subject: Areas An ENT Doctor Specializes In [print this page] An ENT doctor can have a flourishing practice in New York because of the prevalence of illnesses involving the ear, nose, throat, head, and neck. The ENT doctor in New York will always have patients, challenges in diagnoses, and the development of an effective and efficient treatment protocol. Ear, nose, and throat dysfunction is consistent with and inherent in the climate, humidity, abundance of pollen, allergens, and the exponentially increasing population of children and older adults. Three of the specialties from which an ENT doctor can choose include, but are not limited to, facial plastic and reconstruction surgery, laryngology, and pediatric ENT specialties.
ENT doctors are otolaryngologists who treat illnesses, diseases, dysfunction, and inconsistencies related to the ear, nose, throat, head, and neck. Practicing otolaryngologists and ENT doctors in New York will find this facet of medicine to be one of the most exciting, challenging, and competitive specialties in medicine.
These physicians must matriculate an additional five years: one in surgical training, and four in otolaryngology studies in order to become a certified ENT doctor. Specialization in laryngological issues, facial and reconstructive surgery, or pediatric otolaryngology requires additional studies that usually include an internship under a senior ENT doctor to become certified in the specialty.
Facial cosmetic and reconstruction specialization requires an additional one-year of study in a fellowship for otolaryngologists who want to specialize in aesthetic reconstruction of the face and neck. They perform rhinoplasty and repair a deviated septum (septoplasty, rhytidectomies or facelifts, genioplasties). Otolaryngologists repair trauma to the face and head, perform otoplasties, and repair clef palates.
The laryngologist can treat vocal cord abnormalities and irregularities such as nodules, polyps, carcinomas, Reinke's edema, spasmodia dysphonia, and is proficient in vocology, which is the "science of vocal habilitation."
Pediatric ENT doctors treat environmental allergies in children, resolve obstructive sleep apnea issues, perform laryngotracheal reconstruction, treat sinusitis, perform tonsillectomies, adenoidectomies, and perform decannulation.
Unequivocally, there are more patients than ENT doctors in New York, which means the ENT doctor can have a lucrative and successful career.
