Across The ENT & Allergy Centers of Texas network, we are committed to safeguarding our patients’ health and well-being. Our specialists integrate advanced diagnostics, expert care, and compassionate support to identify and treat head and neck cancers at the earliest stage.
November is Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Month. It is an important time to share information about early signs that can affect your voice, throat, and overall ENT health.
Our ENT specialists and audiologists care deeply about keeping our communities informed. Symptoms such as a sore throat that will not heal, voice changes, or a small lump in the neck are worth paying attention to and learning more about.
Awareness and regular attention to your ENT health can make a lasting difference.

DFW’s Largest ENT Practice Revitalizes Your Senses
Drs. Champion & Thrasher merged their solo practices in 2008 to form The ENT & Allergy Centers of Texas, PLLC. Since then, they have added 7 additional physicians to create the largest ENT practice in DFW. Consistently innovating to offer the most advanced and least invasive options for ear, nose, and throat care, our practice serves all ages from the newborn to the elderly.
We were one of the first practices in Texas, and the first in DFW, to perform in-office balloon sinuplasty. We were among the first to perform robotic surgery for oropharyngeal disease in DFW. We were one of the first in the nation to offer Spirox and Clarifix for the treatment of nasal obstruction and runny noses. We were among the first in the nation to be trained for hypoglossal nerve stimulation to treat sleep apnea and implanted the first device in Collin County.
All our physicians are board-certified/eligible with privileges to operate from level I trauma centers to Children’s Hospital to small cost-efficient surgery centers. Our practice can manage the vast majority of evaluation and treatment of ENT related disorders with a comprehensive suite of in-office services which means you do not have to have additional appointments with other facilities to know what is happening to you. We have in-office CT imaging, hearing tests, allergy testing and treatment including the use of allergy drops, balance testing for patients with dizziness, ultrasound evaluation of head and neck masses including diagnostic fine needle aspiration, HD video endoscopy suites, and minor procedure operating suites for office-based procedures such as balloon sinuplasty. There is little that we cannot do for the patient with ENT conditions.
We welcome you to our practice and endeavor to revitalize your senses. No one wants to have to go to the doctor, but if you come see us, we hope you leave feeling it was the best experience you could have had.
