Palmetto ENT & Allergy offers ‘Urgent ENT’ appointments

The physicians of Palmetto ENT & Allergy say they 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 office 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, Palmetto says its team is available 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. Palmetto providers work together, and whether the diagnosis requires the help of an audiologist or allergist, the care plan remains in one place.

“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 ENT’) will allow our community to tap into specialize care when they need it.” 

Palmetto ENT & Allergy treats a full range of ear, nose and throat issues. To schedule same-day or next-day appointments at the Lexington County location, 3115 Sunset Blvd., West Columbia, call 803-256-7076.
