorders of the throat), otology/neurotology (conditions of the ear), pediatric otolaryngology, and rhinology (conditions of the nose and sinuses).

Ears – Hearing, Balance, & Infection

Do you suffer from hearing loss? You’re not alone – nearly 50 million Americans do, including one in five teenagers. An otolaryngologist (ENT) may be able to help.

Nose – Allergies & Sinus Infections

Have you ever had a cold that just doesn’t seem to go away? There’s a pretty good chance that you actually have bacterial sinusitis, an infection of the sinus cavities.

Throat – Vocalizing & Swallowing

Disorders and conditions of the throat can affect the way you talk, sing, eat, swallow, and digest your food. ENT doctors can diagnose, treat, and manage these problems.
