Why M Physicians? Otolaryngology (also known as ear, nose and throat, or ENT) is the branch of medicine that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of a broad range of ear, nose, throat, head and neck problems. We work closely with providers from several different specialties, including audiology, neurology, neurosurgery, speech language pathology, medical oncology, radiation oncology and thoracic surgery in order to provide the best care possible for our patients all under one roof. We have a dedicated team of providers and clinical staff who are experts in their subspecialties. Our patient care is based on leading-edge research at the University of Minnesota which is continually pursuing and developing better treatments for patients.
