As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Jordan offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Mixed Hearing Loss: With mixed hearing loss, parts of your ear aren't working correctly, leading to hearing problems. An ENT doctor can identify the exact issues and explore treatment options, like hearing aids or surgery.
- Pharyngitis: A persistent sore throat, or pharyngitis, can be assessed by an ENT doctor who can determine the underlying cause and offer appropriate treatment plans to relieve your symptoms.
- Thrush: If you have a fungal infection in your mouth, known as oral thrush, an ENT specialist can identify it and prescribe medication to help you recover.
- Nonsuppurative Otitis Media: Nonsuppurative otitis media is a middle ear infection without pus, causing earaches and hearing problems, treatable by an ENT doctor who might prescribe medication or recommend further tests.
- Laryngitis: If you've lost your voice or have a raspy voice due to inflamed vocal cords, an ENT specialist can help determine the cause and recommend treatment for laryngitis.
- Larynx Conditions: Laryngitis, nodules, and cancer are examples of conditions affecting the larynx (voice box). An otolaryngologist is the specialist to see for diagnosis and treatment.
- Oral Cancer: An ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist is qualified to identify and manage oral cancer, a cancer that develops in the mouth, through a variety of procedures and treatments.
- Sudden Deafness and-or Hearing Loss: Sudden hearing loss, where you experience a dramatic decrease in your ability to hear, is a medical emergency that requires immediate attention from an ENT specialist who can determine the cause and begin treatment promptly.
- Vocal Cord Nodule: Hoarseness or voice changes might be caused by a vocal cord nodule, a problem an ENT doctor can diagnose and treat, often with voice therapy or, in some cases, surgery.
- Throat Pain: An ENT specialist can help determine the cause of your throat pain, whether it's from a viral infection, strep throat, or another issue, and provide appropriate treatment.
- Labyrinthine Dysfunction: Dizziness and balance problems can stem from inner ear issues called labyrinthine dysfunction, which an ENT specialist can help manage.
- Common Cold: A common cold is a viral infection causing stuffy nose, sore throat, and cough; an ENT can help if it leads to more serious issues like ear infections or sinusitis.
This list represents some of the common conditions treated. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional.

- Laryngoscopy and Laryngotomy: Laryngoscopy uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera to examine your voice box (larynx) to diagnose problems like vocal cord nodules or polyps.
- Laryngoscopy - Laryngotomy - Laryngectomy - Pharyngolaryngectomy - Pharyngectomy: Laryngoscopy, laryngotomy, laryngectomy, pharyngolaryngectomy, and pharyngectomy are surgical procedures on the larynx (voice box) and/or pharynx (throat) used to diagnose and treat various conditions, ranging from vocal cord problems to throat cancer.

- Dacryocystorhinostomy: Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is a surgical procedure to relieve blocked tear ducts, improving drainage and reducing eye watering.
- Diagnostic Nasal and Sinus Endoscopy: This procedure involves a small camera being inserted into your nose to visualize your nasal passages and sinuses, helping your doctor identify the cause of your symptoms.
- Ear Surgery: Some ear surgeries aim to improve the function of the middle or inner ear, leading to better hearing and a reduction in symptoms like dizziness or ringing in the ears.
- Ablation or Excision of Nasal Turbinates: This procedure reduces the size of the nasal turbinates (tissues inside your nose) to improve breathing.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving ENT care with Dr. Jordan:
- What kind of conditions does an ENT specialist treat?
- Dr. Jordan, an otolaryngologist, is a medical doctor and surgeon who treats a wide range of conditions affecting the head and neck. He specializes in ear problems (infections, hearing loss, dizziness), nasal and sinus issues (allergies, sinusitis, breathing problems), and throat conditions (voice disorders, swallowing problems, tonsillitis). Dr. Jordan also has expertise in thyroid surgery and head/neck tumors.
- Do I need a referral to see an ENT?
- Dr. Jordan's office accepts many insurance plans. However, some, like HMOs, require a referral from your primary care physician. To avoid any potential issues, please check with your insurance provider to confirm referral requirements before scheduling an appointment.
- I have frequent sinus infections. When should I see an ENT instead of my primary care doctor?
- If you have chronic or recurrent sinus infections (lasting more than 12 weeks or happening 4 or more times a year), or if your primary care doctor's treatment isn't helping, Dr. Jordan can help. He can perform a nasal endoscopy to better evaluate the underlying cause of your sinus issues.
- Is it normal for my voice to be hoarse for a long time?
- Hoarseness from a cold or overuse should improve within a couple of weeks. If hoarseness persists longer than 2-3 weeks, it's important to see an ENT, like Dr. Jordan, for evaluation. Dr. Jordan can perform a laryngoscopy to identify the cause, which could include acid reflux, vocal cord nodules, or other issues.
- My child gets a lot of ear infections. Do they need ear tubes?
- Ear tubes, or tympanostomy tubes, are often recommended for children with recurrent ear infections or persistent fluid buildup in the ear that affects hearing. These tiny tubes help ventilate the middle ear and prevent fluid buildup. Dr. Jordan can evaluate your child to see if they are a good candidate for this common and safe procedure.
- What is a hearing test (audiogram) like?
- Dr. Jordan will conduct a simple, painless hearing test in a soundproof booth. You will wear headphones and indicate when you hear tones of different pitches and volumes. This helps him determine the type and degree of any hearing loss.
- What is the difference between dizziness and vertigo?
- Dizziness is a general feeling of lightheadedness or unsteadiness. Vertigo is a specific type of dizziness, characterized by a spinning sensation, as if you or the room is moving. Dr. Jordan can perform tests to diagnose the cause of vertigo, which often originates in the inner ear.
- I found a lump in my neck. What should I do?
- While many neck lumps are benign, like swollen lymph nodes from an infection, any persistent lump warrants evaluation by a medical professional. Dr. Jordan, an ENT specialist, is the expert in diagnosing head and neck masses. He can perform a thorough examination, and if needed, an in-office biopsy to determine the cause.
