Our Integrated Multidisciplinary Approach
At Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, we assess and diagnose children holistically. From the moment a child comes through the door, our treatment approach is all-inclusive. Instead of sending a child to various doctor appointments and diagnostic tests spanning weeks — or even months — Cincinnati Children’s performs all exams and tests within a few days.
Our integrated approach allows doctors in multiple disciplines to work together to determine the best course of action for your child. Often, children have a variety of medical issues that need to be addressed, and our team provides coordinated care for each child. Each child’s needs are discussed with his or her family, offering an integrated, customized treatment plan.
In addition to dedicated surgeons and physicians, we provide excellent peri-operative and post-operative care, from anesthesia to the Intensive Care Unit, to swallowing and voice rehabilitation, and beyond. We ensure that each child receives the care he or she needs one week, month or year down the road. When your child is a patient at Cincinnati Children’s, you receive the benefit of not just one doctor’s opinion, but an entire community of doctors all striving for a positive outcome.
The Best in Children’s Otolaryngology
The Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center Division of Otolaryngology is expanding the surgical horizons of airway reconstruction. We are utilizing new techniques and procedures, as well as researching new ways to use topical steroids and antibiotics in our patient’s treatment plans.
Cincinnati Children’s is also at the forefront of vocal reconstruction, an issue that sometimes is not apparent until a child reaches the teenage years. Our Otolaryngology team studies a wide range of vocal outcomes from airway reconstruction surgeries, using that information to offer solutions to children experiencing voice issues.
We strive to assess all aspects of a child and individualize a treatment plan that encompasses all levels of care. If surgery is the best option, we have the expertise to customize the procedure to meet all of your child’s medical needs. We firmly believe that it’s more than just the airway reconstruction operation that gives a child a successful outcome.
Airway reconstructions are not always straightforward procedures. The specialized team of surgeons at Cincinnati Children’s has performed more open airway reconstructions than anywhere else in the world, helping to ensure that your child will receive experienced and dedicated care.
