About Us

Welcome to Metropolitan ENT & Facial Plastic Surgery

At Metropolitan ENT & Facial Plastic Surgery, our mission is simple: to provide exceptional, compassionate, and comprehensive care for patients of all ages in the Alexandria and Northern Virginia community.

Founded in 1996 by Dr. Michael Abidin as a solo practice, Metropolitan ENT has grown into a thriving multi-specialty group while remaining true to its patient-centered roots. What began as one physician’s vision has expanded into a collaborative team of board-certified otolaryngologists, facial plastic surgeons, audiologists, advanced practice providers, and support staff working together to deliver outstanding care.

Our physicians are ENT specialists educated and trained at some of the nation’s most prestigious medical schools and residency programs, bringing advanced expertise and innovation directly to our patients.

We believe every patient deserves personalized care. That is why we take the time to listen, educate, and create treatment plans tailored to your needs, lifestyle, and goals. From routine check-ups to complex surgeries, our team blends cutting-edge medicine with a compassionate approach because your health and confidence are always our priority.
