General Info
Advanced ENT and Allergy is the result of an merger of three trusted Ear, Nose and Throat organizations located throughout the area: Louisville ENT Associates, Commonwealth Ear, Nose & Throat and Ohio Valley ENT and Allergy. Our 12 outstanding Otolaryngologists have come together to focus on new technologies and patient services by providing comprehensive delivery of head and neck care. Advanced ENT and Allergy provides a full spectrum of ear, nose and throat care as well as a full complement of head and neck surgery. Our dedicated medical professionals provide a complete array of diagnostic and therapeutic services for any and all healthcare needs associated with the head and neck. In addition to general ENT we have specialized medical expertise available through our five centers of excellence: The Allergy Center, The Hearing Center, The Sinus Center, The Thyroid Center, The Pediatric Center, Clinical Research and Aesthetic Center. At Advanced ENT & Allergy we have the largest and oldest Otolaryngic Allergy practices in our area. We treat both adults and children. Allergies or Allergic Rhinitis is a disorder that occurs when your body detects foreign substances called allergens (triggers). The most common symptoms of allergies, such as sneezing, itchy and watery eyes, runny nose, itchy throat and a stuffy nose. Other less common symptoms a patient might experience include chronic sinusitis, dizziness, ear problems, rashes, hives and stomach problems. We are able to test and treat a variety of allergy related disease processes, such as indoor and outdoor inhalants, stinging insects, and food and fungus allergies. Utilizing three techniques to manage allergies, the patient will receive the maximum relief of their symptoms: Avoidance Medications Immunotherapy Medications such as antihistamines, nasal sprays, steroids and decongestants may provide temporary relief, but do not address the underlying immune problem. Allergy shots are a once-a-week injection given in our office. Sublingual Therapy is a convenient way of administering immunotherapy. Drops are placed under the tongue twice a week at home. In our society of processed foods, we are eating hidden ingredients, such as milk, soy, wheat or corn on a daily basis. There are two types of food allergies: Cyclic food allergy is the most common type of food allergy. Symptoms are delayed, meaning you may not have symptoms for hours to days after ingesting the offending food. Fixed food allergy is less common. Symptoms occur almost immediately after being ingested. Symptoms may include swelling of the face, hives or rash.

Awesome place. I came here for a second opinion for my mother's issues. It turned out to be re-occurring sinus infections and they got it under control quickly. So happy we found this place. Got in quick and doctor was awesome!!

My son was having ear infections and we were able to get in quickly. They had to put in tubes and he has done great since. No more ear infections. The doctor was great with not only with my child but with my accompanying children as well.

I had an appointment with Dr. Hodge today and was very pleased overall with my whole experience while there. I had seen Dr. Hodge before and asked to see him again. I would highly recommend him and his Office to anyone that is having trouble with ears,nose or throat.

After going to many allergists around town and telling me I needed allergy shots, I finally visited Advanced ENT. They ended up finding that I was suffering from sinusitis - not allergies. After struggling for so long, they were able to pinpoint my issue and I was able to feel better. So glad I found them!! Highly recommend.

Called and made an new patient appointment, described the exact allergy issues I was having was scheduled for an appointment. Get in for an appointment tell 2 different people why I am there, go through the hassle of filling out informotion and asking questions only for Dr. Carter to come in and rudely tell me they do not see patients for my type of allergies that I need to see an allergist aka immunologist. Staff was rude except the nurse who came in with him. An absolute joke apparently the people who schedule appointments do this often. If you don't know your job then you don't need to be doing it.

Beware of this doctor - McMurray. He was the worst, most rude, hateful, and negligent doctor I've ever seen. I left in tears!! Terrible!!

Think twice about Dr Gould of the Brownsboro office. My wife saw him as the last patient of his day and he exuded all the charm and care of a wounded badger.

This place is great. I have 3 children and they have all needed ent services (tonsils/adenoids and ear tubes). They were great with my children and would personally go back if needed.

