Otolaryngology is the oldest medical specialty in the United States. Otolaryngologists are physicians trained in the medical and surgical management and treatment of patients with diseases and disorders of the ear, nose, throat and related structures of the head and neck. Otolaryngologists differ from many physicians in that they are trained in both medicine and surgery. Otolaryngologists do not need to refer patients to other physicians when ear, nose, throat, or head/neck surgery is needed and, therefore, can offer the most appropriate care for each individual patient.

Another procedure you can easily find in Fort Pierce clinics, is the Otoplasty also known as cosmetic ear surgery, is a procedure to change the shape, position or size of the ears. An Otolaryngologist performs the procedure in order to set back a person's ear which is too prominent or misshapen. This procedure is normally performed on children, although it is not uncommon for adults to have this procedure.
