ENT? What does that mean?
ENT stands for Ear, Nose, & Throat which is the area of the body that Otolaryngology (pronounced oh-toe-lair-in-GOLL-oh-jee) specialists usually treat. Otolaryngologists are physicians who are specially trained in medicine, surgery, and treatment of the ear, nose, throat, and related structures of the head and neck.
Otolaryngology is the oldest medical specialty in the United States, and Otolaryngologists complete up to 15 years of college and post-graduate training before becoming board certified and beginning practice. They are commonly referred to as ENT physicians, which stands for Ear, Nose, Throat. Both Drs. Bello and Magardino are board certified in Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery.
