Here are answers to some common questions about receiving ENT care with Dr. Myers:
- What kind of conditions does an ENT specialist treat?
- Dr. Myers, 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). He also has expertise in thyroid surgery and head/neck tumors.
- Do I need a referral to see an ENT?
- Dr. Myers' office accepts many insurance plans. While some, like HMOs, require a referral from your primary care physician, others, like PPOs, do not. To avoid any potential issues, please check with your insurance provider about referral requirements before scheduling an appointment.
- 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 in the ear that affects hearing. The tiny tubes help ventilate the middle ear and prevent fluid buildup. Dr. Myers can evaluate your child to see if they are a good candidate for this common and safe procedure.
- I found a lump in my neck. What should I do?
- While many neck lumps are benign, like swollen lymph nodes from a common infection, any persistent lump warrants evaluation by a medical professional. Dr. Myers is an expert in diagnosing head and neck masses and can perform a thorough examination, including a biopsy if needed, to determine the cause.
- Is it normal for my voice to be hoarse for a long time?
- Hoarseness from a cold or overuse should resolve within a couple of weeks. If hoarseness lasts longer than 2-3 weeks, it's important to be evaluated by Dr. Myers. He can perform a laryngoscopy to diagnose the cause, which could range from acid reflux to vocal cord nodules or other issues.
- I have frequent sinus infections. When should I see an ENT instead of my primary care doctor?
- If you experience chronic or recurrent sinus infections (lasting more than 12 weeks or occurring 4 or more times per year), or if your primary care doctor's treatment isn't helping, Dr. Myers can help. He can perform a nasal endoscopy in the office to better evaluate the underlying cause of your sinus issues.
- What is sleep apnea and how can an ENT help?
- Sleep apnea is a condition where the airway repeatedly collapses during sleep, causing pauses in breathing. Dr. Myers, an ENT specialist, can examine the entire airway to identify blockages and offer treatments, including surgery, not available from other sleep specialists.
- What is the difference between dizziness and vertigo?
- Dizziness is a general feeling of lightheadedness or unsteadiness. Vertigo is a specific type of dizziness, a spinning sensation, often originating in the inner ear. Dr. Myers can perform tests to determine the cause of vertigo.
