Information for Physicians
Dr. D.J. Trigg’s treatment philosophy regarding children is a balance between the wishes of the child and family, current recommendations from the American Academies of Otolaryngology and Pediatrics, experience, and the needs of the child. Medical therapies are routinely employed prior to surgical considerations unless it is clear that surgical intervention is the only route that will be successful.
He is happy to see pediatric patients up to the age of 18 years old who suffer from any disease of the head and neck. Special interests include airway management, pediatric sinus disease, sleep and snoring issues, neck masses, and ear disease.
