Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Clinic
Considered one of the best in the nation, UCSF's Pediatric Otolaryngology (ENT) Clinic provides comprehensive care for a variety of ear, nose, and throat disorders in children. Our specialists are experienced in diagnosing and treating young patients ranging from tiny newborns to teenagers, and are up-to-date on the latest and most effective treatments, both surgical and nonsurgical.
We provide care for conditions that include chronic tonsillitis and rhinosinusitis, ear infections, hearing loss, noncancerous and cancerous growths of the head and neck, and airway disorders that can affect speech and sleep. Our pediatric head and neck surgeons perform procedures to address sleep apnea in children, thyroid and parathyroid conditions, salivary gland issues and numerous other disorders. Their expertise also encompasses facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. Pediatric patients with hearing disorders receive advanced testing services from an audiologist, who also works with families on use of assistive listening devices and strategies to enhance communication.
