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.

Dr. Shotts was great! He took time to explain his thoughts to me. He had a sense of humor and you can tell he is full of knowledge. I feel that he cares and that he wants to help me. Can't speak more highly of my visit at Tuscaloosa ENT!!

Sometimes “old fashioned” is good. Yesterday, I came to the Tuscaloosa Ear, Nose, and Throat Center because of a bad case of laryngitis that just wasn’t going away. From the time I entered, I was impressed with everyone who helped me. The wait was not long, I was told everything that was happening along the way, and the conversations I had with the nurse, the scope technician, and Dr. Shotts were warm, friendly, and quite informative. It kind of felt like an “old fashioned” doctor’s office where time is taken to get to know patients and to ask and answer questions. Dr. Shotts made sure I saw the sinus X-rays and throat scope video, and he thoroughly explained what we saw and what was indicated. I don’t really remember being able to describe a visit to any doctor’s office as “enjoyable” before, but this one was! Thank you to Dr. Shotts and the staff!

"This center could not have been more helpful when I got a call from my freshman college student suffering severe neck pain during finals week. Caroline at FYZICAL scheduled him within a few days with Dr. Shott who evaluated him, prescribed some medication if he needed it, but more importantly got him in right away to see Toshio, the physical therapist who really helped him with manual techniques, electric stimulation and exercises. We live in Illinois, so it was great to know my son was well taken care of and got all A's on his finals!! Thank you so much."
Appreciate Dr. Shotts & all of his knowledge concerning my husband’s allergies!! Great staff!!
