Message from the Chair

Dwight T. Jones, MD

Welcome to the University of Nebraska Department of Otolaryngology’s Website.  Thanks for visiting and hopefully this site will help provide you any information you might have about our department and all that we are about. 

The department was first formed back in the 1960’s to provide otolaryngology (ENT) care to patients at the University of Nebraska Medical School and Center.  Over the years, several changes have taken place.  With the development of otolaryngology subspecialities the department has added several positions and now has 14 subspecialties representing every area of otolaryngology.  These include:   general otolaryngology, head an neck cancer, otology (ear), laryngology (voice), pediatric otolaryngology, sinus and rhinology (nose), facial plastics, and prosthetic reconstruction of facial defects.  This group of physicians provides access to total otolaryngology care to the Omaha and central Nebraska region.  Our goal is not only to provide quality patient care in every area, both general and advanced, from basic primary items such as ear tube placement and children’s care to resection of head and neck cancer and cosmetic procedures such has face lifts and nasal reconstruction, we have it covered. 

 

If you need more information on our department, faculty, programs, or resident training, please call or email us at your convenience. 

Yours,

Dwight T. Jones, MD
