 My name is John Roach. I'm an otolaryngologist affiliated at Bayshore Community Hospital. I've been an otolaryngologist for 17 years. I've been a physician for 23 years. I range from ear surgery to sinus surgery to general pediatric surgery, but I also do a lot of the more intense and specialty work, but I'm very broad-ranged. The most common pediatric conditions that I see are chronic ear infections, hearing loss, perforations or holes in the eardrum. We see a lot of obstructive sleep apnea associated with tonsil ananoid hypertrophy or enlargement of the tonsils in the anoids. I also see chronic nasal congestion, nasal obstruction, and chronic sore throats usually associated with chronic tonsillitis. I truly try to treat each patient as a family member. Every day I try to consider how it affects them, and when they go home, do they think to themselves that person really cared about what I was feeling and what, you know, did they care about me getting better? In the pediatric population, I try not to give them too many of the details as far as what I'm doing. With kids, I try to be much more interactive and playful with them. I interact with them more on just a personal, friendly, playful level. In adults, you have to be more cognizant of the fact that people are much better educated, and so they want to know the details. They want to know how many you've done, how often you've done it, how you do it, what you use, and what your outcomes are. I love working with kids, and I think kids are just their mindset and how innocent, and there's a phrase I heard when I was younger that children don't know not to ask the right question, and I think that freshness that they bring is just a wonderful experience.
