Dr. Oscar Rolando Terraza Mejía

Profil

Dr. Oscar Terraza Mejía is an perfect example of the brightest young Guatemalan doctors graduating from the best medical schools in this decade, mastering the latest high-tech medical procedures that may not have even been considered only a generation ago. Dr. Terraza has been offering the full spectrum of “Ear, Nose & Throat” diagnostics, treatment and surgery, for children and adults, in Spanish and in English, at Centro Otorrinolaringológico, S.A. since 2014.

At the otorhinolaryngology clinic that he shares with five other specialists, Dr. Terraza can perform diagnostic testing, such as fiber optic laryngoscopy and sound-secluded audiometry for hearing loss, as well as routine ambulatory procedures. For more complicated or high-risk cases, he depends on the most highly-respected private hospitals in Guatemala City to provide the precise instrumentation and devoted personal care, to assure the best possible outcome for his patients, exactly as he had planned.

When hearing-impaired patients can identify sounds clearly and distinctly, some for the very first time, Dr. Terraza experiences a professional accomplishment and personal joy in providing a quality of life that these patients may not have thought possible. Dr. Terraza is certified by MED-El, the leading manufacturer of innovative medical devices and implantable hearing solution for the treatment of various types and degrees of hearing. Their products are the result of 30 years of focused research, and commitment to excellence.

When patients arrive at his office suffering from various seemingly unrelated symptoms like loss of balance, sore throat and runny nose, it may be more than just a common cold, but connected to something unseen and more severe.

• Allergic rhinitis is sometimes accompanied with impaired hearing and watery eyes.
• Ear Infections will affect 70% of children before their 6^th birthday, due to the Eustachian tube not being fully developed yet.
• Sinus Infections can happen at any point in the three pairs of sinuses, the tiny air chambers behind your forehead, eyes, and cheeks.
• Tonsillectomy may be required when theses glands in your throat, which normally fight infection, become infected and inflamed themselves.

Surgical procedures involving the ear, nose and throat are performed every day – minimally invasive, and reliably successful. To get a clear look and better access to the nasopharyngeal anatomy, Dr. Terraza might use a fibre optic scope to provide higher resolution, lighting, suction, and more effective instrument ports. Current fiber optic nasopharyngoscopes are lighted and flexible, with 2-way articulation, to provide inline viewing with photo and video capabilities for the surgeon to see the larynx, vocal chords, and sinus openings. Moreover, they can have a diameter as small as 2 mm, so they don’t disturb surrounding tissue.

Dr. Terraza is always available for emergency attention, but he says, “If you have an upper respiratory infection and over- the-counter medication is not working after 48 hours, then you should consult with the doctor in order to avoid any emergency.

To keep your flow of breath clean and unobstructed, it is best to get a comprehensive ENT check-up with a skilled specialist like Dr. Terraza. He has the patience and humor to win the trust of your children, and the confidence and precision to correctly evaluate your situation, to start you on a treatment plan right away so that all of your family are back to perfect health in no time.
