More commonly known as an ENT, our board-certified otolaryngologist, Tyler Light, MD, treats diseases of the ears, nose, and throat. Whether you’re seeking routine consultation or specialized surgical intervention, our ENT department stands at the forefront of otolaryngological services, ready to guide you on your journey to optimal health.

Ear: Dr. Light is trained in the medical and surgical treatment of hearing loss, ear infections, hearing problems, nerve pain, and facial and cranial nerve disorders. 

Nose: Care of the nasal cavity and sinuses is one of the primary skills of otolaryngologists. Dr. Light will diagnose, manage and treat allergies, sinusitis, smell disorders, polyps, and nasal obstruction due to a deviated septum. He can also correct the appearance of the nose (rhinoplasty surgery).

Throat: Dr. Light has expertise in managing diseases of the larynx (voice box) and the esophagus, including voice and swallowing disorders.

Head and Neck: In the head and neck area, Dr. Light can treat infectious diseases, both benign and malignant (cancerous) tumors, salivary and thyroid disorders, facial trauma, and face deformities. He can provide care to patients struggling with sleep disorders and obstructive sleep apnea. 

Pediatrics: Dr. Light treats all ages of patients. Pediatric patients have unique problems, including recurrent ear infections, hearing loss, enlarged tonsils, nasal obstructed breathing, sleep-disordered breathing, and neck masses in childhood. 

Dr. Light specializes in comprehensive nasal care, including in-office and operative sinus procedures for managing chronic sinus disease. Procedures for nasal obstructed breathing and deformity include septoplasty, nasal valve repair, and rhinoplasty. He works in a multidisciplinary approach with Allergy and Immunology to provide comprehensive care, which may consist of surgical interventions for the nose and sinuses. 

Dr. Light also provides surgical care for a comprehensive approach to managing sleep-disordered breathing and associated problems.
