What happens during a same-day appointment?

Available same-day appointments differ depending on your needs. The team at Advanced ENT & Allergy tailors treatment to each individual’s symptoms and concerns.

How are ear, nose, and throat issues treated?

Treatment of ear, nose, and throat issues depends on various factors, including your age, the severity of your symptoms, and their effect on your quality of life. 

Whenever possible, the Advanced ENT & Allergy team recommends conservative measures of care, like healthy lifestyle changes, allergen avoidance, and prescription medication. 

Even so, certain issues require surgical intervention. The team specializes in both traditional open and minimally invasive surgical techniques and regularly performs operations onsite and at the hospital.
