The nine OHNS physicians in the department provide a full range of services including general otolaryngology, otology / neurotology, endocrine surgery, sleep surgery, rhinology, and head and neck oncologic surgery.  We work closely with our colleagues in maxillofacial surgery, orofacial medicine, plastic surgery, sleep medicine, and neurosurgery.  Our medical center enjoys a strong affiliation with the University of California at Davis, serving as a teaching hospital for residents in many specialties, including one full-time OHNS resident.
