Ear, Nose and Throat Program

Our Pediatric Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Program, also known as the Otolaryngology Program, provides specialized medical and surgical care to infants, children and teens who have problems with their ears, noses or throats. We have more than a dozen board-certified specialists who provide comprehensive pediatric ENT care at multiple locations.

Quality, coordinated care

Our pediatric ENT specialists work with your family’s primary doctor to coordinate care and manage any complex needs to help ensure the best long-term treatment results. Our physicians participate and lead in many specialized multi-disciplinary programs at Children’s Wisconsin. These range from the Aerodigestive Center to the Hearing Loss Program

Our ENT doctors and support team firmly believe in quality care. We are constantly reviewing our practices in the medical and surgical care for children.
