-
Work with your immune system to prevent infection
-
Protect your face from injury
-
Moisten and filter air going into your lungs
-

Do I Need a Referral to See an ENT Specialist?
You do not need a referral to see one of our otolaryngologists. However, we highly recommend that you first schedule a visit with a primary care doctor, who can diagnose and treat many ear, nose, and throat conditions. He or she will also determine when you need the help of an ENT doctor and provide a referral.
Your insurance carrier may also require you to get an ENT referral from your primary care doctor in order to have your treatments covered. Before you visit one of our ENT specialists, ask your insurance provider about what is covered or required under your policy.
Our ENT doctors offer specialized care, so getting treatment at a primary care clinic or urgent care for minor ENT issues will allow our specialists to see patients who need them the most.
