"I made upwards of 15-20 phone calls this morning trying to find an ENT in Atlanta who could get me in within 24-48 hours for a laryngitis problem I was having. My profession requires me to use my voice so I was SO grateful to find Dr. Raja and his incredibly friendly office staff!! He tacked me on to the end of his work day, scoped my throat, made a very thorough, knowledgeable assessment of the problem, and I was walking out of the office with a prescription within 45 minutes! Wonderful experience! Looking forward to making the 40 minute drive again for my follow-up in 8 weeks!"

Dr. Matthew Carmichael specializes in otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat) and practices in Lawrenceville, GA.

"I called this office because I need time sensitive test done. I went in and had my initial evaluation done. They told me they would call me back within the next 7 days to set the next part of what I need to do up. If not I should call the office. I waited until the next Friday and I still never received a call back. I left multiple voice mails and still could never get anyone on the phone. I called and tried to talk to the office manager and she was too busy to get on the phone. I really did not appreciate this experience and now I have to start the process all over because I feel like they really don't care about me as a patient or my situation. Getting this testing done is important to me for my job and livelihood and I explained this to them multiple times. "

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.
