A Little History

The physicians of two otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat) groups in Winston-Salem joined together to create Piedmont Ear, Nose & Throat Associates (PENTA), the premier otolaryngology group in the Triad. The merger of Forsyth Head & Neck Associates and Salem Ear, Nose & Throat Associates took place on July 1, 1999. All of PENTA’s physicians are board certified by the Academy of Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery.

PENTA offers patients a full range of ear, nose and throat services including:
