The physicians and medical staff at Southern ENT are dedicated to the health and safety of our patients and all of the citizens in our community. With this in mind, we are encouraging all to abide by the Social Distancing recommendations of the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in order to minimize the impact of the Coronavirus. https://www.cdc.gov/coron…/2019-ncov/prepare/prevention.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/…/20…/world/corona-simulator/ With your health and safety in mind, we are advising patients who are scheduling routine well visits for things such as ear tube checks, allergy or CPAP follow up visits, maintenance medication refills, follow up audiograms, CT scans, etc. to schedule visits at a later date. For those patients with a more pressing medical need, we will be providing tele-medicine consultations with our Physicians or Nurse Practitioners. During the telephone consultation our medical professionals will prescribe appropriate therapy, make recommendations for you to come in for an in-office visit, or refer you to the proper facility for further testing or treatment. The physicians and health care professionals at Southern ENT have been privileged to care for the medical needs of our community for over 40 years. We are committed to continue to serve and provide for your health and well-being. Together we will weather the storm.

Dr. Tenney doesn't take being #GrandMarshal of the 2019 Thibodaux Firemen's Fair lightly! He recently ditched the scrubs and suited up with the department to get a better understanding of what our volunteer #firefighters go through and sacrifice to keep our community safe. We hope to see you all at the fair May 2 - May 5, 2019!
