What Is It Like Being an ENT Patient at NCSH?

Our ENT doctors focus on patients’ unique needs and apply leading-edge surgical approaches and technology to support the best outcomes.

  • Approximately one week before your procedure, we’ll be in contact to go over your medical history and instructions and answer any questions you might have.
  • Then, from the moment you arrive at NCSH on the day of your procedure, you will receive personalized care that’s focused on making the surgery as comfortable as possible for you.
  • While most ENT surgeries at NCSH are minimally invasive and performed on an outpatient basis, if you cannot be discharged the same day as your surgery, you will stay in a spacious, private room with modern amenities until it’s time to go home.

Our team’s commitment to excellent care doesn’t stop when you leave the hospital. Before you go home, our discharge planning team will ensure you have all the resources you need to recover at home, including medication, information for scheduling follow-up appointments, and care instructions.
