Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery Telemedicine Appointments
Tanya Sharrieff, Physician Assistant in Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, conducts a telemedicine visit with a patient
Mount Sinai’s Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Medicine offers telemedicine/video appointments to maximize the patient experience and efficiency. We recognize during this heightened alert about COVID-19, that this convenient service is extremely helpful with reducing your potential risk of exposure. Used for both new and existing patients, these appointments may be made for most Otolaryngology/Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) visit types.
We appreciate your understanding that some ENT/otolaryngology conditions require a physical examination and/or endoscopic visualization of the nose, mouth or voice box in the office. However, we are encouraging telemedicine/telehealth visits to start the conversation about patients’ symptoms and determine next steps which can include prescribing medications if needed. Our patients have given us great feedback about their experience and enjoy the various benefits of real-time video visits.
If you would like to request a Telemedicine visit, please email ENTtelemedicine@mountsinai.org, request an appointment through MyMountSinai or call your physician’s office and speak to one of our staff members who can assist you (for phone numbers and locations, visit Otolaryngology Locations and Contact Information).
