Let Us Tune Your Senses to the Richness of Life

Let Us Tune Your Senses to the Richness of Life

By: Rima DeFatta, MD & Robert DeFatta, MD, PhD, FACS

Imagine not having a voice to read to your grandchild, or them not hearing the first sounds of the world around them. Imagine not smelling the earth after a spring rain, or not tasting and enjoying your favorite holiday meal. At times like these, when the richness of life is diminished or even jeopardized, you can turn to the experts at DeFatta ENT & Allergy, as we specialize in treating these basic functions of life. Allow us to introduce you to our practice!

We treat the simple to severe, at all stages of life.
