When to See an ENT Instead of Your Primary Care Doctor
Your primary care doctor is your go-to for most health concerns — from seasonal colds to checkups and everyday illnesses. They know your overall health best and can handle a wide range of issues. But sometimes, a problem involving your ears, nose, or throat needs a closer look from a provider with specialized training. That’s when it’s time to see an ENT specialist (ear, nose, and throat doctor), also known as an otolaryngologist.
