ENT Specialists in Chicago, Oak Lawn & Indiana

Throat Conditions We Treat

Throat Pain: A sore throat often brings you to your general practitioner, but persistent, severe, and chronic sore throats often require diagnosis and treatment from an ENT specialist.

Tonsillitis: ENT doctors can help you determine whether or not tonsillitis requires surgery or other treatment. 

Voice Disorders: From hoarseness and voice strain to vocal cord nodules, we can help diagnose and treat these disorders.

Head and Neck Masses and Tumors

Abnormal masses and lumps in the neck and head are often caused by issues that are best treated by an otolaryngology professional. 

Diagnostic & Treatment Services

Many patients are referred to an ear nose and throat doctor by their primary care physicians for diagnostic services. OMHNA is staffed with industry professionals and equipped with the state-of-the-art technology needed to provide the following diagnostic services:

• Endoscopy 
• Audiology Tests
• Imaging

Once diagnostic services have been completed, your ENT specialist will discuss treatment plans that are targeted to your specific condition. These treatments can range from medication to physical therapy, and can sometimes include surgery. OMHNA is home to a group of highly-skilled ENT surgeons, and is prepared to help you get the care and treatment you need.

FAQs

Do I need a referral to see an ENT?

No, OMHNA will see you without a referral, but we do recommend trying to get one from your primary care physician first. Seeing your PCP for an issue first can often help you find relief on a more basic level, without the need for a specialist. If an ear nose and throat doctor is, in fact, needed, then many insurance companies require a referral from your provider in order to grant coverage.

What are signs I should see an ENT?

If you are experiencing chronic or recurring issues with your ears, nose, or throat (or if you have concerns about a mass or lump) and your primary care physician recommends more specialized care, it’s a very good time to schedule an appointment with an ENT. If you feel that ENT services are necessary, but your PCP has not recommended it, we encourage you to start a conversation with them, and ask about a referral.
