HNO Praxis Milchbuck 

WELCOME

Welcome to the ENT Practice Milchbuck.

Our specialized practice for ear, nose, and throat diseases treats both children and adults, usually upon referral by a general practitioner.

In addition to general ENT care, our specialties include head and facial surgery, pediatric ENT issues, snoring and sleep apnea, as well as ultrasound diagnostics. Since April 2019, we have also been offering in-depth dizziness assessments.

360° ENT

Our ENT practice offers comprehensive diagnostics and treatment for all diseases affecting the throat, mouth, nose, face, sinuses, and the auditory and vestibular systems.

Depending on the case, either conservative or surgical treatments are applied. Minor procedures are performed in the practice whenever possible, while major surgeries are conducted in a clinic.

We follow the increasing trend towards subspecialization. Our doctors have extensive expertise in one or more subfields of otolaryngology:

Specialties

Head and Neck Surgery

As a longtime senior member of the Head and Facial Surgery Department at the University Hospital Zurich, Dr. Widmer has extensive experience in head and neck surgery. His expertise includes tumor treatment in this field, as well as sinus, salivary gland, thyroid, and parathyroid surgery.

Pediatric ENT

Dr. de Trey completed a fellowship in pediatric ENT in London, a unique qualification since this training does not exist in Switzerland. Additionally, both she and Dr. Widmer worked as senior physicians in the ENT department at the Zurich Children's Hospital for two years. They have extensive experience in caring for young patients with patience and understanding.

Snoring and Sleep Apnea

Dr. Appiah received four years of specialized training at the Sleep Center of ENT Mannheim, one of the world's leading institutions in sleep medicine. Dr. Widmer led the Interventional Sleep Medicine and Snoring Consultation at the University Hospital Zurich for six years and, since 2023, has chaired the Swiss ORL Society’s Working Group on Snoring and Sleep Apnea.

PD Dr. Ettlin is an internationally renowned specialist in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. In this context, he is also highly experienced in fitting oral appliances, which are frequently used in the treatment of snoring and sleep apnea.

We embrace interdisciplinary collaboration and can provide the most suitable treatment for you—all under one roof.

Ultrasound Diagnostics

For many ENT conditions, ultrasound is an optimal diagnostic alternative in terms of accuracy and cost. We hold the official certification for neck ultrasound. Additionally, Dr. Widmer supervised the ultrasound training for assistants at the University Hospital Zurich for six years.

Dizziness

Dr. Spiegelberg is an otoneurologist, meaning she is a specialist in dizziness disorders. In addition to her work as an ENT physician, she serves as a senior physician in neurology at the Cantonal Hospital Baden, where she leads the dizziness consultation. Her rare combination of expertise allows her to assess even complex cases with confidence.
