Our team has specialized training in almost all ENT specialties. If you or your children have any ear, nose or throat issues, visit one of our doctors to get the help you need.

Care that’s right for you
Wellstar ENTs provide excellent care during more than 45,000 visits each year. They make sure the care you receive is right for you. Some care plans may include medicine or surgery. Our ENTs typically work as part of a team including primary care providers, pediatricians or other specialists. We’d love to help you feel better.

Advanced surgical care
For some adults and children, surgery may be the best option. Our highly skilled surgeons have experience from thousands of procedures each year. We offer the latest techniques and technologies.

Patients have access to a full range of ear, nose and throat procedures at Wellstar. They include but are not limited to surgery for the thyroid, parathyroid, salivary gland, sinuses, middle ear, larynx, airway, skull base and complex pediatric conditions. Our program also offers hypoglossal nerve stimulator implants, facial plastic surgery and complex excision and reconstruction for head and neck cancer.

Complex Pediatric ENT
Some pediatric conditions related to the ear, nose and throat (ENT) can be more challenging to address. That’s why Wellstar has ENT doctors just for kids. Families can team up with these doctors to get the care their kids need.

We offer a thorough examination in a comfortable, family-friendly environment. We help children with infections, neck masses and other problems related to breathing, feeding, swallowing, hearing, sleeping, voice and speech.
