Find a Coblation® specialist
Use our physician finder to locate an ENT specialist near you who performs Coblation tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.

If you are sent to an ENT specialist for further examination of your tonsils, you can expect the ENT specialist to review your medical history and perform a detailed examination of your upper airway.

The doctor will also review the patient’s sleep history and quality of life and may perform a sleep study called a “polysomnography”. Polysomnography is a diagnostic test designed to collect information on a number of physiologic variables during sleep.

Based on the exam, the ENT may recommend a tonsillectomy. Ask your doctor about special things that your child should do before he or she goes in for surgery. Be sure to follow your doctor's directions closely.
