Be Mindful When Choosing a Pediatric ENT
When your child needs ear tubes, or tonsil and adenoid surgery in Fort Worth, you want
compassionate experts who treat your family like their own. I have spent more than two decades
caring for children here, and as a parent myself, I understand how worrisome ear infections,
breathing problems, and recurrent sore throats can be. At Expert ENT Care, we work one on one with
a pediatric anesthesiologist and use advanced equipment to make every procedure, from allergy
testing to sinus surgery, as gentle as possible.
A Personal Approach to Children’s ENT Care
At Expert ENT Care, my staff and I greet each child by name. We take time to explain every step so
families understand the process and feel comfortable asking questions. When parents are informed,
they can focus on moving forward with treatment while we work to ease anxieties for both kids and
caregivers.
Timely Ear Tubes and Tonsil Surgery in Fort Worth
We know parents have full schedules and want to resolve their child’s health concerns quickly. At our
office, the time from your first call to the day of surgery is typically about three weeks. In contrast,
some hospital based facilities have wait times that can stretch to four to six months. Those delays
can prolong discomfort and create unnecessary worry.
Cost Conscious ENT Care in Fort Worth
As a standalone clinic working closely with local ambulatory surgery centers, we help families avoid
the added facility fees that hospital owned outpatient departments often include. Research* shows
that procedures performed in surgery centers can cost only a fraction of the same procedures done in
hospital settings while maintaining excellent safety and quality standards. Studies have also shown
that complication and revisit rates can be lower in surgery centers, in part because surgeons directly
manage their own teams and schedules.
You Have a Choice in Referrals
In some cases, physicians employed by large hospital systems are encouraged to keep referrals
within the network. However, you are always entitled to choose where your child receives care. If
your pediatrician automatically refers you to a hospital based ENT, you can request a referral to
Expert ENT Care. Here, your child will receive the same high quality care from an experienced
surgeon, without the long wait or unnecessary costs.
