Treating Children From All Around the World

We are a center of excellence in the study and treatment of ear, nose and throat conditions. We investigate auditory development and function, as well as techniques for airway reconstruction and treating airway obstruction.

We treat children from all over the world, including Canada, the Middle East, Europe, South America, Australia, South Africa and Asia.

We are dedicated to providing comprehensive, compassionate and respectful care to every patient and family. Through the Family Resource Center, we provide information about diagnoses, conditions and treatments, and can work with you, your family and your child’s school to ensure the best possible outcome for your child and family.
