Surgery Center

Spokane Ear, Nose, and Throat Surgery Center is a fully-licensed, Medicare approved ambulatory facility created for patients under the care of our ENT specialists. The Center was developed as an alternative to a traditional hospital setting, providing a safe, convenient and decidedly specialized medical experience. Here, only Ear, Nose, and Throat surgeries are performed by our well-trained team. Our staff is completely focused on the needs of our patients.

When you have your surgery in our surgery center, your anesthetic will be given by a board certified Anesthesiologist from the Anesthesia Associates group. More information about them can be found on their website: www.anesthesiaassociatesspokane.org
