Services
As an otolaryngologist with a focus on ear disorders, I bring extensive experience in diagnosing and treating a variety of conditions affecting the ear and related structures. My expertise encompasses both common and complex ear-related ailments, from general otolaryngological issues to specific, intricate disorders requiring specialized care.
Vertigo (Dizziness)
I diagnose and treat vertigo, focusing on balancing disorders that often stem from inner ear issues, using a combination of physical examination, hearing tests, and balance assessments.
Otitis Media (Middle Ear Infection)
My treatment approach for otitis media involves managing infections and inflammation in the middle ear, often requiring medication and, in chronic cases, possibly surgical intervention.
Tinnitus (Ringing in the Ears)
I address tinnitus by identifying underlying causes, which can range from noise-induced hearing loss to circulatory problems, and offering treatment options like sound therapy or medication.
Hearing Loss
My practice involves diagnosing the type and extent of hearing loss, whether it's sensorineural, conductive, or mixed, and providing solutions ranging from medical treatment to hearing aids or cochlear implants.
Congenital Ear Anomalies
I manage a range of congenital ear deformities, such as congenital cholesteatoma and preauricular sinus, which require precise diagnosis and often surgical intervention to prevent and treat infections, hearing loss, and other complications associated with these conditions.
General Otolaryngological Disorders
Alongside my specialization, I also diagnose and treat a wide range of general ENT conditions, such as sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, throat infections, and voice disorders, employing a variety of medical and surgical treatments tailored to each patient's specific needs.
