[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”small” position=”left” color=”#cd2122″ thickness=”4″ width=”48″ up=”17″ down=”27″][vc_column_text]The otolaryngologist, also called ENT (an abbreviation for “Ear, Nose, Throat\u201d doctor), is the doctor and surgeon treating diseases and abnormalities of the head and neck area. More specifically, the ENT specialist addresses the diseases of the ear, nose and throat, such as otitis, sinusitis, laryngitis, etc. The ENT is therefore interested in hearing, voice, breathing, sense of smell, taste and balance. At Lacroix Private Medicine, we are fortunate to have on our operating team in Laval Dr. Kim-Loan Vo-Doan, an experienced ENT specialist.<\/span><\/p>\n

Myringotomy (tube placement) in our Laval operating room<\/h3>\n

—<\/p>\n

Known as a treatment for recurrent ear infections, myringotomy is a common surgical procedure aiming to treat ear infection complications, such as the buildup of purulent fluid in the ear. This surgery involves a small incision in the eardrum, followed by the installation of a tube to relieve pressure and drain fluid. It is a safe and effective solution, with rapid healing and no impact on hearing. It is available for children aged two and over.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We have experienced otolaryngologists (ENT) in Laval ready to provide you with this care, ensuring your child receives effective treatment in a reassuring and professional environment.<\/p>\n
