Find A Physician

The Ear, Nose and Throat physicians of Trinity Mother Frances Health System provide expert clinical care for the diagnosis and treatment of adult and pediatric diseases of the ear, nose and throat.  Our doctors sub-specialize in more than a dozen areas including otology, neurotology (the study of the nerves within the ear), surgery of the head and neck, nasal and sinus disorders, voice and swallowing problems, audiology and upper airway obstruction. They are equipped with advanced technology enabling them to diagnose and treat your symptoms with medications or a surgical procedure if necessary.

Our highly trained, board-certified physicians, along with our licensed audiologist, use the latest treatments and technologies to ensure the highest quality of care for patients of all ages.  They will also provide you with important information concerning the prevention of disease and illness of the ear, nose and throat and future complications that can result from an untreated infection.

Many procedures can be safely performed on an out patient basis, allowing the patient to return home the same day after the immediate recovery period.

Special Services Include:

Coblation® Assisted Tonsillectomy
Tonsillectomies are now a whole lot easier for children and adults in east Texas. Coblation®, a new technology that uses radio frequency waves instead of cauterization, minimizes damage to surrounding healthy tissue and allows children to recover more quickly—and with less pain—from tonsillectomy.
