Department of Pediatric Otolaryngology (Ear, Nose and Throat)

At Children’s Hospital Colorado, our otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat) experts provide comprehensive care for kids in the Rocky Mountain region and beyond. Each year we see more than 18,000 patients for conditions like hearing loss and sleep disorders.  

Our team is one of the largest fellowship-trained pediatric otolaryngologist teams in the western United States. Specialists are also faculty members in the Department of Otolaryngology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

To provide your child with the most comprehensive care, the department collaborates with other services at Children’s Colorado, such as audiology, speech pathology and learning services, pulmonary medicine, allergy, immunology pediatric medicine and surgery.
