As a community-based health care system, Augusta Health is here to help ensure the health and well-being of all people living in the communities we serve. Our affiliation with Mayo Clinic means we offer excellence and expertise in a comfortable setting close to home.
Our otolaryngologists, also known as ENTs, specialize in the diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of diseases and conditions of the ear, nose and throat. Often, these conditions affect hearing, smell and taste. In some cases, we may also treat disorders that affect the ability to swallow and the voice.
Our specialists are experts in treating a number of conditions and diseases that affect the ears and the sense of hearing, including:
- Hearing loss
- Otitis, an ear infection often occurring in the middle ear
- Tinnitus, a constant ringing in the ear that is often associated with hearing loss
- Other ear-related conditions
Our specialists treat a number of conditions related to the nose and nasal septum, which helps you breathe and helps block potentially harmful dirt, allergens and other agents from entering the body. Some of the most common conditions we treat include:
- Deviated septum, a misalignment of the bone and cartilage that separate the nasal passages
- Sinus infection (rhinosinusitis)
- Nasal injuries, polyps and other obstructions
- Other disorders related to the nose, sinuses, and sense of smell
Our specialists treat people with a variety of conditions that affect swallowing and the ability to speak, including:

We understand that your quality of life can be significantly affected when problems with the ears, nose and throat occur. When you trust your health to Augusta Health and our ENT specialists, you can be confident we will treat your concerns with respect. Our goal is to help you achieve the best quality of life possible.
When you meet with one of our ENT specialists, you can expect to be treated with respect and compassion. Your specialist will want to talk with you about our overall health and learn about the specific reason for your visit. You should come prepared to discuss in detail your symptoms and how they affect your daily life. During your appointment, your specialist will perform an examination that will help determine the best treatment options available to you.
You will have time to discuss treatment options, their benefits and potential side effects. We hope you will take time to ask questions and to feel confident you have the information you need to make an informed decision about your health care.
