When to make an appointment

Many ear, nose, and throat conditions, including ear infections, dizziness, rhinitis, and tonsillitis, go away on their own or with self-care. However, when your condition keeps coming back or lingers for a few weeks, it might be time to see an ENT specialist.

You should see an ENT specialist if you have:

• Chronic ear infections, especially in children
• Experience constant ringing in your ears
• Experience hoarseness lasting longer than two weeks
• Have a severe sore throat or a sore throat that lasts longer than a week
• Notice a lump on or around your neck
• Ongoing nasal congestion
• Recurring sinus pain or sinus infections
• Sudden or persistent hearing loss

Call us to schedule your appointment. No referral is necessary.
