The Rutgers Health Pediatric Otolaryngology - Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) practice focuses on disorders of the ear, nose, and throat in newborns, infants, and children. These disorders, in the pediatric population, are unique due to a child's head development and the location of structures that change as children grow. Our pediatric otolaryngologists have expertise in ear, nose, and throat issues in children, and they possess a unique understanding of how procedures can affect physical and mental development of our pediatric patients and their families.

Our program cares for newborns, infants, and children that have

• Airway and breathing disorders
• Ankyloglossia (tongue tie)
• Cleft lip
• Cleft palate
• Congenital malformations
• Craniofacial anomalies
• Ear disease (infections and cholesteatoma – destructive and expanding growths in the middle ear and/or mastoid bone)
• Foreign bodies that affect breathing
• Hearing loss
• Pediatric head and neck tumors
• Pediatric nose and sinus problems
• Speech and language disorders
• Tonsil and adenoid disease
• Velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI)

Physicians who serve the Rutgers Health Pediatric Otolaryngology - ENT practice are on the faculty of Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, a part of Rutgers University, one of the top research institutions in America.
