What can an an ENT do?

Our ENT physicians are trained in the diagnosis, treatment and management of ear, nose and throat disorders. We diagnose and treat all ENT-related disorders.

When should you visit an allergist?

See an ENT if you experience frequent hoarseness or have a sore throat. Notice a lump or swelling in your neck that lasts longer than two weeks. You stop breathing or snore while you sleep. You have had at least four sinus infections in a year. Your nasal symptoms get worse in the spring, summer or fall. You experience congestion, sinus headaches, or facial pressure. You have a sudden hearing loss.

What are the allergy treatment steps?

The steps to treatment include scheduling an appointment, preparing for your visit and setting your first-time visit expectations.

How are ENT conditions tested?

Your doctor will typically examine your ears and sinuses using an otoscope, visually examine your throat and tonsils and feel your neck for lumps. Depending on your reason for visiting, further testing, including X-rays or CT scans, may be requested before a diagnosis can be made.
