Conditions We Treat

Acid Reflux

Acid reflux happens when the muscle at the bottom of the esophagus (tube that carries food to the stomach from the mouth), called the esophageal sphincter (LES), does not close properly and stomach acid leaks back into the esophagus. This can cause a burning sensation in the chest area. Acid reflux is caused by a number of things, including certain foods like citrus foods and onions, alcohol, and conditions like pregnancy and being overweight.

Cholesteatoma

A cholesteatoma is a skin growth that occurs in the middle ear behind the eardrum. This condition usually results from poor Eustachian tube function concurrent with middle ear infection (otitis media), but can also be present at birth. The condition is treatable, but can only be diagnosed by medical examination. Over time, untreated cholesteatoma can lead to bone erosion and spread of the ear infection to localized areas such as the inner ear and brain. If untreated, deafness, brain abscess, meningitis, and death can occur.

Ear Infection and Hearing Loss

Otitis media refers to inflammation of the middle ear. When an abrupt infection occurs, the condition is called "acute otitis media." Acute otitis media occurs when a cold, allergy, and the presence of bacteria or viruses lead to the accumulation of pus and mucus behind the eardrum, blocking the Eustachian tube. This can cause earache and fever.
