Otolaryngology is otherwise known as medicine that deals with the ear, nose and throat (ENT). Otolaryngologists diagnose, treat and often provide surgical care for those with ear, nose and throat disorders and diseases in the head and neck.
Kansas City magazine’s annual Top Doctors list is compiled by a trusted national health care research and information company, Castle Connolly. A physician-led team of researchers follows a rigorous screening process to select top doctors through a nomination process that is open to all licensed physicians in America. The results are then carefully screened. Doctors do not and cannot pay to be selected for the Top Doctors list.

Dr. Aberle has been with Ascentist Ear, Nose & Throat for five years and treats a full spectrum of ENT-related conditions, though she has a special interest in advanced sinus surgery and pediatric ENT. Additionally, Dr. Aberle credits her experience as a mother to her ability in providing comforting care to her smallest patients and their families. A unique aspect of her practice is that she offers to pray with patients before surgery. “Going to sleep for surgery can be a stressful experience for patients and their families,” she says. “Asking if a prayer would help can provide a sense of calm to those families.”
