Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery
Sinus and nasal disorders (Rhinology)
Florida has so much natural wonder to explore. We want to help our patients get outdoors, be active and have adventures.
With chronic sinusitis so prevalent – affecting 35 million Americans we have the specialists to provide the care you need. At USF Health, our otolaryngologists are skilled at diagnosing and developing care plans for medical conditions of the nasal cavity and sinuses, including allergies, smell disorders, polyps, and nasal obstruction due to a deviated septum.
Our surgeons are trained in the latest in advanced technology
In addition to these diseases, our providers have advanced training in endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery. Without the use of conventional facial incisions, our surgeons can approach important structures such as the eyes, tear ducts, pituitary gland and brain, to perform delicate interventions. Cutting edge technologies, for example intraoperative computerized image guidance, are regularly used to help our providers achieve optimal results.
Excellence in academic medicine
As an academic medical center, our otolaryngologist team at USF Health embraces an interdisciplinary approach, enabling the collaboration of multiple providers (e.g. Otolaryngologists, Neurosurgeons, Interventional Radiologists, and Critical Care experts) to provide the highest patient care.
