When you schedule regular visits with a certified ENT doctor, you can ensure you get the right diagnosis and the right treatment solutions to benefit you long term.

What we do at OAT
If you're looking for an ear, nose, and throat doctor, you'll probably want to get a grasp of what an otolaryngologist is first. Otolaryngologists are physicians who specialize in the treatment of disorders of the head, neck, and sinuses.
They must also be trained in otology ear disorders, rhinology nose and sinus disorders, allergies, thyroid and parathyroid surgery, throat cancer, salivary gland surgery, sleep apnea surgery, and pediatric ear, nose, and throat conditions. In addition to hearing impairments, oral cancer prevention and air quality problems, these specialists can help address a wide range of health issues.
Regular & Seasonal Allergies
A visit to your local ENT specialist could be helpful for someone who suffers from regular general allergies or seasonal allergies. Seasonal allergies are becoming increasingly common in Middle Tennessee because of hundreds of airborne allergens. You should schedule an ENT appointment if you notice changes in your breathing patterns as the seasons change.
At OAT, our allergists have many years of experience successfully diagnosing and treating seasonal and airborne allergies. Having identified your allergens, we'll create a tailored treatment plan, including OTC medications and lifestyle changes, prescription medications, environmental control, or immunotherapy allergy treatments. The only way to ensure that your allergies do not control your life is to schedule regular ENT appointments.
Contact Otolaryngology Associates of Tennessee for your nasal and sinus issues.
