Ear, nose, and throat conditions – from chronic sinus infections and hearing loss to sleep apnea, voice disorders, and thyroid issues – sit at the intersection of medical and surgical care.

What Is Otolaryngology (ENT)?

Otolaryngology – commonly known as ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) – is the medical and surgical specialty focused on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the ears, nose, throat, head, and neck. Otolaryngologists are physicians trained to manage both medical (non-surgical) and surgical conditions across these areas, from chronic sinus infections that haven’t responded to primary care treatment to complex head and neck cancer surgery.

The specialty is unusual in modern medicine because ENT physicians are both the medical specialist and the surgeon for their patient population – unlike many specialties where medical and surgical care are divided between different physicians. This means an ENT can diagnose the problem, manage it medically, and perform the necessary surgery without referring the patient out.

Who Are the Physicians at the Practice?

Huntington Ear Nose Throat – Head & Neck Specialists has six board-certified physicians covering the practice’s specialty areas:

Dr. Steven A. Battaglia, MD – one of the most reviewed ENT physicians in the Pasadena area, recognized in Super Doctors listings. Dr. Battaglia is known for devotion to quality patient care.

Dr. Jordan M. Sukys, MD – recognized in Super Doctors listings for the West San Gabriel Valley region.

Dr. Charles Reeder Battaglia, MD – part of the multi-generation Battaglia practice presence at Huntington ENT.

Dr. Taylor R. Carle, MD – fellowship-trained in rhinology and skull base surgery. Dr. Carle earned her medical degree from the Keck School of Medicine of USC, completed her otolaryngology residency and internship at the University of Michigan, and finished her rhinology and skull base surgery fellowship at UCLA. Board-certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, affiliated with Huntington Hospital, and a member of the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, American Rhinologic Society, and North American Skull Base Society.

Dr. Alyssa A. Kano, MD and Dr. David K. Yun, MD round out the six-physician team.

What Conditions Does the Practice Treat?

Huntington Ear Nose Throat – Head & Neck Specialists treats the full range of ENT conditions:

Sinus disease – chronic and acute sinusitis, nasal polyps
Nasal congestion and obstruction – medical management and surgical correction
Ear pain, hearing loss, and ear infections
Nosebleeds – evaluation and management of recurrent epistaxis
Tonsillitis – recurrent infections and tonsillectomy where indicated
Hoarseness and voice disorders
Dizziness – ENT-related causes of vertigo and balance disorders
Salivary gland disease
Thyroid disorders – including endocrine surgery for thyroid and parathyroid conditions
Sleep apnea – evaluation and surgical treatment options
Head and neck tumors, both benign and cancerous
Pediatric ENT conditions

What Specialty Areas Are Covered?

The practice covers all major subspecialties within otolaryngology:

Otology – ear conditions, hearing disorders, balance issues
Rhinology – sinus and nasal conditions
Laryngology – voice and throat disorders
Facial plastic and reconstructive surgery
Head and neck oncology – cancer of the head and neck region
Endocrine surgery – thyroid and parathyroid procedures
Pediatric otolaryngology – ENT care for children

On-site Diagnostic Audiology services mean patients with hearing concerns can be evaluated in the same visit rather than being referred elsewhere for testing – a meaningful operational difference for elderly patients or those with mobility limitations.

How Does the Practice Work with Doctor2me for Home-Based Care?

For ENT patients who are elderly, recovering from surgery, or have mobility limitations that make clinic visits difficult, Doctor2me physicians visit patients directly at their home for routine primary care, chronic condition management, medication reviews, and post-operative follow-up.

For patients recovering from ENT surgery – thyroidectomy, sinus surgery, head and neck procedures – the early post-discharge weeks often involve mobility limitations, pain management, and primary care follow-up that doesn’t require returning to the specialty clinic. In-home physician visits during this window can provide continuity of care without the transportation burden.

What About Mobile Imaging for ENT Patients?

Many ENT patients – particularly those with thyroid concerns, head and neck masses, or salivary gland conditions – need imaging to support diagnosis. For elderly patients or those with significant mobility limitations, getting to a radiology center for routine imaging can be a real barrier.

Professional Imaging Network Co. (PIN) is a family-owned mobile diagnostic imaging service operating in Southern California since 1999. PIN provides mobile ultrasound and X-ray services that come to the patient’s home, assisted living community, or skilled nursing facility – with images interpreted by 24/7 staff radiologists and delivered digitally. Service area covers Los Angeles County (including Pasadena), Ventura, San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange Counties.

For ENT patients needing thyroid ultrasound, salivary gland imaging, or other studies within PIN’s ultrasound and X-ray scope, mobile imaging eliminates the trip to a radiology center entirely. Note that PIN provides ultrasound and X-ray only – not CT or MRI, which some ENT diagnostic workups require.

What About Home Health Care During ENT Recovery?

For elderly patients recovering from ENT surgery, sleep apnea-related interventions, or chronic condition management, home health care provides an additional layer of professional support during the recovery window – nursing assessments, wound care, medication management, and care coordination.

XL Care Home Health Agency is a home health agency serving the Los Angeles County area. The agency provides skilled home health services for patients recovering from surgery, managing chronic conditions, or transitioning between hospital and home care.

For Pasadena Medical Plaza ENT patients who need post-operative support at home – particularly elderly patients or those without family available for 24-hour care – home health agency support can be coordinated through the surgeon’s discharge instructions.
