How Do I Know If My Child Needs an ENT?
It can be hard to determine whether to seek a specialist’s care. For most families, your first stop is the family doctor or pediatrician.
If there is a condition that warrants a more specialized approach, they will make a referral to a local ENT physician’s office. You can also call the ENT offices directly; some may not require a referral for an initial consult.
