Overview
Head & Neck Surgical Cancer Specialists of SW FL, part of the GenesisCare network, center for head and neck surgery
At Head & Neck Surgical Cancer Specialists of SW Florida, our practice focuses on treating both benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) issues of the head and neck. Our otolaryngologist (head and neck surgeon), Scott Larson, MD, is board certified and an expert in the surgical management of all head and neck conditions. He performs a wide range of surgeries to manage head and neck issues, biopsy areas of concern and remove tumors. He also specializes in reconstructive surgery of the head and neck. Dr. Larson was the first surgeon to perform transoral robotic surgery (TORS) using the da Vinci SP system. This procedure is a minimally invasive procedure to remove cancer from the back of the throat.
Through a multidisciplinary team approach, Dr. Larson and his staff are committed to helping you feel educated on your condition and informed on your treatment options. Together, they will find the best option for your individual situation that allows for the best possible life outcomes.
