As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Jamison offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Pharyngitis: If you're struggling with a sore throat (pharyngitis), an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) doctor can accurately diagnose the problem and provide effective treatment options.
- Broken Nose: If you've injured your nose and suspect a fracture, an ENT specialist can assess the damage and recommend treatment, such as setting the bones or surgery.
- Vocal Cord Polyp: Hoarseness or voice changes might be caused by a vocal cord polyp, a small growth on your vocal cords. An otolaryngologist (ENT doctor) is the specialist to see for diagnosis and treatment.
- Eustachian Tube Dysfunction: Eustachian tube dysfunction occurs when the tiny tube linking your middle ear and throat becomes blocked or inflamed, leading to discomfort and hearing issues; an ENT doctor can assess and manage this problem.
- Vocal Cord Paralysis: Vocal cord paralysis makes it hard to talk normally because the cords don't vibrate correctly; an otolaryngologist can diagnose the underlying problem and offer solutions such as voice therapy or surgery to restore your voice.
- Tonsil Cancer: An ENT specialist is crucial in detecting and managing tonsil cancer, using various methods like biopsies, surgery, and other cancer treatments to address this type of throat cancer.
- Outer Ear Infection: Swimmer's ear is a type of outer ear infection that ENT doctors frequently treat, often using medications to eliminate the infection and relieve the symptoms.
- Sinusitis: Sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinuses, and an ENT doctor can diagnose and treat it with medications or surgery.
- Peritonsillar Abscess: Characterized by severe throat pain and difficulty swallowing, a peritonsillar abscess is a serious infection treated by an ENT specialist who can surgically drain the abscess and prescribe antibiotics.
- Acute Sinusitis: Experiencing sudden sinus pain, pressure, and congestion? This might be acute sinusitis, which an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) doctor can quickly assess and treat.
- Laryngeal Cancer: Laryngeal cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the voice box (larynx), and an ENT specialist can diagnose and treat it through surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy.
- Mixed Hearing Loss: Mixed hearing loss means you have trouble hearing both from problems with the inner ear and problems with the outer or middle ear, and an ENT doctor can help diagnose and treat the underlying causes.
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. Jamison offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Antrostomy and Antrotomy (Sinus Surgery): If you have persistent sinus infections, antrostomy or antrotomy might be used to drain the sinuses and promote healing.
- Adenoidectomy: This procedure involves the surgical removal of the adenoids, small masses of tissue in the back of your throat, to improve breathing and reduce infections.
- 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.
- Laryngoscopy and Laryngotomy: Laryngoscopy is a diagnostic procedure where a doctor uses a scope to visualize the larynx (voice box) to identify the source of voice problems, hoarseness, or breathing difficulties.
- Hearing Screening: A hearing screening is a quick test to check how well you hear different sounds.
- Perforated Eardrum Repair (Tympanoplasty): This surgery aims to fix a hole in the eardrum, often caused by infection or injury, to improve hearing and prevent further complications.
- Intranasal or Sinus Procedure: This in-office or surgical procedure uses small instruments inserted through the nose to diagnose and/or treat sinus or nasal conditions, potentially relieving congestion and improving breathing.
- Audiometry: Audiometry uses special equipment to measure your ability to hear sounds at different pitches and volumes.
- Tonsillectomy: This surgery involves removing the tonsils to alleviate issues like severe, repeated tonsillitis or obstructive sleep apnea.
- Diagnostic Nasal and Sinus Endoscopy: If you're experiencing nasal or sinus problems, a nasal and sinus endoscopy allows your doctor to get a clear, detailed view of the area to determine the cause and recommend the best treatment.
- Rhinoseptoplasty: A deviated septum can cause breathing problems; rhinoseptoplasty is a surgical solution to correct this.
- Nasal Septum Surgery (Septoplasty): Septoplasty is surgery to straighten a crooked nasal septum, improving breathing and reducing nasal congestion.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving ENT care with Dr. Jamison:
- What kind of conditions does an ENT specialist treat?
- Dr. Jamison, 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. Jamison's office accepts many insurance plans. While some, like HMOs, require a referral from your primary care physician, others, like PPOs, do not. Please check with your insurance provider to understand their specific referral requirements before scheduling an appointment.
- 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. Jamison is an expert in diagnosing head and neck masses and can perform a thorough examination, including a biopsy if needed, to determine the cause.
- 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. These tiny tubes help ventilate the middle ear and prevent fluid buildup. Dr. Jamison 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. Jamison will conduct a simple, painless hearing test in a soundproof booth. You'll 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, often involving a spinning sensation. Dr. Jamison can perform tests to determine the cause of vertigo, which frequently originates in the inner ear.
- 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. Jamison. 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?
- You should see Dr. Jamison, an ENT, if your sinus infections are chronic (lasting more than 12 weeks), recurrent (happening 4 or more times a year), or if they don't improve with standard treatments from your primary care doctor. An ENT can perform a nasal endoscopy to better evaluate and identify the underlying cause.
