"I can't believe this happened in my first time visit at the office after we moved from North Carolina to Virginia. We finally found doctor O'Reilly for my child ear doctor follow up. The office is near my house and over to my insurance because she is accept new patient.This time we are checking my child up after school. After we saw the doctor, we went to check out and I had to fill the form for my child's record transfer. My child wears a hearing aid and she saw the hearing aid batteries hanging in out, and she thought she could have one , because every time the doctor and audiologist always give to her or ask if she needed any batteries. She never thought that we would have to buy in this office. She gave it to me to put in her backpack, during which, one of the staff saw the battery (I really don't know her name), looked at me as I was busy filling out the form for my child transfer records, and asked me like I was a thief: "Did you pay for this yet ? or Did you buy this yet?" I was surprised and shocked because I never thought that she would speak to me like that. She could've asked me more politely because we are new to this clinic and we didn't know. "MAM, THIS BATTERY IS FOR SALE, UNLESS THE AUDIOLOGY GAVE IT FOR YOU. DO YOU WANT TO BUY THIS MAM?'' My point is this: I'LL BE MORE APPRECIATIVE IF THE STAFF WERE A BIT NICER AND PROFESSIONAL. I have never been here before, so, of course, I didn't know that at the office you have to buy hearing aid batteries costing 7.00 dollars. I said to her "Really? because the doctors and audiologist I knew always puts the batteries together and gave it to her for free." I asked her, "how much are the batteries." To which she replied,"7 DOLLARS" So I told her my kid didn't see any sign that you had to pay for the battery. She thought that they would give it to her. They should have a sign saying: THIS BATTEY IS FOR SALE. If there were a sign like that, then the horrible feeling we felt in this situation won't happen in the future."

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.
