Expert pediatric ENT care
The Division of Pediatric Otolaryngology at Cohen Children’s offers comprehensive medical and surgical treatment for children with conditions related to the ear, nose, throat, or head and neck.

What we do

Pediatric otolaryngology, often referred to as pediatric ENT (ear, nose and throat), is the medical specialty concerned with diseases and disorders of the ears, nose, throat, head and neck, which are among some of the most common conditions affecting children. Pediatric otolaryngologists, or pediatric ENT specialists, are trained as medical doctors and as surgeons. The critical craniofacial areas treated by ENT specialists include the sinuses, larynx (voice box), esophagus, oral cavity and upper pharynx (mouth and throat) and related structures of the head and neck. Pediatric ENT specialists also manage and treat developmental disorders and birth defects of the head and neck.
