Patient Care Experience

Complex pediatric ENT problems require skilled and nuanced solutions. The Vanderbilt Pediatric Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery team works closely with additional experts at Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital, spearheading multidisciplinary care in programs like the Complex Aerodigestive Evaluation Team (CADET), and the Velopharyngeal Insufficiency Program (VPI). The Vanderbilt Pediatric Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery team also has experience in treating conditions like cleft lip, cleft palate, vascular anomalies, and refractory obstructive sleep apnea.

We offer clinics at the main Children's Hospital location, Murfreesboro, and Spring Hill, where we see more than 25,000 outpatient visitors and perform more than 6,000 surgeries each year.

Pediatric Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery also offers a highly sought after clinical fellowship. The fellowship covers all aspects of pediatric clinical care as well as research and global outreach opportunities.
