Pediatric ear, nose and throat care
At Studer Family Children's Hospital Pediatric Ear, Nose & Throat in Pensacola, Florida, our pediatric otolaryngologists, also known as ear, nose and throat (ENT) doctors, deliver comprehensive care for children with head and neck airway disorders. We deliver advanced care for pediatric ENT conditions affecting your child’s ability to hear, smell, breathe through the nose and mouth, taste and swallow. For your family’s convenience, we offer onsite diagnostic testing for allergies and hearing problems.
Surgery is not always needed for ENT conditions. If surgery is recommended as part of your child’s care plan, our pediatric ENT doctors are surgical specialists. They specialize in performing many procedures, including cochlear hearing implantation, ear tubes for an ear infection and tonsillectomies.
