Patrick J. Antonelli, MD - UF Health ENT and Allergy – The Oaks

I had suffered for months with an ear problem known medically as otitis media with effusion. In the old days it was known as glue ear. Simply put it is a build up of fluid in the middle ear. The local ENT had treated me for over three months with no help. When he started talking surgery I said no and went to see Dr Antonelli at Shands. He recommended a course that had me all cleared up within 2 days!

For over 20 years I've been seeing Dr. Antonelli and he is the only reason I can hear today. No matter how complicated or messed up my ears have gotten he has never given up on finding a solution to keep them working. I appreciate him and all he has done more than he will ever know.
