Welcome
We take our senses for granted. That is, until we experience a loss of hearing, and we can’t listen to the sound of a loved one’s voice on the telephone. Or, until we get a stuffy nose, and we can’t breathe in the fresh breeze off the ocean. Or, until a worrisome sore throat makes it difficult to enjoy a favorite meal.

The physicians in the Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital understand how vitally important the ears, nose and throat are to the quality of your life. Our doctors are here to treat you and your family for a wide range of illnesses and conditions, including:

  • Allergy
  • Sinusitis
  • Balance disorders (such as Meniere’s Disease)
  • Thyroid problems (including thyroid cancer)
  • Facial plastic surgery
  • Cancers that affect the upper digestive tract, head, neck and face
  • Hearing loss

Our excellent physicians are trained in such sub-specialty areas as otology, reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, allergy, and head and neck surgery. They are backed by state-of-the-art equipment. In fact, members of our medical staff have played a key role in helping advance many of the techniques and tools used today in the treatment of disorders that affect the ears, nose and throat.
