When your child has more than just a runny nose, the highly skilled, compassionate pediatric otolaryngologists — also called ear, nose and throat specialists or ENTs — at RUSH University Children's Hospital can help.
From noisy breathing and sinus disease to hearing loss and congenital neck masses, you'll find care for the full range of common and complex ear, nose and throat issues in children of all ages. Here, we offer the latest treatments, from medications to minimally invasive surgery, and we personalize care plans to meet each child's needs.
Our pediatric ENT specialists also partner with other pediatric specialists at RUSH University Children's Hospital — including gastroenterologists, pulmonologists, allergists and sleep medicine experts — to address related issues such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), allergic rhinitis/asthma and obstructive sleep apnea.
Remarkable Care for Kids
- Family-friendly approach: We're committed to providing a safe, nurturing environment to help lessen the fear and stress for our young patients — and their families. Treatments are personalized to meet your child's needs, and we work with your family to make sure you understand and are comfortable with the treatment plan.
- Convenient online appointment scheduling: We are currently accepting new patients. If your child is a new pediatric ENT patient, you can make an appointment online. We also offer virtual visits.
- Expert aerodigestive care for kids: Our Pediatric Aerodigestive Program offers comprehensive, coordinated care for complex, often interrelated airway, digestive, feeding and sleep disorders. With our "one appointment" approach, your child can be seen by multiple specialists in the same visit, so you don't have to schedule separate appointments.
- Options for procedures with no anesthesia: Our ENT physicians can perform ear tube procedures using the FDA-cleared Hummingbird device. This device can be implanted in the office without the need for general anesthesia. There is no need for fasting, and your child can get back to normal activities immediately after the procedure.
- Nationally ranked program: The ENT program at Rush University Medical Center is consistently ranked among the best in the nation by U.S. News & World Report and is the highest-ranked ENT program in Chicago, Indiana and Wisconsin. It's excellence you can trust.
- Care close to home: We offer pediatric ENT care at a number of convenient locations in Chicago, Oak Park, Aurora/Fox Valley and Oak Brook.
