Our Staff & Clinic

We are a one-stop ENT facility providing a wide range of services for adults and children.

To achieve this aim, we endeavour to provide service in a timely manner. Many investigations, even sophisticated radiological tests like Magnetic Resonance Imaging or Sleep Studies (Polysomnogram) can be arranged on the same day basis with reports available within less than 48 hours. Conditions apply.

Dr. Huang and the staff are conversant in English, Chinese (Putonghua and major dialects) and basic Bahasa Indonesia.

General Ear Nose & Throat Conditions

Tonsillitis and Adenoiditis /Sorethroat assessment - "Coblation" Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy with Power-instrumentation "Microdebriders" are routine.

Coblation uses radiofrequency energy to convert saline solution into a precisely focused plasma field. The energized particles in this plasma field have sufficient energy to break molecular bonds,excising or dissolving soft tissue at low temperatures, typically 40 degrees C to 70 degrees C, as opposed to the high temperatures of electrocautery. The relatively low temperatures of Coblation preserve the integrity of surrounding healthy tissue, which results in less pain and faster recovery for patients.

Foreign Bodies in the ear, nose and throat anatomy

Ear Conditions

Ear Drum Perforations- Tympanoplasty/Myringoplasty is performed to repair the ear drum.

Cholesteatoma- Dangerous epithelial skin "ingrowths" which can potentially cause erosion to vital structures such as brain lining ( meninges), facial nerve (for facial expressions) and the balance organ ( vestibular labyrinth) has to be aggressively treated with specialized surgery called Mastoidectomy.

Polysomnography (PSG) also known as Sleep Study is usually needed for a full evaluation. Ambulatory PSG can be arranged in the natural home environment or in the comfort of the hotel room. The data and report is usually ready in 2-3 days.

 

Surgery for Snoring/OSA include:

Somnoplasty (including Radiofrequency Palate Stiffening )

When surgery is not warranted or recommended, a device known as nasal CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) may be required. We will advise on this.

Voice Disorders- Fibreoptic Video-Nasoendoscopic Evaluation Of Larynx to diagnose different causes of voice disorders.

Depending on pathology, Speech therapy or Microlaryngeal surgery (with or without the use of laser) may be required.
