Head and Neck Above the Rest: Dr. Sisi Tian
Otolaryngology can be a big, intimidating word. Merriam-Webster dictionary defines it as “a medical specialty concerned especially with the ear, nose, and throat and related parts of the head and neck.” But most people are more comfortable with the term “ear, nose, and throat” (ENT).
By either definition, you’d be in good hands with Dr. Sisi Tian.
