BATON ROUGE, La. – Today, Baton Rouge General (BRG) announced that ear, nose and throat (ENT) services are now available at its Ascension neighborhood hospital.

Sinus and Nasal Specialists of Louisiana, led by Dr. Henry Barham and Dr. Christian Hall, provides ENT care from allergies, infections, and tumors to other complex problems of the nose and sinuses. The new location at BRG Ascension joins their main location on BRG’s Bluebonnet campus. Sinus and Nasal Specialists provides convenient, in-office sinus imaging technology and offers a full-service allergy clinic with the most sophisticated allergy testing and treatment strategies available today.

“We are excited to have the opportunity to develop relationships within the Ascension community and surrounding parishes as they entrust us with their ENT care, especially in such a conveniently located and new facility,” said Dr. Barham.

Dr. Barham graduated from LSU Health Sciences Center in Shreveport and completed a residency in otolaryngology head and neck surgery at the University of Colorado followed by a rhinology, rhinoplasty, and skull base surgery fellowship program in Sydney, Australia.

Dr. Hall graduated from LSU Health Sciences in New Orleans and completed a residency there. After practicing as a general ENT for several years, he completed a fellowship in rhinology at the Georgia Nasal and Sinus Institute in Savannah, Ga.
