TESTIMONIALS

Dr. Phillips

“Dr Scott Phillips provided me with excellent treatment. He diagnosed the problem quickly after a thorough examination and treated the affected area. He sent me home with a prescription and follow up instructions. I have not had a problem since the visit- he pronounced me healed after the follow up exam. I would refer any of my family or friends to Dr Phillips- he has an easy going but professional manner and puts you at ease quickly. Although nose treatments are painful, he was able to exam and treat with a minimum of discomfort. I am glad that my primary care doctor referred me to Dr Phillips."

“My son Cade has been going to Dr. Phillips since the fall of 2006 (he was just 8 months old), we had our final visit with him last week. That is right, 9 years with Dr. Phillips!! We didn't have to go all of the time, but him and his staff made us feel like family when we did. I fully trusted him and his staff and I am so happy to say that my son passed his hearing test last week! Such a great feeling to know that everything he has went through has ensured his hearing. I am forever thankful that our doctor called Dr. Phillips back in 2006 to get us in. I can't thank him and his staff enough!"

“My Name is Chuck Cothron and I am 60. I am very active but have always suffered from sinus problems. I have had four surguries in the past and they have been horrible . I was not excited to think of schduling for a fifth but had no option. It was time. I was referred to Dr. Phillips. We met and he was so nice and had so much positive innformation on how things have changed over the ast 20 years. The one major difference is there was no packing. He is by far made my experience the best surgery and my discomfort level was lowest ever. His care was the best from start to finish. I would recommend anyone who is even thinking of postponing their own surgery, Don't. You will be so thankful and happy that you did it. I am able to get back work and be with my family."

“I have worked for a major airline for 27 years as a Luggage Handler Supervisor so obviously, even with hearing protection, I have had a noticeable hearing loss over that time. It has gotten so bad that my wife get irritated because I always have the TV loud, I ask her to repeat everything and miss most conversations at gatherings. I took a chance by going to CENTA because at the age of 52, you just don't want to admit that you need something like hearing aids.  I was very lucky to have Audiologist Maria and Dr. Scott Phillips guide me thru the steps, comfort and ease of using hearing aids! My quality of life has been a HUGE improvement and I thank them and their teams at the Avon office for all that they have done. They are very knowledgeable, polite, kind, professional and most of all personable! Everyone there is, the hearing aids are the product but the service provided by Dr. Phillips and Maria are VERY IMPRESSIVE! If you are considering hearing aids, I recommend that you contact CENTA as you will be treated with discreet and wonderful care!"

channel 59 TORS.wmv

Read more This informative video is one of several news stories which aired in mid 2010 regarding transoral robotic surgery, or TORS. TORS involves the use of the da Vinci surgical robotic system for removal of tumors of the mouth and throat. This news story documents the experience of a patient who underwent TORS for a squamous cell cancer of the tongue base of an otherwise healthy man. His surgeons were Drs. Tod Huntley and Ed Krowiak of the Center for Ear Nose Throat & Allergy, based in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. Drs. Huntley and Krowiak were among the first private practice surgeons in the US trained in both TORS and robotic thyroid surgery and are in demand as instructors and proctors to other surgeons in the US who are learning robotic head and neck surgery. They and their partners have extensive experience in head and neck cancer removal and reconstruction, and Drs. Krowiak and Huntley are the group's specialists in robotic surgery. CENTA is a group of six academic private practice otolaryngologists, a PhD speech pathologist, two nurse practitioners, and a cytologist. In addition to practicing general adult and pediatric ENT and allergy, they have an international reputation in tertiary referral head and neck cancer, sleep apnea, and robotic surgery. Their practice was one of the first to offer a weekly multidisciplinary head and neck tumor clinic in 1978. This weekly clinic involves an experienced team of surgeons, radiation and medical oncologists, oral surgeons, a prosthodontist, pathologists, and a social worker who personally see new head and neck cancer patients together in a group setting. This allows for the most comprehensive of evaluations and treatments, with all options -- including robotic surgery -- offered anywhere in the world available to their patients. Please visit the group's website: www.centadocs.com for more information or call them at 1-800-283-1056 to schedule an appointment.

da Vinci robotic thyroidectomy news story.wmv

Read more Removal of part of the thyroid gland has traditionally involved an incision in the neck, which is usually visible no matter small the incision or how skilled the surgeon. There is another newer approach however, using the da Vinci surgical robot. This da Vinci robotic thyroid surgery is approached through the axilla, or armpit, and avoids any incision in the neck. This results in a better cosmetic result, as shown in this video. The video is a news story aired in early 2010, and documents the experience of a patient who underwent this surgery for a benign tumor in her thyroid by Drs. Tod Huntley and Ed Kwoiak of the Center for Ear Nose Throat & Allergy, or CENTA. Her results are typical of those of other patients of theirs. CENTA's YouTube channel (0centa) also has videos documenting the surgery step by step, as well as a patient's personal testimonial of her robotic thyroidectomy. Drs. Huntley and Krowiak were the first surgeons in Indiana and among the first in the United States to adopt da Vinci robotic techniques in head and neck surgery, and they now instruct other surgeons in robotic surgery for thyroid and throat tumors. They are available for consultation for patients throughout the US and abroad. CENTA is a private practice ear, nose, throat, and allergy practice which offers comprehensive treatment of adult and pediatric otolaryngology and head and neck surgical problems. In addition, each of the group's members subspecializes in specific areas of ENT, as seen on CENTA's website: www.centadocs.com. The group can also be reached by telephone at 1-800-283-1056.
