I have been a patient of Dr. Shotts at Tuscaloosa ENT for several years. I am completely satisfied with the care they have given me and also the advice of different exercises that may help my issues. Dr. Shotts and the whole team are so patient & understanding plus they try to help you in any way they can.
When you enter the lobby of registration , the cleanliness and the friendliest fills the room and your wait time isn't a long wait at all . This is the time of year for your Ears ,Nose , and throat to catch a cold . Call Tuscaloosa E.N.T. and they will give you the best care for your issues.

My son is a patient of Dr. Lake’s. He has been a patient for approximately a year. He had his tonsils removed over the summer and the surgery went extremely well. Dr. Lake was wonderful before and after the surgery. The recovery went much better than anticipated. Thanks to Tuscaloosa ENT for diagnosing and resolving his sleeping problems.
