Chart review was performed for patients referred to a volunteer otolaryngologist to confirm diagnoses and referrals.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n During the study period, the clinic served 11,690 unique patients in 59,060 patient visits. Otolaryngological diagnoses accounted for 8,959 of these total visits (15.2%), 94% of which were managed by primary care providers. The most common diagnoses were \u201cupper respiratory infections,\u201d \u201csymptoms, signs, and ill-defined conditions of the head and neck, cough, dysphagia,\u201d \u201cother diseases of upper respiratory tract,\u201d and \u201cdisorders of the ear\/mastoid process.\u201d An on-site volunteer otolaryngologist provided consultation on 6% of all patients with otolaryngological diagnoses, averaging 108 consultations per year; 39 patients were subsequently referred to community specialists for surgery and audiology services.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n There is a small but significant need for otolaryngologists in providing health care for homeless individuals in an urban setting.
