Eng H. Ooi is an otolaryngologist based in Adelaide, SA, working in Head and Neck Surgery. This kind of care covers problems of the ear, nose, throat, and the head and neck area. It can be anything from common infections to more complex conditions that need careful checking and treatment planning.
In many cases, patients see Eng H. Ooi for ear and sinus issues. That includes otitis, ear fluid problems like otitis media with effusion, and sinusitis. Ongoing nasal and sinus trouble, including chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), is also part of the day-to-day work. At times, symptoms like blocked noses, facial pressure, or changes in breathing make it necessary to look deeper with endoscopy.
There’s also a strong focus on throat and airway conditions. This can include tonsillitis and adenoid problems, where treatment may involve procedures like an adenoidectomy. For some people, the issue is breathing during sleep, so obstructive sleep apnoea is something that gets attention as well.
Hearing-related concerns are part of the mix too. Patients may be assessed for hearing loss, and at times treatment can involve procedures like myringotomy, especially when fluid or pressure is an issue.
Some appointments centre on growths and cancers in the mouth, throat, or head and neck area. Eng H. Ooi looks after conditions such as oral squamous cell carcinoma, tongue cancer, and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). There’s also care for related diagnoses, including tissue biopsy when a sample is needed to guide next steps. Tongue and throat symptoms can have many causes, so getting the right tests is key.
In addition, the practice covers conditions like nasal polyps, chronic nose and sinus problems, and more specialised head and neck work. This includes endoscopy and endoscopic transnasal transsphenoidal surgery for selected cases, along with tissue biopsy when required.
Other conditions listed in this profile include laryngectomy, spasmodic dysphonia, and longer-term or less common issues such as bone tumour and cavernous sinus thrombosis. Research and clinical trials are not specifically listed here, but the clinical approach covers both diagnosis and treatment, using the tools available in head and neck care.
Eng H. Ooi is trained as an otolaryngologist and has experience with the range of services shown in this profile, including endoscopy, procedures for tonsillitis and adenoids, ear and sinus care, airway and sleep-related assessment, and work that involves head and neck cancer care.
