ENT / Ear Nose Throat Care Starts with Getting to Know Our Patients

The first step in our ENT / Ear Nose Throat care is listening to our patients. This approach allows us to build a better relationship with our patients, because we can get to know their personalities, concerns, and needs.

Once we understand the person and the troubles they are having, we can then cater our testing and treatment recommendations to them.

This results in a better patient experience. Our ENT patients usually come to us because they are experiencing one or more of the following issues:

Our ENT department handles nose and sinus trouble, throat issues, dizziness and balance problems, ear issues, and thyroid problems. While all interconnected, these areas require a variety of technologies, equipment, and testing methodologies to accurately diagnose the full spectrum of ear, nose, and throat problems. While we are adequately equipped to diagnose and treat ailments affecting the ear and hearing, we are very excited that a state of the art audiology suite with an experienced audiologist is currently under construction. Lastly, we highly value patient safety and convenience.

Our goal isn't to operate on people; our goal is to make people feel better. Our practice focuses on minimally invasive treatment in all areas. If your problem can be resolved without surgery, it should be. Treatments are always recommended with patient comfort in mind. One advantage of our combined allergy, asthma, and ENT practice is that overlapping issues can be addressed all at once. Many ENT issues can be resolved without surgery because of associated allergy and / or asthma treatment.

For patients who actually do need surgery, our surgical facility is state-of-the-art. Our equipment is more advanced than what most hospitals have, and we are able to offer highly specialized procedures as a result. Most surgeries are done in our facility as outpatient procedures, and require only local anesthesia. We also coordinate with insurance beforehand to ensure that our patients aren't surprised with unexpected costs afterward.

ADVANCED ADULT SURGICAL PROCEDURES

  • sinus surgeries
  • septoplasty
  • balloon sinuplasty
  • turbinectomy

BENEFIT OF OUTPATIENT SURGERY

  • less expensive
  • faster recovery time (less time away from work, school, family, etc.)
  • statistically fewer complications and side effects than surgeries performed in hospitals
