Ear Nose and Throat Specialist at NRMC Nevada Regional Medical Center is proud to announce a partnership with Dr. Nathan Box, Otolaryngologist at their Specialty Services Clinic. Dr. Box practices at Freeman Hospital’s Ear, Nose, & Throat Center on a full-time basis and will be visiting Nevada monthly. “My priority in coming to Nevada was mainly to treat children. Although I treat patients of all ages, children tend to be the larger population that we see. We want to keep the children local so parents don’t have to travel to receive treatment,” said Dr. Box. This specialty, otherwise known as an Ear, Nose and Throat, was in high-demand for the local area. It is the branch of medicine and surgery that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of ear, nose, throat, and head and neck disorders. Many of the patients seen by an ENT suffer from such symptoms as: chronic sore throats, recurrent ear infections, swollen adenoids, chronic sinus problems, ear wax build-up and vertigo. Many of the treatments take place in the office however, some require surgery. Most surgeries are out-patient meaning that they are quick and recovery time is minimal. Surgeries include: inserting ear tubes, tonsillectomies or tonsil removal and sinus surgery to name a few. Some insurance companies require a referral to see an ENT but, many do not. If you or your child are plagued by constant ear infections, sore throats or other illnesses that could be treated by Dr. Box, call today to make an appointment at 800-440-4905.
