Otolaryngology (ENT)
Physicians and surgeons for the ears, nose, sinuses, and throat.
What does an ENT do?
Otolaryngologists, usually called ENT doctors, are physicians and surgeons who treat conditions of the ears, nose, sinuses, throat, and neck: recurring sinus infections, chronic congestion, recurrent ear infections, hearing and balance concerns with a medical cause, tonsil and adenoid problems, voice and swallowing issues, and lumps in the neck.
ENTs work closely with audiologists, who test hearing and fit hearing aids; the ENT handles the medical and surgical side of ear disease. If your concern is primarily hearing testing or hearing aids, the audiology page in this directory may be the more direct starting point, and either specialty will refer to the other as needed.
When to see one, and how to choose
A primary-care provider handles most short-lived ear, nose, and throat problems and refers to ENT when something persists, recurs, or needs a procedure: sinus infections that keep returning, an ear that won't clear, snoring with gasping, hoarseness that lingers, or a neck lump. ProviderQuoHealth shows credentials, accepted insurance, and accepting-new-patients status; the guides below cover how specialty referrals work for military families and veterans in the Fort Bragg area.
Seek emergency care for severe trouble breathing or swallowing, drooling with inability to swallow, severe bleeding from the nose or throat that won't stop, or sudden hearing loss with stroke signs. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Don't search a directory.

Frequently asked
Should I see an ENT or an audiologist for hearing problems?
Audiologists test hearing and manage hearing aids and tinnitus; ENTs diagnose and treat medical conditions of the ear and operate when needed. They work together and refer to each other, so either can be a reasonable starting point depending on your concern. Both appear in this directory.
What usually leads to an ENT referral?
Sinus infections that keep returning, chronic congestion, recurrent ear infections, persistent hoarseness, snoring with gasping or choking, swallowing problems, or a lump in the neck. A primary-care provider evaluates first and refers when specialist care would help.
Which ear, nose, or throat symptoms are emergencies?
Severe trouble breathing or swallowing, drooling with inability to swallow, heavy bleeding that won't stop, or sudden hearing loss alongside stroke signs like face drooping or trouble speaking. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Don't search a directory.
