About Us


Improving Health and Enhancing Your Quality of Life

Whether you’re dealing with a common condition like seasonal allergies or want to better understand and address symptoms that concern you, we offer a full range of services to help you feel better. Our otolaryngologists specialize in diagnosing and treating disorders of the ears, nose and throat (ENT) in adults and children. Our specialists bring knowledge, experience and the expertise of the entire Wellstar team to your care.

Getting an accurate diagnosis is the first step in getting treatment that will improve your symptoms so you can feel better sooner. At Wellstar, we offer a wide range of screening and testing options to pinpoint the source of your discomfort so your doctor can get you on the road to recovery.

Our Care Team

Every ear, nose or throat condition is different, so each person’s treatment must be, as well. That’s why our skilled and caring team will work with you to find the treatment that’s best for your unique circumstances.

At Wellstar, our ENT team includes board-certified physicians with specialty training in many different areas all working together to provide the best possible care for you and your loved ones. Because of the complex nature of many ear, nose and throat conditions, specialists like these may contribute to your care, including:

  • Audiologists
  • Endocrinologists
  • Neurologists and neurosurgeons
  • Oncologists
  • Plastic surgeons
  • Pulmonologists
  • Sleep medicine specialists
  • Speech-language pathologists
Additional Services

  • Allergy Testing
  • Hearing Care
  • Non-surgical Therapies
  • Advanced Surgical Techniques

Allergy Testing

Both persistent and seasonal allergies can create bothersome symptoms, such as nasal congestion, itchy nose and throat, or sneezing. Ear infections and recurring sinus problems may sometimes be linked to allergens, which are substances we encounter that are harmless to many people, but cause an uncomfortable, sometimes dangerous immune system reaction in others.

We can evaluate your symptoms and provide testing if allergies are suspected. Once we determine the source of the problem, we offer education, medications and allergy shots to help you manage your condition and alleviate symptoms that disrupt your daily life.

Hearing Testing and Assistive Devices

What we hear connects us to the world and the people around us. Our ears enable us to communicate, help us learn and keep us safe. It may come as a surprise to learn that hearing problems aren’t always easy to recognize. That’s why screenings at regular intervals are recommended to help identify hearing loss that might otherwise go undetected — and why your doctor may recommend one if you’re experiencing related symptoms.

When hearing loss is identified, our Wellstar audiologists offer additional testing to better understand the cause of your hearing loss and its severity. Based on the results, your doctor can recommend treatment tailored to your unique needs, which may include assistive devices such as hearing aids, cochlear implants or bone-anchored hearing devices.

Non-surgical Therapies

While there are a wide variety of medical treatments for ENT disorders, whenever possible we begin with the most conservative therapies to help you find relief. These include home remedies, lifestyle changes and medications, but, depending on your needs, might also include speech therapy, allergy shots or assistive hearing devices, for instance.

Advanced Surgical Techniques

When surgery is your best treatment option, you can count on our expert ENT specialists to use the most advanced surgical procedures, including image-guided surgery and robotic procedures. In many cases, surgery can be performed with minimally invasive techniques. When compared to traditional open surgery, minimally invasive procedures often result in less discomfort, better results and a faster recovery.

Transforming Head & Neck Cancer Care with Transoral Robotic Surgery

Wellstar is at the forefront of providing comprehensive head and neck cancer care, offering advanced treatments like transoral robotic surgery (TORS). Head and neck cancer specialist Dr. Kia Jones said the minimally invasive surgical approach is primarily used for tumors in the oropharynx—the area of the throat which includes the tonsil and the root of the tongue, also known as the tongue base.

“In this procedure, the surgeon accesses the cancer by passing tools through the mouth to the area of concern without external incisions,” said Dr. Jones, an expert in head and neck cancer surgery and microvascular reconstructive surgery.

She explained TORS is performed with the aid of the da Vinci robotic surgical system.

“The surgeon sits at a console, controlling the robot and instruments under high-definition camera visualization to remove tumors completely in areas that are inaccessible to the surgeon's hands,” she said.

The benefits of TORS

People who undergo TORS often experience shorter hospital stays, less postoperative pain and quicker return to normal activities compared to traditional surgical methods. After surgery, these patients can generally eat within a day and are discharged within one to three days, with no need for neck breathing or stomach feeding tubes.

Who may consider TORS

TORS is particularly beneficial for patients with early-stage oropharyngeal tumors, especially HPV-driven squamous cell cancers, which tend to occur in younger individuals. TORS offers an additional treatment option that may be a better fit for some patients than primary radiation, which has been the standard of care standard of care for oropharyngeal cancers as traditional surgical approaches with large open incisions fell out of favor.

5 Strategies to Strengthen Your Mental Health

Mental health is an essential part of whole-person care. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or want to build resilience, small steps can make a big impact.

At Wellstar, we’re here to support your mental well-being and help you thrive. Our Behavioral Health team offers specialized care close to home, so you can feel your best both physically and mentally.

Here are five expert-backed strategies to help protect your mental health and strengthen your overall wellness.

Pay attention to early signs of stress.

Recognizing stress early is key to managing it effectively. When stress becomes chronic, it can affect both your mental and physical health. Learning to identify warning signs can help you take action before it escalates.

This is true across all areas of life, including the workplace, where job stress can quietly build over time and lead to more serious mental health concerns if left unaddressed.

“Paying attention to feelings of emotional exhaustion and general cynicism is important,” said Dr. Ryan Breshears, a board-certified clinical health psychologist and chief behavioral health officer at Wellstar. “Those are the foundational signs of occupational burnout, which certainly affects our well-being in the workplace, but when unchecked, can also spill over into our personal lives.”

