Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT)

There are several procedures and services to cater to your ENT needs, also known as Otolaryngology. The independent specialist runs an allergy clinic (testing and injections) several days a week, and when needed, patients are also able to get surgical treatment related to sinus issues. The specialist also performs facial and reconstructive surgery in the ENT areas.

Providers: Dr. Jeffrey Bennion, Dr. Zachary Robinett

Physiatry

There are times a chronic pain may be related to a nerve issue. The independent physiatrist may perform an EMG (electromyography) to diagnose the health of muscles and nerve cells. This procedure and other diagnostic services, help the physiatrist and your primary care provider determine how to best treat the whole person, not just a problem area.  

Providers: Dr. Lori Novich-Welter

Telepsychiatry

Telepsychiatry is mental and behavioral health care delivered through real-time videoconferencing in a secure, private place. It is great for allowing more people access to behavioral health care. Since there is a significant nationwide shortage of mental health professionals, telepsychiatry makes it easier for them to see more people in more places. Telepsychiatry clinicians are experts in their field and trained in providing quality care through technology.

Providers: Dr. David Leavitt

Urology

There are many reasons you may need a urologist. With over 20 years experience, the urologist can often take care of your needs within an outpatient setting. Surgical procedures include treatment of the kidney, bladder and urinary areas. The clinic also has access to a state of the art machine to perform shock wave lithotripsy, affectionately known as the “kidney stone blaster.”

Providers: Dr. Justin P. Parkinson

Our procedures rooms are state of the art and within a friendly environment to provide excellence in hospitality and care.
