Tonsillectomy in children

We treat patients for a variety of conditions, including common conditions like tonsillitis and ear infections as well as complicated diagnoses like thyroid cancer and cystic fibrosis. The best way to prepare for your child's tonsillectomy surgery is to learn as much as possible about what will happen during the surgery process.
