MEEI Clinical Areas

Founded in 1824 by Drs. Edward Reynolds and John Jeffries as a one-room clinic to treat Boston's needy, the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary has earned an international reputation for its successful treatment of the most difficult diseases and conditions of the eye, ear, nose, throat, head and neck, and for its outstanding contributions to medical research and education.

• U.S. News & World Report magazine has ranked MEEI in the top five in one or both of its specialties (ophthalmology and otolaryngology) each year since the magazine began publishing its annual survey of hospitals in 1990. In 2006, the Infirmary ranked 3rd for ENT and 4th for Opthalmology.
• JCAHO accreditation

The two main clinical areas for MEEI are otolaryngology and ophthalmology. Links to all the areas of these departments, as well as links for all the clinical departments, are found below.
