About the specialty

What ear, nose & throat do

Ear, Nose & Throat are the clinicians patients see for care in their specialty area. Sinus, hearing, voice, and head-and-neck care. A visit typically starts with a focused history and physical exam, followed by any imaging or lab work needed to confirm a diagnosis, and ends with a treatment plan that combines lifestyle changes, medication, in-office procedures, and — when appropriate — referral to a sub-specialist. Most ear, nose & throat treat both new patients and long-term follow-ups.

How to choose ear, nose & throat

  • Confirm board certification through the relevant American Board of Medical Specialties member board.
  • Look for a sub-specialty focus that matches your condition rather than a generalist when the case is complex.
  • Ask about annual case volume for the specific procedure or condition you need care for.
  • Verify the practice is in-network with your insurance and works with an in-network hospital.
  • Prefer a clinician who explains options in plain language and doesn't push a single approach.
