"For 9 months I have been to at least 10 different doctors for a debilitating issue. The attitude that I saw during the initial visit had an arrogance and I essentially heard “ why are you here, we can’t help with that”. This doctor has the very worst bedside manner that I have ever experienced. She really doesn't listen to you, and shuts your thoughts down before you can even convey them to her. Instead of trying to convey real info back to her patients, she uses every medical term she can muster to ensure that the patient leaves confused but with no useful information in which to make decisions. I am highly intelligent and can understand many complex concepts, but I surely won't know all of the terminology for a given discipline. When I explain highly technical things, I adjust my words to use more laymen’s terminology. After all the intent is to convey information. Condescending & arrogant is an accurate description of this doctor. She seems to have no interest in solving the issue, just getting you through so she can move on to the next. I essentially forced her to listen and concede to running her tests. In the end these tests were the first time that I actually have some hope of determining what might be wrong, and yet she really didn't want to do them in the first place. I cannot possible recommend this person, and have never been more disappointed in the three visits with this doctor. I don’t enjoy writing this negative review, but I feel it is warranted. "

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.
