The physicians of Palmetto ENT & Allergy have long been committed to providing patients with accessible, quality ear, nose, and throat care. This month, the practice is expanding access further with an Urgent ENT initiative, opening its Lexington for same-day and walk-in appointments to treat common urgent ENT issues.
When symptoms such as ear pain, persistent sinus infections, or nosebleeds need more than a simple prescription, the Palmetto wants to help find the root cause and prepare a plan for long-term relief. Unlike a traditional urgent care visit, where patients may need to seek additional specialty appointments, the urgent ENT model eliminates a need for multiple appointments with different doctors and long wait times for answers.
Providers work together, and whether the diagnosis requires the help of an audiologist or allergist, the care plan remains in one place, so follow-up is seamless.
“This new program allows patients to access expert ENT care quickly. Patients will have quick and easy entry into the full spectrum of care at Palmetto ENT & Allergy to allow for accurate and complete diagnosis, treatment and follow up.” Said Dr. Neil Burkhalter. “We see that patients need quick access now more than ever and urgent will allow our community to tap into specialize care when they need it.”
Palmetto ENT & Allergy treats a full range of ear, nose, or throat issues. Some of the common urgent care needs include: Ear infections, pain and drainage, along with wax impaction, and sudden hearing loss, nose and sinus issues such as congestion, nasal obstruction, nosebleeds, fractures, sinus pain or pressure, and sinus infections, throat and swallowing problems, as well as tonsil and adenoid issues.
To schedule same-day or next-day appointments at the Lexington location at 3115 Sunset Blvd., West Columbia, call 803-256-7076.
