Ear, Nose, and Throat Doctors in Georgia

In addition to these specific areas, ENT doctors also manage conditions that affect multiple regions, such as head and neck cancers, facial trauma, and congenital abnormalities of the head and neck.

When to See an ENT

While primary care physicians provide excellent general healthcare, certain medical conditions require specialized knowledge. An ENT doctor becomes essential when dealing with complex ear, nose, and throat issues. This includes persistent ear discomfort, hearing irregularities, recurrent throat infections, and voice changes that don't resolve quickly.

One of the more common reasons to see an ENT doctor is to resolve a sinus infection, which is likely if you're experiencing flu-like symptoms for more than 2 weeks.

In some cases, it’s not clear what the cause of a condition is. If you are experiencing symptoms like recurring dizziness or vertigo, loud snoring and excessive daytime fatigue, an ENT doctor could confirm or rule out an ENT diagnosis.

What to Expect at an ENT Appointment in Georgia

Your first visit with your ENT is important. Your doctor will ask you about your medical history, which includes current symptoms, past medical issues and any family history of ENT-related conditions. Your doctor will most likely perform a physical examination of your ears, nose and throat. During your appointment, you will have the opportunity to discuss any concerns.

Based on your medical history, exam, and reported symptoms, you will receive a recommended treatment plan, which might include lifestyle modifications, prescription medications and allergy management strategies.

Some issues can’t be fully understood from a simple physical exam, so your doctor may also order additional tests or imaging studies. In more severe cases, your doctor may recommend a surgical intervention. Our providers can perform many of the recommended surgeries.

Follow up care is very important for many ENT conditions. Your doctor will recommend a future appointment to monitor your health and treatment progress.
