The head and neck represent a synergy of orchestrated systems.

A complex network of nerves, bone, muscles and blood vessels support every piece of the whole.

The ENT specialty does not cover the eyes, brain or teeth, but since so many parts of the head and neck whole are linked, the staff works closely with specialists in other areas – ophthalmologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons and dentists and oral surgeons from both Mass. Eye and Ear and Massachusetts General Hospital.
As with any medical specialty, there is significant crossover between the subspecialties – for example, ENT oncology and thyroid cancer treatment; otology and audiology; plastic surgery and emergency ENT – and many other examples. A major advantage Mass. Eye and Ear brings to ENT is that our specialists and subspecialists work in close proximity – collaborating, investigating, sharing knowledge and developing new techniques.
