This list represents some of the common conditions treated. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving ENT care with Dr. Marcincuk:
- What kind of conditions does an ENT specialist treat?
- Dr. Marcincuk, an otolaryngologist, is a medical doctor and surgeon who treats a wide range of conditions affecting the head and neck. Her expertise includes ear problems (infections, hearing loss, dizziness), nasal and sinus issues (allergies, sinusitis, breathing problems), and throat conditions (voice disorders, swallowing problems, tonsillitis). She also specializes in thyroid surgery and head/neck tumors.
- Do I need a referral to see an ENT?
- Dr. Marcincuk's office accepts many insurance plans. However, some, like HMOs, require a referral from your primary care physician. To avoid any potential issues, please check with your insurance provider to confirm referral requirements before scheduling an appointment.
- What is the difference between dizziness and vertigo?
- Dizziness is a general feeling of lightheadedness or unsteadiness. Vertigo is a specific type of dizziness, often a spinning sensation, that feels like you or the room is moving. Dr. Marcincuk can perform tests to diagnose the cause of vertigo, which frequently originates in the inner ear.
- My child gets a lot of ear infections. Do they need ear tubes?
- Ear tubes, or tympanostomy tubes, are often recommended for children with recurrent ear infections or persistent fluid buildup in the ear that affects hearing. These tiny tubes help ventilate the middle ear and prevent fluid buildup. Dr. Marcincuk can evaluate your child to determine if they are a good candidate for this common and safe procedure.
- I found a lump in my neck. What should I do?
- While many neck lumps are benign, like swollen lymph nodes from an infection, any persistent lump warrants evaluation. Dr. Marcincuk is an expert in diagnosing head and neck masses and can perform a thorough examination, including a potential in-office biopsy, to determine the cause.
- Is it normal for my voice to be hoarse for a long time?
- Hoarseness from a cold or overuse should resolve within a couple of weeks. If hoarseness lasts longer than 2-3 weeks, it's important to be evaluated by Dr. Marcincuk. She can perform a laryngoscopy to diagnose the cause, which could range from acid reflux to vocal cord nodules or other issues.
- I have frequent sinus infections. When should I see an ENT instead of my primary care doctor?
- If your sinus infections are chronic (lasting more than 12 weeks), recurrent (happening 4 or more times a year), or not improving with your primary care doctor's treatment, you should see an ENT like Dr. Marcincuk. She can perform a nasal endoscopy to better evaluate the situation and identify the underlying cause.
- What is a hearing test (audiogram) like?
- Dr. Marcincuk will conduct a simple, painless hearing test in a soundproof booth. You'll wear headphones and indicate when you hear tones of different pitches and volumes. This helps her determine the type and degree of any hearing loss.
