Our team is one of the top 10 in the country. Last year, we helped over 60,000 people and completed 5,181 surgeries. Every patient and every procedure had the team-based collaboration that works to reach our patient’s goals
When it comes to results, we stand out.
More than 3,500 kids and adults have regained hearing in our Cochlear Implant Program. We're also known across the country for safely removing certain types of ear tumors while keeping your hearing intact.
For patients with cancers of the head and neck, our specialty program is just one of five of its kind in the country. Our labs and clinics are working together, supported by the National Cancer Institute, to diagnose, treat, and prevent these cancers.
