Comprehensive Care, Close to Home
Hearing, speaking, smelling, swallowing, tasting, and breathing are functions many of us take for granted. But when they are impaired, quality of life can be significantly affected. In many cases, surgery is the best way to restore your health.
St. Joseph’s Health is a leader in evaluation, diagnosis and treatment for issues affecting your ear, nose, and throat, from common disorders such as tonsillitis, to complex head and neck cancers. Our board-certified otolaryngologists and head and neck surgeons provide exceptional, comprehensive care, from initial consultation and diagnosis through treatment and follow-up. We work closely with you to create a personalized treatment plan that fits your lifestyle and best meets your needs. Using the latest technology, our experts are highly skilled in open, minimally invasive, and robotic-assisted surgery. We prioritize minimally invasive techniques whenever possible, including advanced robotic procedures, for a faster, smoother recovery. We are leaders in transoral robotic surgery (TORS) which uses sophisticated technology to access hard-to-reach areas, such as the back of the throat. Our goal is to provide you with expert, personalized surgical care that gets you back to living your life to the fullest.
