Many of life’s enjoyable moments are enhanced by the body’s senses of sight, hearing, smell and taste. When any of these are compromised, it can be an inconvenience or even a sign of a more serious issue that needs attention.
Symptoms such as laryngitis, chronic sinus infections, swollen lymph nodes, vertigo, hearing loss, sleep apnea, tonsillitis and ear infections are all indicators for a patient to seek an Otolaryngologists, also known as an ENT or “ear, nose and throat” physician. These specialized physicians treat conditions affecting the ear, nose, and throat.
William Hoskins, DO, William Brian Helton, MD, and Mark Veronneau, DO, are all board certified Otolaryngologists dedicated to providing specialty care close to home. These three physicians specialize in treating tonsils/adenoids, ear infections, sinus diseases, allergies, thyroid surgery, head and neck cancer surgery, hearing impairment, environmental allergy testing and more.
“I have always felt strongly that people should not have to leave our area to receive specialty care,” said Dr. Helton. “It is an honor to be able to provide these services to the residents of Eastern Kentucky in an attempt to improve their quality of life.”
“We continue to see an increase in patients suffering from ear, nose, and throat conditions in our region,” said Dr. Veronneau. “We strive to provide quality specialized treatment for those disorders.”
This prestigious group of ENT physicians offers the region specialty skills that include diagnosing and managing diseases of the larynx (voice box), oral cavity, ears and upper pharynx (mouth and throat) as well as in the neck and face.
“The patients we treat deserve to have the best possible quality of life,” said Dr. Hoskins. “Issues affecting a patient’s ears, nose and/or throat can cause serious problems affecting a patient’s physical and emotional health. We are here to address those issues and offer solutions.”