Doctor has been great, but they've gotten VERY aggressive about payment. If we don't pay within a month now we get a call saying if we don't pay up it'll be sent to collections. We've been going here 4 years now but they treat us like criminals.

can't get their scheduling right

I had a hearing test scheduled for my 20 month old and they scheduled me at a location that doesn't have the correct equipment for a child his age. Then I get an appt at the correct facility and the reminder comes 2 days ahead of time which you have to confirm. I get there and they tell me my appt is at 3 pm not 9am.. this is the SECOND day I have taken off work to bring my child for his hearing test and the blonde receptionist proceeds to blame me.. I can hear and I confirmed the reminder for 9am. Whoever does your scheduling obviously needs a new job. Your receptionist needs new Customer service training bc she is rude and blames ur patients. I wish I had a recording of my "reminder" ur office sent me.

They did proceed to "work us in" no telling how long I'm going to have to sit here occuping a not even 2 year old. Get your scheduling together..I won't ever come back to this place again.

My experience with Dr. Carter was great! His office has a beautiful waiting room, friendly and competent office staff, and I had no wait time. He was friendly, professional, thorough, and patient. He made me feel calm and comfortable throughout the process. Dr. Carter is everything you could ask for in a doctor. I recommend him wholeheartedly!

I have been suffering from allergies for many years and finally found some treatment that makes me feel better. Dr. Abbas (and his nurses) just down the road from me always sees me quickly. He takes the time to answer my questions, too, which is always appreciated.

What a great experience. I had headaches for over a year and Dr. Abbas was able to pinpoint the problem immediately. I was frustrated after talking to many doctors and getting many recommendations--with no change. Thank you Dr. Abbas!

Excellent service with great results!

I have come here for multiple symptoms already, and have always been treated fairly and respectfully.



Last year, I had a septoplasty procedure done after Dr. Shotts, scheduling was easy and flexible to fit my schedule. I haven't had breathing problems since!



I've gone in to treat an ear infection, given antibiotics and tips on how to reduce the ear fluid, and within a week I was good to go.



I went back last month to do an allergy test, withing half an hour I was in and out of the office. I got my results, the specialist went over them with me, and now I know I must avoid grasses, cockroaches and cats!

While the staff was friendly e...

While the staff was friendly enough there evasive enough of the pricing until I was locked in was appalling. I came in for treatment of chronic Post Nasal Drip thinking it up being like 300-500 tops, and it ended up being 900 dollars (with insurance pricing otherwise it be 1200-1500) total to tell me almost nothing that I didn't already know, So my 900 for doctor visits, ct scan, camera in nose, and allergy test. All to tell me that no infections, a deviated septum (was 75% sure I had that before I came in), and that I'm still allergic to dust mites primarily.



Treatment options were to try more expensive nasal sprays first one might as well been nasal irrigation at best, second worked with about 20% difference at the cost of a extremely foggy head. Start allergy shots/drops with no given reference to how much of a difference I would notice compared to before using the sprays as a baseline. Third get surgery done for deviated septum, but it will not cure the Post Nasal Drip just maybe make me breathe better (which was my whole reason for visiting)



The only thing I like to add is I kept reiterating I'm looking for a cure not a treatment, and yet it sounds like that's what I ended up (shots/drops being in grey area and that I was on shots years ago for 2-3 years), had they just been upfront I could have been thank you for your time and I'm out of there.



If I had known this would be the cost for an already manageable condition, I never would have gone and instead maybe kept that money for anything that was more useful.



Edits: Add an extra 100 dollars for suddenly uncovered cost (up to 1k now, awesome). Also it's not about the cost it's that it did nothing to bother curing and was just more treatment (I was upfront about that from the beginning, they were not by being evasive), and was arguably completely unneeded testing (I gave off 0 symptoms for the testing of the ct, up until that point it would have been ok). Had they stopped at the allergy test would have been an expensive lesson that it’s pretty much impossible to cure. However I would have understood that there wasn't much they could do

This place is the best ENT around. they have always treated me and my family with quick and good service. I read the other reviews on here and all i can say is that if you go to the doctor due to post nasal drip then dont complain about paying for the visit. Its a doctors office, you cant expect to get free advice, they are a busines.

My daughter had tubes put in when she was 2 and they took the best care of her to make sure she was as comfortable as she could be. I wouldnt go anywhere else.

and the front desk staff was quick to help us everytime we entered the office. very pleasant. thank you from me and my daughter

I have 3 children and 2 out of the 3 have had tubes inserted in their ears from these physicians. The staff is friendly and the physicians are wonderful. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.
