The subspecialty of pediatric otolaryngology focuses on diseases of the ear, nose and throat in infants and children. This subspecialty has evolved from the general specialty of otolaryngology, to subspecialists who have received special fellowship training and have acquired additional skills necessary to provide specialized care to children with disorders in the head and neck region.
The Division of Pediatric Otolaryngology at the Medical College of Wisconsin is the largest group of fellowship-trained pediatric otolaryngologists in the State of Wisconsin. It also is the largest group of fellowship-trained pediatric otolaryngologists in Southeastern Wisconsin.
With the group size and its specialized training, the Division is able to offer clinical services and programs to patients at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin that are unique and geared toward the special concerns and needs of children. This includes a team of pediatric otolaryngology advanced practice nurse prescribers, nurses, speech pathologists, and audiologists.
Our practice provides the full-range of pediatric otolaryngology from the simplest to the most complex procedures. Special interests include otitis media; pediatric airway difficulties and laryngotracheal reconstruction; pediatric head and neck neoplasms and congenital malformations; and maxillofacial trauma.
