    I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago. At an early age, I felt I could best help people by being a doctor. I fell in love with otolaryngology during medical school, fascinated by the anatomy of the head and neck, especially the ear. This led me to a fellowship in hearing (otology), how the brain helps us hear (neurotology) and skull base surgery. Finding and treating ear illness early is so important to preventing hearing loss, dizziness and facial weakness. Happy, healthy, hearing children function better at home and at school — and have a much better chance of reaching their full potential in life as they grow and learn. Not being able to hear well affects every part of a child’s life. So I am passionate about hearing health and committed to finding a way to maximize the hearing ability of every child I treat. I am especially interested in the areas of:Chronic ear diseaseCholesteatomaCochlear implantationHearing lossAcoustic neuromaEar canal atresiaAuditory neuropathyLateral skullbase encephalocelesMicrotia/AtresiaVestibular schwanommas My team, including our nurses and audiologists, are all focused on individualizing care for each child. We have many state-of-the-art options available, from surgical procedures to non-surgical treatments and hearing technologies. Dr. Patni is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Malignant Otitis Externa. His top areas of expertise are Cholesteatoma, Otitis, Acoustic Neuroma, Myringotomy, and Tissue Biopsy.

    Dr. Elias is a native Floridian who grew up in Titusville. She went to medical school at the University of Miami School of Medicine and did her residency at Arnold Palmer Hospital. She also has a Masters in Public Health from Johns Hopkins University. She has three children whose age span ranges from elementary school to young adult. Growing up, my role model was my father — a physician who practiced until he was 81 years old. But I chose children because I am grateful for the opportunity to make an impact on a child's development. I love all children, from babies to teenagers. As a parent myself, I like to mentor and help other parents deal with behavioral issues and getting past the tough toddler years. I’m passionate about good health and nutrition. I tend to take a whole-body approach to children’s healthcare and consider how nutrition, sleep and exercise can have an impact on their well-being. I make a point of giving each family and child the attention they deserve. I take the time to address all their concerns, knowing that every question is important. Dr. Elias is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Malignant Otitis Externa. Her top areas of expertise are Food Allergy, Common Cold, Obesity in Children, and Parainfluenza.

    What is the definition of Malignant Otitis Externa?

    Malignant otitis externa is a disorder that involves infection and damage of the bones of the ear canal and at the base of the skull.

    When should I see a Malignant Otitis Externa doctor near Orlando, FL?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing a Malignant Otitis Externa doctor near Orlando, FL?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Malignant Otitis Externa doctors near Orlando, FL?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Malignant Otitis Externa doctors near Orlando, FL?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with a Malignant Otitis Externa doctor near Orlando, FL?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Malignant Otitis Externa doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Malignant Otitis Externa doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with a Malignant Otitis Externa doctor near Orlando, FL?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Malignant Otitis Externa doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Malignant Otitis Externa doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Malignant Otitis Externa doctors near Orlando, FL?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Malignant Otitis Externa doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find a Malignant Otitis Externa doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Malignant Otitis Externa doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
