Why Choose a Specialist for Urgent ENT Care?
Many general urgent care clinics treat ENT problems, but their teams are typically staffed by providers without advanced otolaryngology training. While they can offer temporary relief, complex or high risk ENT conditions are best managed by a specialist who can both treat the problem and address its root cause.

- Nationally Recognized Expertise – Frequently invited to lecture on ENT techniques, published in peer reviewed journals, and featured in major news and health media for innovation in ENT care.
- Minimally Invasive Treatment Options – Skilled in advanced, less invasive procedures to shorten recovery time and reduce discomfort.
- Personalized, Direct Care – Every urgent care patient is evaluated directly by Dr. Levitin, ensuring consistent, expert level attention.
