Otolaryngology

1125 W Iron Springs Road, Prescott, AZ

Dr. Derek Hewitt sees patients in Prescott, AZ. His medical specialty is otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat). He attended the University of Utah School of Medicine.

"After being misdiagnosed for months by his PCP my husband researched and found Dr. Hewitt who recently moved to our area. We thought we were going to be told he had a infection, however, Dr. Hewitt initially diagnosed cancer on the base of the tongue immediately in his office and confirmed it the following week with a biopsy. He provided us with our options and, even though he realized we were in shock, didn't try to sugar coat what we were going to face. While we were waiting for PET Scan results, onogoloy appointments, and radiation ongology appointments, Dr. Hewitt was avaialabe whenever we needed him for advice, prescriptions, referrals, etc. He got my husband in immediately whenever he called and called him back personally if he had a question. This is not the kind of care we have come to expect since moving to this rural area. It's the kind you used to hear about back when doctors cared about their patients. As we face the final week of treatment I am so grateful we found Dr. Hewitt. Even though my husband's cancer had advanced to stage IV, we have very encouraging news from the doctors treating him and know that if we hadn't found Dr. Hewitt when we did this may have advanced to a point that he would not have the hope he has now.

Otolaryngology

1125 W Iron Springs Road, Prescott, AZ

Dr. Mark Strasser, who practices in Prescott, AZ, is a medical specialist in otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat). He studied at the University of Arizona College of Medicine.

"Difficult to receive a timely appointment from this office. The diagnosis was incorrect as was the medication When I called to try and get an appointment since my infection had not been cured, I was told that I would have to wait two weeks for an appointment. I went to Flagstaff to a recommended ENT there and was given the correct medication and the infection was cured. Don't feel compelled to go here just because it is the only game in town. Hopefully this will change."

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.
