Pediatric Ear, Nose and Throat Care
Pediatric ear, nose and throat disorders are among the primary reasons for children’s doctor visits. At Merit Health River Oaks, we recognize the unique issues involved in treating children with ear, nose and throat conditions. The multidisciplinary pediatric care team includes ENT doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses, audiologists and speech-language pathologists (or speech therapists) who are focused on providing quality care while making children feel as comfortable as possible.
We utilize a range of treatments and techniques to treat illnesses that commonly affect children such as tonsillitis, sinusitis and ear infections. Professionals take the time to explain your child’s condition and the treatment plan to help ensure that parents are well-informed and children receive the care they need.
We treat a range of conditions, including:
- Allergies
- Breathing problems
- Ear infections, hearing loss and balance disorders
- Conditions requiring facial plastic and reconstructive surgery
- Nasal conditions such as sinusitis, nosebleeds and obstructions
- Sleep-related disorders, including night terrors
- Throat disorders such as adenoid problems, tonsillitis, sore throat, hoarseness, vocal cord conditions and swallowing problems
Merit Health River Oaks provides a variety of diagnostic and treatment services for children, including everything from allergy and auditory testing to minimally invasive surgical treatments.
