Dr. Freije

Patient age: Any age

Otolaryngologists - head and neck surgeons - are commonly referred to as ENTs. They treat conditions of the ears, nose, throat, and related structures of the head and neck.

Ears - Dr. Freije is trained in both the medical and surgical treatment of hearing, ear infections, balance disorders, ear noise (tinnitus), nerve pain, and facial and cranial nerve disorders.

Nose - Care of the nasal cavity and sinuses is one of the primary skills of otolaryngologists. Management of the nasal area includes allergies and sense of smell. Otolaryngologists commonly treat problems with nasal obstruction as well as chronic sinus problems.

Throat - Communicating (speech and singing) and eating a meal all involve this vital area. Also specific to otolaryngologists is expertise in managing diseases of the larynx (voice box) and the upper aero-digestive tract or esophagus, including voice and swallowing disorders.

Head and Neck - This center of the body includes the important nerves that control sight, smell, hearing, and the face. In the head and neck area, otolaryngologists are trained to treat infectious diseases, both benign and malignant (cancerous) tumors of the mouth and throat. Tumors of the salivary glands and thyroid tumors are also managed by ear, nose, and throat surgeons.
