General Otolaryngology

TAKING CARE OF YOU: GENERAL OTOLARYNGOLOGY (Ear, Nose, and Throat)

Vanderbilt Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery (O-HNS) offers collaborative ear, nose, and throat care in a comfortable community setting. Our team works closely with other specialists across Vanderbilt Health to help manage a patient’s care, including allergists, gastroenterologists, neurologists, pulmonologists, or audiologists. Vanderbilt Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery offers convenient in-office procedures for several issues, including balloon sinuplasty.

Patient Care Excellence

Similar to a private ENT practice, Vanderbilt Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery offers patients quick, comprehensive attention to a variety of ear, nose, and throat issues. Collaboration is a distinguishing characteristic of our practice. Patients have access to specialists within other Vanderbilt Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery groups, as well as to the diagnostic testing, clinical trials, and the latest research and treatment options available at Vanderbilt.

Vanderbilt Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery offers two locations – the Vanderbilt Williamson County Otolaryngology Clinic in Franklin and the Vanderbilt Bill Wilkerson Center in Nashville. Our Franklin location offers same-day appointments as available.
