Dr. Agnes Czibulka is an otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat) specialist in North Haven, CT, New Haven, CT, and Westbrook, CT.

"This was the worst experience I ever had with an appointment in a Dr’s office. DR Agnes Czbulka refused to see me and sent me away because I arrived 11 mins after my scheduled time slot for reasons of traffic and no parking. I pleaded with the staff at the front desk explaining my situation, telling them I took off work to be here at this appointment. I asked how much time was blocked off for me to visit with the Dr if I had time I wanted to use what was left of my time block. I pre registered online and filled out all the forms prior to arrival. She then left to check with the DR. She returned to inform me that the Dr would not see me and that she has a strict policy for arriving on time. I drove for 45 mins in traffic, took sick time from work as I am a teacher and should have had attest 20 mins left of my allotted time for the appointment as I was only 11 mins late and still no compassion and no flexibility. I will never return to Dr Agnes Czbulka nor will I recommend her. UPDATE: I just got billed from her office for 50.00 for a no-show fee for my appointment! Are you kidding me??? No way should I pay this, I did show up. "

What is Head and Neck Surgery?

Head and neck surgery is a subspecialty that provides advanced surgical care for the head, face, neck, and throat. Most head and neck surgeons begin their careers as otolaryngologists (ENTs) or plastic surgeons, but becoming certified as a head and neck surgeon requires additional training.

A surgeon who treats the head and neck has very specific considerations to take into account when operating. The delicate structures of the head and neck control our senses, our speech, our ability to chew and swallow food, and even our ability to breathe. A head and neck surgeon has to be careful to preserve the many functions of the head and neck when performing an operation. Also, when operating on or around the face, extreme care must be taken to leave as few scars as possible, since the face is a critical part of identity and social interaction. It all adds up to a tricky job.

Some of the issues a head and neck surgeon might treat include:

Cancer
Trauma to the face or neck
Thyroid disorders requiring surgery
Sinus surgery
Tonsillectomies / adenoidectomies
Cleft palate repair
Disorders of the larynx (voice box)

Cancers, especially of the esophagus, mouth, lips, and skin around the face or throat, are one of the most common issues requiring head or neck surgery. Most often, head and neck cancers are related to tobacco use. Chewing tobacco in particular affects the lips and mouth. Other risk factors for head and neck cancers include alcohol use and sun exposure.

Often after surgery, but particularly after the removal of a tumor, head and neck surgeons will perform reconstructive surgery, including microvascular surgery to connect or replace skin tissue. The goal is to restore not only a patient's function but also their appearance in this critical area of the body, improving self-esteem.
