What is Otolaryngology?

Otolaryngology deals with diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the ear, nose, and throat.

Dr. Grate has extensive knowledge and training in the field of Otolaryngology plastic surgery and straight surgery. He and his head surgical nurse, attend many seminars and training sessions each year to keep on top of the most current procedures, so that they can lend even more expertise to all surgical procedures listed on this web site. You can be assured that under the professional care of Dr. Grate and his staff, you will have the best possible results and health care.

The medical procedures that can not be done in our own surgery, are done under general anesthesia at Capitol Regional Medical Center in Tallahassee, Florida. Please contact our office for further information.
