Expert Care for Ear, Nose, and Throat Conditions
Symptoms such as a runny nose, sore throat, or plugged ears often mean you have a cold. But they can also indicate something more serious. The otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat, or ENT) providers at Benefis can diagnose the full range of conditions that affect these areas, and design a personalized treatment plan to return you to health.
We treat both adults and children with these conditions. Care for ear, nose, and throat conditions can include medication, surgery, or both.
