Otorhinolaryngology
At the Olympia Otorhinolaryngology Unit, we focus on ear, nose and throat care. Our team of specialists treats diseases affecting the ear, the upper aerodigestive tract (nose, sinuses, pharynx and larynx) and the surrounding structures of the face and neck. These conditions include pathologies that damage the senses, such as hearing and balance disorders or problems with smell and taste. We also treat patients with diseases affecting the voice, breathing and swallowing, as well as those with head and neck pathologies, including the skull base and orbit, in collaboration with other specialities.
