Dr. Andrew Gaut, ear, nose, and throat specialist
Danielle Starr, audiologist
An otolaryngologist is a physician who specializes in diagnosing and treating disorders of the ears, nose, throat, head, and neck. Often called an ENT doctor, an otolaryngologist provides both medical and surgical care for patients of all ages. An audiologist is a provider with a doctorate degree in audiology and evaluates hearing function, fits hearing aids and offers prevention and non-medical therapies.
Neosho Memorial's ENT team provides expert diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of conditions—from routine ear infections and sinus problems to complex disorders affecting children and adults. Dr. Gaut is full-time in Chanute and is part of NMRMC's Surgery Clinic that provides convenient access to specialized care close to home.
We also offer comprehensive audiology services with a certified audiologist, Danielle Starr, AuD, who performs hearing evaluations, fits hearing aids, and helps patients improve their hearing and quality of life.
