Ear, Nose & Throat

About Us

Trinity Clinic Ear, Nose and Throat physicians provide expert clinical care for the diagnosis and treatment of adult and pediatric diseases of the ear, nose and throat. Our physicians 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 symptoms with medications or perform a wide range of surgical procedures 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 provide patients with important information concerning the prevention of disease and illness of the ear, nose and throat so that future complications that can result from an untreated infection can be avoided.

Many outpatient procedures, meaning no hospital stay, can be safely performed, allowing patients to return home the same day of their procedure.

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