Otolaryngology (ENT)

Q: Do I need a referral to see an ENT?
A: Some insurance plans require a referral from a primary care provider, but many allow you to schedule directly with an ENT. Contact us to verify your plan.

Q: Can ENT doctors treat allergies?
A: Yes. Many ENTs diagnose and manage seasonal and environmental allergies, including testing and treatment with immunotherapy (allergy shots or drops).

Q: What’s the difference between ENT and audiology?
A: Audiologists specialize in hearing and balance evaluations, while ENTs handle the medical and surgical treatment of ear, nose, and throat conditions. They often work together for comprehensive care.
