Why SENTA

Advanced ENT & Allergy is the result of an exciting merger of three tried and trusted Ear, Nose, and Throat organizations located throughout Kentuckiana in 2010. Otolaryngologists (ear, nose, and throat doctors) came together to focus on new technologies and patient services by providing a highly coordinated and comprehensive delivery of head and neck care. Our coordinated efforts in care and geographic coverage in the area make our services more convenient and accessible to referring physicians and patients throughout the region.

In September of 2023, we joined with SENTA Partners–a physician-led, patient-focused alliance. We became part of a family with physicians and practices in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and adding Kentucky and Indiana
