Ear, nose, and throat (ENT) health affects how you breathe, hear, speak, and feel every day. An ENT doctor, also known as an ear, nose, and throat specialist, is trained to diagnose and treat conditions involving the ears, nose, throat, and related structures of the head and neck.

Otolaryngologists are physicians trained in the medical and surgical management and treatment of patients with diseases and disorders of the ear, nose, throat, and related structures of the head and neck. 

Our ear, nose, and throat doctors can diagnose and manage diseases of the sinuses, larynx (voice box), oral cavity, and upper pharynx (mouth and throat), as well as structures of the neck and face. Otolaryngologists also diagnose, treat, and manage specialty-specific disorders and many advanced primary care problems in both children and adults.

At ENT & Allergy Associates, our specialists provide care for both children and adults with a wide range of conditions, including sinus infections, hearing loss, throat pain, and voice and swallowing disorders. Using advanced diagnostic tools and coordinated specialty care, we develop personalized treatment plans designed to improve comfort and long-term health.

An otolaryngologist also manages congenital (birth) disorders of the outer and inner ear.

Building on this expertise, our specialists provide comprehensive hearing evaluations through audiology services and advanced hearing tests to determine the cause of hearing concerns.

Advanced Sinus and Nasal Care, Procedures, and Surgery

About 40 million people develop chronic sinusitis and rhinosinusitis each year, making them some of the most common health complaints in America. Care of the nasal cavity, nosebleeds, and sinuses is one of the primary skills of otolaryngologists. Management of the nasal area includes allergies and sense of smell. Breathing through and the appearance of the nose are also part of otolaryngologists’ expertise. Postnasal drips can be treated under the care of an ENT doctor. Some headaches are related to sinus issues.

Our team provides comprehensive sinus infection treatment for conditions such as chronic sinusitis, nasal congestion, nasal polyps, and deviated septum.

Treatment options may include medication, allergy management through allergy, asthma, and immunology services, or minimally invasive procedures such as septoplasty. Advanced care is also available through our sinus and skull base program.

Throat, Voice, and Swallowing Disorders

Communicating (speech and singing) and eating a meal all involve this vital area. Also specific to otolaryngologists is expertise in managing diseases of the larynx (voice box) and the upper aero-digestive tract or esophagus, including voice and swallowing disorders.

Our specialists treat:

• Hoarseness and voice strain
• Vocal cord disorders
• Chronic sore throat
• Swallowing problems
• Tonsil and adenoid conditions

Patients may benefit from evaluation through voice and swallowing services, as well as coordinated care through sleep services for conditions such as sleep apnea.

Head and Neck Specialty Care

This part of the body includes the important nerves that control sight, smell, hearing, and the face. In the head and neck area, otolaryngologists are trained to treat infectious diseases, both benign and malignant tumors, facial trauma, thyroids and parathyroids, and deformities of the face. They perform both cosmetic plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Expanded care includes diagnosis and treatment of thyroid and parathyroid disorders, nerve conditions, and structural abnormalities through specialized surgical services.
