Head and Neck Surgical Oncology
When diagnosed very early, oral, head, and neck cancers can be treated successfully, which is why it is important for individuals to see a specialist if they experience symptoms like lumps and unexplained pain.
We take a team approach to cancer care. Surgeons, radiation oncologists, chemotherapy specialists, and nurses collaborate on multidisciplinary evaluations to devise treatment plans specifically tailored to particular needs. We work alongside our excellent radiotherapy department and the Bennett Cancer Center for chemotherapy where necessary.

Hearing-Related Treatment
Our team evaluates, treats, and diagnoses hearing-related disorders and hearing loss in both adults and in children. We work with you individually to determine the best course of treatment, and whether a hearing aid may be necessary.

Sleep Apnea Care
We work closely with our Center for Sleep Medicine to help deliver the best care to those with sleep apnea. This disorder is characterized by repetitive episodes of blockage of the throat that occur during sleep. Approximately three percent of children and more than 10 percent of adults have sleep-disordered breathing. The good news? Together, we can diagnose sleep apnea with an overnight sleep study.
