Dr. William J. Parkes
Overview
Dr. William J. Parkes, IV, is a pediatric otolaryngologist (ear, nose and throat surgeon). His medical interests include hearing loss, cochlear implantation, chronic ear disease and cholesteatoma, tympanoplasty, endoscopic skull base surgery, thyroid and parathyroid surgery.Dr. Parkes first became involved with Nemours as a medical student and resident. After his fellowship at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, he made the choice to come back to Nemours to continue his career, where his practice focuses on the care of children with complex ear and hearing problems. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to work with children, while also having the trust of parents to care for their children surgically. When I can care for a child and provide an answer to medical problems it is incredibly rewarding. I’m most passionate about participating in the multidisciplinary care of children with complex head and neck problems. Examples include my work as the medical director of the Cochlear Implant Team, co-director of the Minimally Invasive Skull Base Surgery program (a partnership with Thomas Jefferson University physicians) and co-lead surgeon for the surgical care of children with thyroid and parathyroid problems at Nemours. I find every interaction with children and their families, big or small, a chance to make a difference. Whether in clinic or the operating room, there are multiple opportunities to be impactful every single day.
Dr. Parkes is highly rated in 15 conditions, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are Ruptured Eardrum, Enlarged Adenoids, Otitis, and Hearing Loss.
