FAQs About Dr. Daneshrad
Answers to Common Questions About Los Angeles’ Best ENT & Facial Plastic Surgeon
What is an ENT?
An Otolaryngologist / Head and Neck Surgeon (ENT) is a physician and surgeon who has specialized training to treat a diverse range of conditions and disorders of the head and neck. From simple sore throat to complex facial fractures, ENTs treat everything in the ear, nose, throat, and neck. This specialized training requires five years of intensive study beyond medical school.
What led Dr. Daneshrad to become an ENT over other medical specialties?
As an ENT, Dr. Daneshrad can treat patients of all ages with virtually any issue in the head and neck region. On the same day, Dr. Daneshrad may treat a child for a sore throat, an adult for chronic sinus issues, an athlete for a facial fracture, and a model for a cosmetic rhinoplasty.
What are the primary surgical services provided by an ENT?
In general, ENTs perform any surgery needed in the head and neck region. This list includes tonsillectomy, septoplasty, sinus surgery, balloon sinus dilation, rhinoplasty, facial fracture repair, skin cancer reconstruction, and facelift surgery.
When should a patient see an ENT over a primary care physician?
Over half of all visits to a primary care physician are for ENT-related reasons. Whether it's a stuffy nose, a sore throat, ear pain, or snoring, whenever the patient feels that medication alone is no longer helping or that the response to medical treatment is short-lived, a visit to an ENT specialist is warranted.
What can I expect during an ENT appointment?
During an ENT appointment, patients should plan to be thorough about their medical history and current symptoms. Based on the patient’s symptoms, Dr. Daneshrad will perform a full head and neck exam followed by any other necessary diagnostic examinations based on the symptoms and the exam findings.
