It is also called otolaryngology-head and neck surgery because specialists are trained in both medicine and surgery. An otolaryngologist is often called an ear, nose, and throat doctor, or an ENT for short. This medical specialty dates back to the 19th century, when doctors recognized that the head and neck contained a series of interconnected systems. They developed techniques and tools for examining and treating problems of the head and neck, eventually forming a medical specialty. Dr. Colin’s over twenty years of experience in the field allow him to give his patients the best possible care. In addition to his time at the Lexington Clinic, Dr. Colin practices with St. Joseph East Hospital and St. Joseph Hospital, which allows him to care for many people throughout his practice.
