Complete Ear, Nose, and Throat and Allergy Services Under One Roof

At Tampa Children's ENT, we understand that every child has unique health needs. From simple ear infections to more complex airway conditions, our team is here to provide specialized care for children from birth through young adulthood. Families can expect advanced medical expertise in a warm and supportive setting where children feel safe and parents feel reassured.

Our clinic offers three primary services. These are pediatric otolaryngology, pediatric audiology, and allergy testing and treatment. By combining these specialties under one roof, we make it easier for families to find the proper care without having to visit multiple providers.

Our Specialties in Child-Focused ENT Care

1. Pediatric Otolaryngology

Children are not simply small adults, and their ENT needs require specialized training and extra care. Our board-certified pediatric ENT surgeons have years of experience treating children and are dedicated to improving both health and quality of life.

We provide care for a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Ear problems such as repeated infections, fluid buildup, or hearing loss.
  • Tonsil and adenoid issues that may cause sore throats, sleep problems, or snoring.
  • Nasal and sinus concerns, including chronic congestion and obstruction
  • Airway, swallowing, and voice problems
  • Head and neck conditions, such as cleft-related challenges and congenital anomalies

Our focus goes beyond simply treating illness. We aim to help children breathe easier, sleep better, succeed in school, and enjoy a happier, healthier daily life.

2. Pediatric Audiology

Hearing plays a vital role in a child's speech, language, and learning. At our clinic, we believe in "No Sunshine for Audio," which means no child should miss out on the sounds that help them grow and thrive.

Our pediatric audiologists provide complete evaluations for children of all ages, using testing methods suited to each stage of development. Results are explained in simple terms so families know exactly what to expect and how to support their child's hearing health.

Our Services:

  • Newborn hearing screenings
  • Behavioral hearing tests for children
  • Auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing for infants
  • Middle ear testing to check eardrum movement and reflexes
  • Otoacoustic emissions (OAE) to measure inner ear function
  • Auditory processing disorder (APD) evaluations for children aged seven and older

Next Steps if Hearing Loss is Found

If testing confirms hearing loss, we provide solutions tailored to each child. Options include hearing aids, cochlear implants, osseointegrated devices, classroom FM systems, and custom earplugs. Parents also receive step-by-step guidance to support their child's progress at home and in school.

3. Allergy Care

Allergies can have a significant impact on a child's daily life, from disrupting sleep to affecting school performance and overall comfort. At our clinic, we provide comprehensive testing and clear guidance so families can better understand and manage allergy concerns.

How We Test

We use skin prick testing for common environmental and food allergens. Intradermal testing may also be performed when additional confirmation is needed. These tests are safe, effective, and designed to provide fast and reliable results.

What We Test For

Our allergy panels cover a wide range of common triggers:

  • Trees and Grasses – including White Ash, Box Elder, Live Oak, Bald Cypress, Red Mulberry, Yellow Pine, Bermuda Grass, Johnson Grass, Virginia Live Oak, American Elm, Hackberry, Cottonwood, and more
  • Weeds – such as Ragweed, Lamb's Quarters, Cocklebur, Nettle, Dogfennel, Spiny Pigweed, and Marsh Elder
  • Molds – including Alternaria, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, and Penicillium
  • Other Environmental Allergens – Dust mites, Cat and Dog dander, and Cockroach mix
  • Foods – including Milk, Wheat, Egg, Soybean, and Almond

What Parents Can Expect

Before testing, parents are given clear preparation instructions, including which medicines should be paused. Testing is quick and straightforward, with results usually available in fifteen to twenty minutes. Our team takes the time to explain the findings and provide practical next steps carefully, so families know exactly how to help their child feel better at home, at school, and outdoors.
