Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) AND ENT PLASTICS

What is ENT surgery?

ENT, or otolaryngology, is a specialty concerned with diagnosing and treating disorders and diseases of the head and neck regions. This includes illness or injury of the ear, nose, and throat. 

Common reasons for seeing an ENT surgeon at our clinic include:

  • Benign lumps/cysts/masses in the head and neck

  • Head and neck cancers

  • Thyroid/parathyroid disorders

  • Cosmetic head and neck scar revisions and mini-face lifts

I want to see an ENT surgeon. How can I make an appointment?

If you are interested in a cosmetic issue with our ENT surgeon, contact our clinic by emailing booking@unifyhealth.ca for more information to arrange a private consultation.

If you have general concerns regarding your head and neck health, your family doctor or nurse practitioner will need to send a referral to our clinic. ENT conditions which are seen and treated at our clinic are limited to: head and neck bumps/cysts/lumps, head and neck cancers, and thyroid/parathyroid disorders.

Is there a cost associated with any of the procedures performed at the clinic?

While there are surgical interventions covered by OHIP, most elective cosmetic procedures are not. Our team will be able to provide you with information about which procedures will be associated with a private fee and discuss financing options.
