"I had multiple issues at ENT Specialists which is shown owned by Dr. Gull. His office charged for a "no show" when I showed, refused to see me when I was 20 minutes late on an extremely heavy snow day where there were multiple wrecks on I-15, charged me for office visits when their office agreed to refund to my insurance the entire package amount for hearing aids, broker their agreement to work with another office, and there were other issues. His staff was very rude, condescending, and unhelpful. I will not return to this office (ENT Specialists). "

Dr. Steven Miller is an otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat) specialist in Salt Lake City, UT and Draper, UT. He studied at the University of Utah School of Medicine.

"This doctor briefly gazed at my nose and said, 'Yup. You need surgery..' after I asked if I would need surgery. I also brought my daughter in for a hearing exam. The test kept coming up showing a hearing loss .The technician said, 'oh... it is just the equipment. It needs calibrated... or something.' I would not let this doctor EVER touch me or my family and certainly not surgery. I am a nurse. Dr Miller's patients in the PACU always have some type of issue; extra pain, extra bleeding, extra nausea. I found that out after I had been in his office. DO NOT GO TO HIM. His office bill collector was horrible; she harassed me and harassed me to pay the copay and would not work with me on it. I had no intention of not paying it. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE."

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.
