Mr. Charles Anstrand practices urgent care and otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat) in Nampa, ID, Boise, ID, and Meridian, ID.

"Zero stars!! Referred me to speech therapy after being unable to diagnose a simple throat infection. I went through 12 months of not being able to speak or breathe correctly. Resulting in my throat almost collapsing. I had to seek a specialist out on my own and went out of state to have throat surgery and 6 rounds of antibiotics. Called to share my experience and wanted an apology and they were unable to call me back or show any empathy. Would never trust anyone in my family to attend this P.A. He has zero compassion for patients and highly disappointed with his practice. Emotional intelligence = 0% "

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.
