From sinus treatment to sleep apnea and everything in between, our expert medical providers can meet your ENT needs. They treat general and pediatric ENT issues, nasal and sinus issues, thyroid conditions and sleep apnea. They also diagnose and treat head, neck, skin, tongue, tonsil and vocal cord cancer. “When you have a sinus infection or are worried you may have cancer, adding a two-hour drive to receive care and navigating through a maze of clinics to find your provider can be overwhelming,” said Dr. Lauren Jazwick, otolaryngologist at Columbus Otolaryngology Clinic. “We strive to provide our community with a comprehensive level of care to make difficult times in our patients’ lives more manageable.” Our team offers one-on-one, personalized care that distinguishes us from other ENT providers. “I get to see my patients at the store, eating at a restaurant, worshipping at church and rooting on the Huskers,” Jazwick said. “This relationship leads to the best level of care and empathy. We will treat you as our own family.” When you see one of our providers, they won’t just check you for the symptoms you report. Instead, they will perform a thorough examination, asking relevant questions that might reveal a condition that previously went unnoticed. Our clinic focuses on treating the whole person, and providers take the time to get to know you and the life you lead so they can make an accurate diagnosis. We also have cutting-edge technology to treat conditions locally. “People often think bigger cities have better equipment or better service, but that just isn’t the case,” said Nancy Rinkol, practice manager. “We have the most up-to-date equipment both in the office and the surgical department.” This includes two high-definition endoscopic towers within the office that allow providers to visualize inside the nose down to the vocal cords. The hospital has a newly renovated surgical department and recently purchased laryngoscopes — instruments used to examine the throat — thanks to the CCH Foundation. Surgeons also use the TruDi® navigation system, which helps in the treatment of sinus conditions. “When doing sinus surgery, it is difficult to visualize up into the sinuses,” said Rinkol. “The navigation connects with the patient’s computed tomography (CT ) scan to help doctors see more easily inside the nose.” TruDi® is a registered trademark of Johnson & Johnson.
