- Chronic Sinusitis: An ENT specialist treats chronic sinusitis, a condition characterized by ongoing inflammation in the sinuses, often involving medication, nasal irrigation, and sometimes surgery.
- Cough: If you have a cough that won't go away, an ENT specialist can determine the cause, whether it's related to allergies, post-nasal drip, or a more serious condition.
- Acute Pharyngitis: A sore throat that comes on quickly is called acute pharyngitis; your ENT specialist can determine the cause and provide relief with appropriate treatment options.

- Head and Neck Cancer: Cancers affecting the head and neck region are treated by ENT specialists, who often coordinate care with other medical professionals for optimal outcomes.

- Mixed Hearing Loss: Experiencing mixed hearing loss? This means damage in both the inner and outer/middle ear is affecting your ability to hear, and an ENT doctor can assess your hearing and recommend appropriate management.
- Adenoiditis: An ENT doctor can help diagnose and manage adenoiditis, an infection or inflammation of the adenoids that can lead to various symptoms like ear infections or breathing problems.

- Hearing Screening: A hearing screening is a quick test to check how well you hear different sounds.
- Ablation or Excision of Nasal Turbinates: To relieve chronic nasal obstruction, a doctor might surgically remove or reduce part of the nasal turbinates.
- Sleep Study: During a sleep study, you'll sleep in a comfortable setting while sensors track your sleep patterns, allowing for accurate diagnosis of sleep-related issues.
- Ethmoidectomy (Sinus Surgery): During this sinus surgery, your doctor removes a portion of the ethmoid bone to improve sinus ventilation and reduce the frequency of infections.
- 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.
- Radiofrequency Ablation Turbinate: Suffering from persistent nasal blockage? Radiofrequency ablation shrinks swollen nasal tissue to improve airflow and reduce stuffiness.
- Ear Tube Placement: Ear tubes are small, hollow tubes surgically inserted into the eardrum to drain fluid from the middle ear, often resolving hearing loss and reducing the frequency of ear infections.
- Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES): FEES is a test that uses a thin, flexible scope with a camera to examine your throat and see how well you swallow.
- Nose Plastic Surgery (Rhinoplasty): Nose plastic surgery changes the size, shape, or proportion of your nose to enhance facial harmony and boost confidence.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving ENT care with Dr. Wyatt:
- What kind of conditions does an ENT specialist treat?
- Dr. Wyatt, 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. Wyatt's office accepts most 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 their referral policy 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 buildup in the ear that impacts hearing. The tiny tubes help ventilate the middle ear and prevent fluid buildup. Dr. Wyatt can evaluate your child to determine if they are a good candidate for this common and safe procedure.
- 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. Dr. Wyatt can perform tests to diagnose the cause of vertigo, which often originates in the inner ear.
- 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 happening 4 or more times a year), or if your primary care doctor's treatments aren't helping, Dr. Wyatt can help. He can perform a nasal endoscopy to evaluate the underlying cause.
- 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. Wyatt, an ENT specialist, can examine the entire airway to identify blockages and offer treatments, including surgery, not available from other sleep specialists.
- 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 crucial to seek evaluation. Dr. Wyatt can perform a laryngoscopy to identify the cause, which could include acid reflux, vocal cord nodules, or other conditions.
- 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. Dr. Wyatt is an expert in diagnosing head and neck masses and can perform a thorough examination, including a biopsy if needed, to determine the cause.
