Head & Neck Specialist in KL & PJ

At The ENT Doctor, we provide exceptional services in the management of a wide range of head and neck disorders. Our clinic should provide diagnosis, treatment, and screening of head and neck problems in a supportive, patient-centred setting with experienced specialists in the field of head and neck in Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur.

Understanding Head & Neck Conditions

The head and neck area encompasses crucial structures, including the thyroid, salivary glands, lymph nodes, skin, and oral cavity. Diseases in these regions can include benign nodules, infections, and neoplasms, which require specialised assessment and management.

You may need to see a head and neck specialist if you have:

  • Face swelling or asymmetry
  • A lump or swelling at the neck that does not go away.
  • Enlarged lymph nodes that are not resolving even after a few weeks.
  • Hoarseness or change in voice for more than two weeks.
  • Swallowing problems or getting a feeling that something is stuck in the throat.
  • Pain in the neck, jaw or throat that cannot be explained.
  • Persistent sores or ulcers.

Head and neck conditions should be detected and treated early for better outcomes.

Our Head & Neck Services

Some of the diagnostic and surgical services we offer at The ENT Doctor, which are related to the head and neck, are:

 Skin Lesion Excision & Biopsy


Surgical excision and biopsy of the suspicious lesions on the head and neck area to early detect skin tumours or benign tumours.

Submandibular Gland Excision


Excision of the submandibular salivary gland, which is common in the treatment of chronic infection, stones, or tumours.

 Parotidectomy


Removal of part or the entire parotid gland to cure benign or malignant tumours, and avoiding the nerve to the face, the facial nerves.

Oral Lesion Excision & Biopsy


The early detection of cancer or other oral problems can be achieved by surgical excision and biopsy of suspicious lesions in the oral cavity.

Head & Neck Cancer Screening


An early diagnosis of the presence of head and neck cancers, particularly in high-risk groups of people, including smokers, heavy alcohol drinkers, or individuals with chronic throat symptoms. Screening involves a physical examination, endoscopy, and biopsy of suspicious areas, as necessary.

    Frequently asked questions

    When should I see a head and neck specialist?

    You should visit a head and neck specialist in PJ or KL if you notice symptoms such as persistent swelling on the face or neck, lumps that don’t go away, prolonged hoarseness, trouble swallowing, pain in the jaw, throat, or neck, or recurring sores in the mouth. These signs may indicate infections, gland issues, or even early-stage cancers. Early diagnosis by a qualified head and neck doctor significantly improves treatment outcomes.

    What conditions are treated at your head and neck clinic in PJ and KL?

    Our head and neck clinics in PJ and KL manage a wide range of disorders involving the thyroid, salivary glands, lymph nodes, skin, and oral cavity. We handle benign growths, infections, suspicious lesions, and cancers. Whether it’s a persistent neck lump, salivary gland disorder, or suspected oral lesion, our experienced team is equipped to provide accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

    What types of procedures are performed by your head and neck doctors?

    Our ENT doctors perform both diagnostic and surgical procedures, including skin lesion excision and biopsy, oral lesion excision, parotidectomy (removal of the parotid gland), and submandibular gland excision. We also offer Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) and ultrasound-guided assessments for conditions involving the thyroid and salivary glands.

    Do you offer cancer screening at your head and neck clinic?

    Yes. Our head and neck clinic in PJ and KL offers comprehensive head and neck cancer screening, especially for high-risk groups such as smokers, heavy alcohol users, or those with persistent throat symptoms. The screening involves physical examination, endoscopy, and biopsy when necessary.

    What is a parotidectomy, and when is it needed?

    Parotidectomy is the surgical removal of part or all of the parotid gland, typically required when there are benign or malignant tumours. Our head and neck specialists carefully perform this procedure while avoiding damage to the facial nerve, ensuring both the health and function of the surrounding area are preserved

    What is involved in evaluating a neck lump at your head and neck clinic?

    If you have a neck lump, our head and neck doctors may perform a Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) or an ultrasound-guided examination to determine its nature. These diagnostic tools help us assess whether the lump is benign, infectious, or possibly cancerous, allowing us to decide on the appropriate treatment plan quickly and accurately.

    Do you offer multidisciplinary care for complex head and neck conditions?

    Yes, we provide multidisciplinary care for complex cases. Our team works closely with oncologists, radiologists, and reconstructive surgeons for advanced head and neck tumours. This collaborative approach ensures that patients at our ENT clinic in Petaling Jaya receive comprehensive and coordinated care, from diagnosis to surgery and follow-up.

If you’re experiencing sleep-related breathing issues, our team can assess if a structural problem is contributing and recommend the appropriate solution.
