The Johns Hopkins Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery has been delivering expert patient care and research innovation for over a century. Founded in 1914, the department grew from a small group of ear, nose, and throat physicians to an international leader in otolaryngology and head and neck cancer care. Johns Hopkins is proud to provide comprehensive multi-disciplinary care for ear, nose, throat and head and neck conditions in Baltimore, Maryland and the Washington D.C. metropolitan area.
