Board-certified in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery with a clinical fellowship in Otology and Neuro-Otology at the House Ear Group in Los Angeles, Dr. James E. Bush is a Medical College of Georgia graduate who completed his ENT residency at UC San Francisco from 1972 to 1976 and now practices at 3805 Front Street in Hillcrest. Diagnostic workups for hearing loss, vertigo, tinnitus, and cerumen impaction tie into head-and-neck imaging that patients pick up from Imaging Healthcare Specialists - Hillcrest for temporal bone CT and sinus protocols. Spanish-language consultations are offered directly, and Bush holds admitting privileges across the Sharp hospital network including Sharp Memorial, Sharp Grossmont, Sharp Chula Vista, Sharp Coronado, and El Centro Regional Medical Center. Surgical cases involving multidisciplinary head-and-neck tumor resection coordinate with Surgical Specialists Of San Diego when general or vascular surgical backup is required for advanced dissections. The most challenging work involves inner-ear balance disorders and neuro-otologic evaluation of patients with Meniere's disease, vestibular schwannoma, and labyrinthitis presenting with persistent disequilibrium.