That spillover can show up as irritability, mood changes, social withdrawal or insomnia. “Any of those could point to a problem that warrants intervention,” Dr. Breshears said.

Treat your whole health to support your mental well-being.

Mental and physical health are deeply interconnected—and we shouldn’t treat them in silos. At Wellstar, integrated care is a key part of our approach.

“I think the days of talking about problems that are physical problems versus mental problems are over,” said Dr. Breshears. “We have a body of research now and decades of science that show the interplay between the physical and the emotional.”

He explained that changes in thinking patterns can trigger physiological shifts in heart rate, stress hormone levels and more. Recognizing these mind-body connections can help you take a more proactive approach to your mental health.

“Wellstar is making a concerted effort to deconstruct old ideas about mental health and remove barriers to access,” Dr. Breshears added. “For example, we’re bringing behavioral health into primary care, cardiac care, pediatrics and women’s health. We want to strategically integrate behavioral health services wherever patients are receiving care.”

By treating the whole person and bringing behavioral health into every corner of healthcare, Wellstar is helping people take charge of their well-being in a way that’s compassionate, connected and convenient.

Prioritize recovery.

Stress is inevitable, and recovery is essential. Without it, your mind and body stay in overdrive, increasing your risk for burnout and long-term health issues. Taking time to recover is not a sign of weakness—it’s a strategy for resilience.

“Our bodies are designed to return to baseline, what we call homeostasis, after high-stress periods,” Dr. Breshears said. “Research suggests it's often the failure to prioritize recovery, not the stress itself, that actually contributes to the most lasting problems.”

Dr. Breshears shared a study comparing elite marathon runners to non-elite runners. The surprising finding? Elite runners were better at identifying stress early and adjusting their pace to recover, ultimately helping them perform better.

That same principle can apply to your mental health. If you notice signs of stress—like fatigue, irritability or changes in focus—take time to reset. That might mean getting more sleep, going for a walk, reaching out to a friend or seeking professional support.

Being intentional about recovery helps you maintain balance, build resilience and continue showing up for what matters most.

Nurture relationships and workplace well-being.

Meaningful relationships are a powerful buffer against stress. For many people, the workplace is a central source of community—and a critical place to nurture mental health.

“We’re social creatures,” said Dr. Breshears. "Having environments where people come in and feel good about their day-to-day interactions is really important.”

Dr. Breshears said it starts with employers being committed to understanding the inadvertent threats to their team’s well-being and removing barriers to care.

“First, I think we have to pay attention to the occupational drivers of stress on our employees and commit to resolving those issues,” he explained. “All of the human resources and benefits in the world will fail if we’re not also working upstream to eliminate the root causes. Secondly, we need to establish clear pathways so people can easily access support without all the stumbling blocks and delays they often run into.”

Employers who lead with empathy—and prioritize flexibility, compassion and connection alongside performance—help create cultures where people feel empowered to seek help when needed.

“We have to ensure that we have accessible resources,” Dr. Breshears said. “People bring their personal struggles into the workplace, and take their struggles in the workplace home. The lines have certainly blurred.”

Know when to seek help.

While self-care and support systems can go a long way, there are times when professional help is essential. Mental health conditions are common—and treatable. The sooner you seek help, the better.

This is especially true for men, who often face cultural and emotional barriers when it comes to seeking support.

“Men on average tend to delay help-seeking more than women,” Dr. Breshears said. “And this is especially true when men are suffering. Frankly, it's a mortality issue.” He noted that men are more likely to die by suicide and experience substance abuse disorders, which makes early intervention even more critical.

Dr. Breshears also emphasized the need to remove barriers and promote action: “We have to create environments in which people feel safe to talk about the struggles that they’re having.”

If you’re struggling, don’t wait. Explore Wellstar Behavioral Health services and find the support you need today.

Millenial Mole NEw

Highlights

Social Media Trend Has Millennials Scanning for ‘Millennial Mole’

Millennials across social media are finding that their generation has something in common: a mole in the same spot on their forearms. Dubbed the “millennial mole,” it is a small mole on the left forearm a couple of inches below the elbow. Millennials—people born between about 1981 and 1996—are taking to social media to show them off.

Dr. Kathryn Potter, a dermatologist at Wellstar MCG Health Medical Center, said she had not seen the social media trend but was intrigued.

“Of course, I had to look for myself and I have several on my left arm. I don’t know if that counts,” she said with a laugh.

If people are paying attention to moles, though, that’s a good thing. May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, and while most moles are harmless, it’s good to notice them from time to time to make sure they aren’t changing, which could be an indicator of skin cancer.

But what exactly are they?

Moles are caused by melanocytes—cells that contain a dark pigment that protects your skin from UV radiation—that cluster together. But it can be confusing sometimes.

“Not all brown things are moles,” Potter said. “There can be freckles, sunspots or benign lesions called seborrheic keratosis.”

Whichever it is, if it is growing, changing shape or color, or developing irregular borders, it should be evaluated by a dermatologist.

“As far as skin cancer goes, we worry that a mole can become a melanoma—although most melanomas arise de novo, meaning they come up on their own and not through existing moles,” Potter said. “But for moles, we watch to see if they start to evolve or change.”

Potter also said most people who develop true moles will develop them before the age of 40. Moles that arise later in adulthood should be checked by a dermatologist.

You should also perform skin checks at home periodically. There are no hard and fast rules for when you should perform a skin check, but taking a few minutes to scan them is always a good idea.

Prevention is always best. Whenever you’re out in the sun, wear sunscreen that is SPF 30 or higher and apply it about every two hours. Wear hats with broad rims and protective clothing and seek shade whenever possible.
