Diagnosis and Treatment
Symptoms such as a runny nose, sore throat, or plugged ears often mean you have a cold. But sometimes, they mean something more serious. The otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat, or ENT) doctors at Benefis can diagnose your symptoms and treat your condition. They have experience treating a wide range of ENT conditions.
You'll receive a personalized treatment plan to return you to health. Care and treatment for ear, nose, and throat conditions may include medication, surgery, or both.
Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery
If you have injuries, scarring, or abnormalities of the head and neck, your doctor may recommend using the latest reconstructive and cosmetic surgical techniques to correct the problem and improve function and appearance.
