Pediatric Otolaryngology
The UCLA Pediatric Otolaryngology Program provides medical and surgical management of children with ear, nose and throat disorders. Children from birth to age 21 years are treated by pediatric subspecialists in all aspects of their ear, nose and throat-related problems. Dr. Nina Shapiro is a pediatric otolaryngologist with a clinical and research practice devoted to ear, nose and throat disorders in children. As the first fellowship-trained pediatric otolaryngologist at UCLA, Dr. Shapiro has brought new, innovative techniques for the treatment of pediatric disorders to UCLA. Dr. Alisha West, also a fellowship-trained pediatric otolaryngologist, began practicing with our division in 2011. Surgeries are performed on children with all facets of ear, nose and throat disorders. These include endoscopic airway and sinus surgery, and laser procedures for the airway and head and neck.
