EENT/ENT
ENT physicians are trained to treat patients with disorders and diseases of the ears, nose, throat, and other structures of the neck and face. EENT physicians also specialize in further problems that may include the eyes.

Laparoscopic Surgery
The gold standard of surgery, surgeons trained in this surgical technique utilize short, narrow tubes (trochars) which are inserted into the abdomen through small (less than one centimeter) incisions. Through these trochars, long, narrow instruments are inserted. The surgeon uses these instruments to manipulate, cut, and sew tissue with accuracy. Remarkable and minimally invasive.
