As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Moore III offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Acute Tonsillitis: When your tonsils become severely infected, causing a painful throat and fever, that's acute tonsillitis. An ENT doctor can diagnose the infection and create a treatment plan, potentially involving antibiotics or surgery.
- Allergic Rhinitis: Suffering from a runny nose, itchy eyes, and sneezing due to allergies? An ENT doctor can help you understand your allergies and develop a plan to relieve your allergic rhinitis symptoms.
- Head or Neck Lump or Swelling: Head or neck lumps and swellings require a medical evaluation to determine the underlying issue; an ENT specialist is equipped to diagnose and treat various causes, from infections to more serious conditions.
- Acute Sinusitis: Acute sinusitis is a short-term sinus infection marked by symptoms like headaches, facial pain, and nasal discharge; an ENT doctor provides effective diagnosis and treatment.
- Hearing Loss Due to Noise: An ENT doctor diagnoses and treats hearing loss from loud noises, offering solutions such as hearing aids, assistive listening devices, or in some cases, surgery.
- 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.
- Postnasal Drip: Postnasal drip is when mucus from your sinuses drains into the back of your throat, leading to discomfort. An otolaryngologist can help relieve your symptoms.
- Otosclerosis: Hearing loss can sometimes be caused by otosclerosis, a condition where the tiny bones in your middle ear become stiff, which an ENT doctor can help manage.
- Oral Cancer: Oral cancer, a type of cancer affecting the mouth, is diagnosed and treated by ENT doctors who may perform surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy depending on the stage and location.
- Hyperparathyroidism: Hyperparathyroidism is a condition where your parathyroid glands produce too much parathyroid hormone, potentially leading to bone problems, kidney stones, and other issues; an ENT surgeon can help diagnose and manage this condition, sometimes through surgery.
- Sleep Apnea: Characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep, sleep apnea can be diagnosed and treated by an ENT doctor who may suggest lifestyle changes, devices, or surgery.
- Nasal Polyp: If you have persistent nasal congestion and a runny nose due to nasal polyps, an ENT doctor can provide diagnosis and treatment options, such as medication or surgery.
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.
To provide comprehensive and patient-centered care, Dr. Moore III offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Ethmoidectomy (Sinus Surgery): This surgery clears blocked sinus passages, often helping to cure chronic sinus infections that haven't responded to other treatments.
- Hearing Screening: If you're experiencing hearing difficulties, a screening can determine the extent of the problem and guide further testing.
- Adenoidectomy: An adenoidectomy is a surgery to take out the adenoids, helping to clear your airways and potentially reduce the frequency of ear or sinus infections.
- Intranasal or Sinus Procedure: If you have sinus pain, pressure, or breathing problems, an intranasal or sinus procedure might help clear blockages and improve airflow.
- Ablation or Excision of Nasal Turbinates: This surgery targets enlarged tissue in the nose (nasal turbinates) that may be causing breathing difficulties, improving airflow and nasal breathing.
- Radiofrequency Ablation Turbinate: This procedure uses radio waves to reduce the size of the turbinates (bony structures in your nose), helping to alleviate nasal congestion and improve airflow.
- Sleep Study: A sleep study is a test that monitors your breathing, brain waves, heart rate, and other body functions while you sleep to diagnose sleep disorders.
- Laryngoscopy and Laryngotomy: A laryngotomy is a surgery that creates a temporary or permanent opening in the throat to bypass an obstruction, helping to ensure a patient can breathe properly.
- Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES): A FEES test helps doctors diagnose swallowing problems by looking at your throat and the movement of your tongue, lips, and throat muscles during swallowing.
- Tonsillectomy: This surgery involves removing the tonsils to alleviate issues like severe, repeated tonsillitis or obstructive sleep apnea.
- Parathyroidectomy: If your parathyroid glands are producing too much hormone, leading to high calcium, a parathyroidectomy might be necessary to remove the problematic gland(s).
- Thyroidectomy: If you have a thyroid condition that requires surgical intervention, a thyroidectomy is a procedure to remove the affected tissue.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving ENT care with Dr. Moore III:
- What kind of conditions does an ENT specialist treat?
- Dr. Moore III, an otolaryngologist, is a medical doctor and surgeon who treats a wide range of conditions affecting the head and neck. This includes ear problems (infections, hearing loss, dizziness), nasal and sinus issues (allergies, sinusitis, breathing problems), and throat conditions (voice disorders, swallowing problems, tonsillitis). He also specializes in thyroid surgery and head/neck tumors.
- Do I need a referral to see an ENT?
- Dr. Moore III's office accepts many insurance plans. While some, like HMOs, require a referral from your primary care physician, others, like PPOs, may not. Please contact your insurance provider to confirm referral requirements before scheduling an appointment.
- What is the difference between dizziness and vertigo?
- Dizziness is a general feeling of lightheadedness or unsteadiness. Vertigo is a specific type of dizziness, often characterized by a spinning sensation. Dr. Moore III can perform tests to diagnose the cause of vertigo, which frequently 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 should be checked by a medical professional. Dr. Moore III is an expert in diagnosing head and neck masses and can perform a thorough examination, including an in-office biopsy if needed, to determine the 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. Moore III, an ENT specialist, can examine the entire airway to identify the specific areas of blockage and offer treatments, including surgery, that other sleep specialists may not provide.
- What is a hearing test (audiogram) like?
- Dr. Moore III will conduct a simple, painless hearing test in a soundproof booth. You'll wear headphones and indicate when you hear tones of varying pitches and volumes. This helps him determine the type and degree of any hearing loss.
- 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 schedule an appointment with Dr. Moore III. He can perform a laryngoscopy to identify the cause, which could range from acid reflux to vocal cord nodules.
- 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. Moore III can evaluate your child to see if they are a good candidate for this common and safe procedure.
