The state-of-the-art Otolaryngology (ears, nose and throat)/Head and Neck Surgery Program at Alvarado Hospital treats disorders of the ears, nose and throat, and includes the multidisciplinary subspecialty center for skull-base surgery. Our physicians specialize in more than a dozen areas including otology, neurotology (the study of complex ear and skull base disorders), surgery of the head and neck, nasal and sinus disorders, voice and swallowing problems, audiology, and upper airway obstruction.
Our specialists routinely handle cases such as infected ears, adenoidectomies, tonsillectomies, nose bleeds, sinus disease, snoring and sleep disorders, and breathing problems. Patients with vestibular balance disorders come to our program from all over the world to benefit from our advanced diagnostics, treatment and extensive experience.
Alvarado Hospital also offers one of the few highly specialized programs in the western United States for the comprehensive evaluation and treatment of skull-base disease. The skull-base surgery program is dedicated to the surgical, medical and rehabilitative management of difficult-to-reach lesions and diseases of the cranial base. The surgical methods and advanced imaging techniques used by our specialists may reduce or eliminate many complications previously associated with complex skull-base surgery, helping to preserve function, provide optimal reconstruction, rehabilitate and improve the patient's ultimate quality of life. Collectively and individually, Alvarado specialists offer considerable experience and sophistication.
