Tonsillectomy
Tonsillectomy: Breathe Easier, Sleep Better, Get Sick Less
Tonsils and adenoids are part of your body’s natural defense system, helping to detect and fight infections. But when they become chronically enlarged or infected, they can cause more harm than good—leading to frequent sore throats, difficulty breathing, restless sleep, and recurring ear or sinus infections.
Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy are common procedures used to help children and adults get lasting relief from these problems. Whether you're dealing with recurrent infections, sleep apnea symptoms, or chronic throat pain, our ENT specialists are here to guide you through diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.
Why Consider a Tonsillectomy?
Frequent sore throats or tonsillitis
Enlarged tonsils causing snoring or sleep apnea
FAQs about Tonsils
-
Tonsils are two soft tissue masses at the back of your throat; adenoids are located behind the nose. Both help filter bacteria and viruses—but can themselves become a source of infection or obstruction.
-
If you or your child experiences frequent infections, snoring, sleep issues, trouble swallowing, or swollen glands, it’s time for an ENT evaluation.
-
Mild pain, sore throat, or ear discomfort is common for a few days. Staying hydrated, following recovery instructions, and rest will help ensure a smooth recovery.

Expert Care for Thyroid Disorders
Your thyroid plays a critical role in regulating your body’s metabolism, energy levels, and hormone balance. But when it becomes enlarged, develops nodules, or shows signs of cancer, it may be time to consider a thyroidectomy—surgical removal of part or all of the thyroid gland.
Our specialists perform thyroid surgery with precision and care—protecting your voice, appearance, and overall health every step of the way.
Why Might You Need a Thyroidectomy?
Suspicious thyroid nodules or growths
Confirmed thyroid cancer
Enlarged thyroid (goiter) causing breathing or swallowing difficulty
Overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) that isn’t controlled by medication
Frequently Asked Questions
-
If your entire thyroid is removed, you'll need to take thyroid hormone replacement. If only part is removed, you may not need medication.
-
Voice changes are rare but possible. Your surgeon takes careful steps to protect the nerves that control your voice during the procedure.
-
Most patients go home the same day or after one night. Recovery includes rest, wound care, and avoiding strenuous activity for a short period. You’ll also have follow-up visits and possibly lab tests to monitor hormone levels.
When your thyroid becomes a health concern, you deserve expert care and clear answers.
Schedule a consultation today to learn if thyroidectomy is right for you.
Parathyroidectomy
Feel Like You Again
When your body’s calcium levels are out of balance, it may be due to overactive parathyroid glands—a condition known as hyperparathyroidism. This can lead to fatigue, bone loss, kidney stones, and memory issues. A parathyroidectomy, the surgical removal of one or more abnormal parathyroid glands, can correct the problem and help you feel like yourself again.
If high calcium is disrupting your health, parathyroidectomy could offer real relief. Schedule a consultation today and take the first step toward feeling better.
Parotidectomy
Safe Removal and Peace of Mind
The parotid glands, located just in front of the ears, are the largest of your salivary glands. When a mass or tumor develops—whether benign or malignant—a parotidectomy (surgical removal of part or all of the gland) may be necessary to protect your health and function.
Our surgeons carefully remove abnormal tissue while protecting nearby facial nerves that control movement and expression.
Why You Might Need a Parotidectomy
Benign tumors like pleomorphic adenomas or Warthin’s tumors
Malignant tumors requiring complete or partial gland removal
Chronic infection or inflammatory conditions of the gland
Painful or enlarging masses in front of or beneath the ear
Frequently Asked Questions
-
The facial nerve runs through the parotid gland, so protecting it is a top priority. Our surgeons use nerve monitoring and microsurgical techniques to minimize risk.
-
No. The majority of parotid tumors are benign, but a biopsy or surgery may be required to confirm diagnosis.
-
You may have a drain in place for a short time and a small scar near the jawline. Most patients go home the same day or after one night, with full return to activity in 1–2 weeks.at regulate your body’s calcium levels—not related to the thyroid’s hormone function.
If you’ve been told you have a parotid mass, early evaluation and expert care matter. Schedule a consultation today and let us guide you safely forward.
