By: Owner We hope to create a healing environment within which can develop a patient-physician relationship of mutual understanding, mutual responsibility and shared decision-making. We hope to assist you in defining and maintaining your preferred optimal level of wellness and quality of life. DOCTORS AND STAFF At San Francisco-Peninsula ENT Associates we recognize that your choice of healthcare provider is driven by the training, competency and personality of the provider as well as convenience, insurance and other pricing issues. With ear, nose and throat (otolaryngology) Steven T. Kmucha Dr. Kmucha is board certified in the medical specialty of otolaryngology- Mike, Practice Manager Kate, Front Office Manager Frances, Nurse/Allergy Technician Elmer, Medical Assistant/Certified Otolaryngology Technician Sarika, Audiologist Liezel, Hearing Aid Dispenser SERVICES Ears: Conditions that impair ear function can be as minor as wax buildup or as serious as congenital deafness. Throat: Maladies of the throat can be a mere nuisance or a major ordeal. Tonsillitis, voice disorders, and even hoarseness all interfere with our ability to communicate. Many of these conditions can be improved or corrected with the care of an ENT physician or head and neck surgeon. Nose and Mouth: Congestion, allergic rhinitis, a deviated septum, and mouth sores are just a few of the varied health problems that occur in this region of the body. Head and Neck Surgery: Many surgical advances are being made in this area. Procedures such as tonsillectomy and facial plastic surgery are becoming less invasive, and new procedures are being developed to treat serious problems such as cleft palate, sleep apnea, and deafness. Cancer: Early detection is critical to preventing fatal outcomes. Cancers of the head and neck such as laryngeal cancer can be particularly aggressive. Signs of cancer of the head and neck include changes in the skin, pain, prolonged hoarseness, and sudden loss of voice. If you suffer from any of these symptoms you should see an ENT or head and neck physician immediately. Pediatric: Children face many of the same health problems that adults do, however symptoms may show themselves differently and treatment methods that work well in adults may not be appropriate for children.

I had headaches and pressure in my nose and face for over 3 years. My family doc assumed I had sinus problems and prescribed dozens of courses of antibiotics. I finally went to Dr Kmucha who asked lots of detailed questions, even more than my GP. Dr K explained why people (and their docs) often assume that a patient has sinus problems when they dont, and he explained how I could avoid that in the future. Dr K also explained the risks to me and to the environment of unnecessary antibiotics. After he discussed all the many options and their strengths and weaknesses, I decided that I would only get the information that would calm my mind if I had some xrays. Dr K sat and reviewed the xrays with me for more than a half hour; incidentally the sinuses were completely normal. Dr K started me on some medicine for nasal inflammation, and my symptoms went completely away. Also Dr K found a small pituitary tumor on my xrays which the radiologist missed; Dr K also arranged for a great endocrinologist, and the pituitary things is under control too. ~ I met dr. Kmucha through a business opportunity. I asked him a few quick questions about my father's condition with dizziness, pressure, and noises in his left ear. We had suspected it was Menier's. But he didn't think so from what I described and his age and being a man instead of a woman. He called his office and took my father in the very next day. My father has seen a ENT specialist already, and could not diagnose the problem, had blood test done, MRI on his brain. And Nothing !. Dr. Kmucha took his time and throughly checked him out and baseed on his previous test results, and brain scans, diagnosed his problem and described my father's symptom to a T. My father agrees with all of his analysis of what happens and when it happens. No big issue. We are all very reliefed. He was patient, and very detail oriented, very funny. One of the best doctors I've ever visited. ~ Excellent doctor. I see him more than my gyno or PCP because I trust him and love his availability. He is incredibly smart and has a great sense of humor. ~ I have been going to Dr Kmucha for 2 1/2 years. I've seen him every week for my allergy shots. I no longer need to take allergy pills anymore. He's been very helpful and knowledgeable. Dr Kmucha has a great sense of humor. I am thankful and appreciative of his services. I would gladly refer him to anyone who is need of an ENT doctor or allergists. Francis (Dr assistant) and Kate (Receptionist) ~ I've seen him a few times, got a minor medical procedure done, and I'm happy every visit. He was very professional, explained things in an easy-to-understand way, and considerate. When I asked him if he can see my husband who is often suffering from allergy, he happily took appointment with him. My husband is extremely happy with his service as well. End
