Ear & Balance Disorders
Otology & Neurotology

We take an interdisciplinary approach to evaluating each case.

A group of doctors from several disciplines will weigh in to determine the best treatment plan for you. This means your dedicated otologist (ear doctor) may collaborate with an audiologist (hearing loss and balance disorder specialist), speech-language pathologist, physical therapist (movement specialist), and pharmacist to listen to your concerns, assess symptoms and identify a diagnosis. Depending on the particular disease or disorder identified, other specialties may become involved, including neurotology, neurosurgery, interventional radiology, oncologists, and infectious disease specialists.

Our ENT physicians have received fellowship training, which is one to two years of additional training in a specific area beyond basic ENT residency. Because their practice is limited to their specialty, they have become highly skilled and offer unparalleled experience.

Just as we teach our residents and fellows how to provide excellent patient care, we teach patients about their diagnosis and treatment. Your team of MUSC Health specialists will discuss treatment options with you to determine the action plan for next steps.
