What Is an ENT?
An ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist, also known as an Otolaryngologist, is a medical doctor trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions related to the ears, nose, throat, head, and neck. This includes common issues like ear infections, sinus problems, and allergies, as well as more complex conditions such as hearing loss, sleep apnea, and throat cancer.
ENT specialists are also experts in managing both medical and surgical treatments. For example, they may perform surgeries for chronic sinus infections, remove tumors from the head and neck area, or recommend hearing aids for those with hearing loss.
When Should You Visit an ENT?
If you're dealing with persistent or recurring symptoms affecting your ears, nose, throat, or sinuses, it's a good idea to see an ENT. Common signs that warrant a visit include:
- Chronic ear infections or hearing loss
- Persistent nasal congestion or sinus pressure
- Frequent sore throats or difficulty swallowing
- Changes in your voice or unexplained hoarseness
- Balance problems or dizziness
- Sleep disturbances, including snoring or sleep apnea
As an expert in Otolaryngology in New Jersey, Dr. Scaccia can help identify the cause of these issues and recommend the right treatment to improve your health and comfort.

FAQs

We work with a variety of major insurance providers to help make your care more accessible. To ensure coverage, we recommend verifying your plan details before your appointment, and our team can assist with any insurance-related questions.
Can I See an ENT Without a Referral?
In most cases, you can see an ENT specialist without a referral, especially if you are seeking treatment for a specific concern such as hearing loss, sinus problems, or a sore throat. However, some insurance plans may require a referral from your primary care physician before you can see a specialist. It's a good idea to check with your insurance provider or our office to confirm any requirements before scheduling your appointment.
Are There Any Risks of ENT-Related Surgeries?
Yes, like any surgery, ENT-related procedures carry some risks. These can include infection, bleeding, scarring, and anesthesia complications. Additionally, certain surgeries may lead to temporary or, in rare cases, permanent changes in sensation or voice, especially in procedures involving the throat or vocal cords. Swelling or other issues may affect breathing after nasal surgeries, and there is also a slight risk of damage to nearby structures.
However, our experienced team takes every precaution to minimize these risks and ensures you're well-informed about the procedure, recovery, and potential outcomes.
How Long Is the Recovery Time for ENT Surgeries?
The recovery time for ENT surgeries varies depending on the type of procedure and individual factors like age and overall health. Generally, minor procedures such as ear tube insertion or nasal endoscopy may require only a few days of rest. More extensive surgeries like sinus surgery, tonsillectomy, or septoplasty may require 1 to 2 weeks for initial recovery, with full healing potentially taking up to 4 to 6 weeks.
During recovery, it's important to follow Dr. Scaccia’s post-surgical care instructions to ensure proper healing and minimize complications. He will provide a detailed recovery plan tailored to your surgery and needs.
