Eric Schwetschenau, MD, chose a career in medicine largely influenced by his father, a doctor. He observed his father's ability to improve the lives of his patients through medicine, and wanted to continue providing help to those in need. He was immediately drawn to Otolaryngology as it allowed him to work with a diverse patient population with a wide variety of medical issues.
Dr. Schwetschenau provides medical and surgical treatment for pediatric and adult patients with Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) issues. He works collaboratively with his patients, discussing risks and benefits of treatment options, and views the decision-making process as a team effort between physician and patient. Dr. Schwetschenau is particularly interested in performing pediatric Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) surgeries, including tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy and sinus surgery.
Dr. Schwetschenau's practice focus includes:
- Pediatric and adult ENT (ear, nose, throat issues)
- Head and neck surgery (e.g. thyroid and parathyroid surgery, head and neck cancer, tonsillectomy)
- Sinus and nasal airway surgery
- Allergy treatment
- Obstructive sleep apnea
