Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT)

Your ENT Care: The Baptist Difference

What do allergies, balance disorders, sleep apnea and hearing loss have in common? They are all treated by otolaryngologists, popularly known as ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialists. Speech, hearing, sleep and eating can be affected by disorders in the ear, nose and throat.

Our ENT medical services cover the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases that affect these closely linked areas of your body. Baptist’s otolaryngology specialists may also work closely with other physicians and therapists, such as audiologists, endocrinologists, speech pathologists, sleep specialists and general surgeons.
