ENT Health for Anti-Aging – Dr. Aaron Fletcher – 2017 Over 40 & Fabulous! Advisory Board
Why is ear, nose and throat health important to quality of life and anti-aging?
Dr. Aaron Fletcher of Georgia Center for Ear, Nose & Throat uncovers the potential signs of common ENT issues.
When people arrive at Georgia Center for Ear, Nose & Throat, it is usually because they are ready to put their health first. “A lot of people come in and say, ‘I just haven’t had the time to focus on my own issues,’” says Aaron Fletcher, M.D.
Once patients get long-standing issues taken care of, the difference can be dramatic. “A lot of what I do is quality of life surgery. I deal with people’s breathing, their ability to sleep and also their appearance—if someone is having difficulty breathing through their nose, once I fix that issue, it can be life changing.”
For those wondering when to see an ENT specialist, Dr. Fletcher advises paying attention to signs that can be indicative of deeper problems. Weight gain, headaches and voice changes could be tied to the thyroid or lack of sleep could be caused by more than the inability to wind down as in sleep apnea.
With more treatments moving in-office, these common issues can be taken care of conveniently. “I’m excited to be on the cutting edge because a lot of surgery is moving toward being accessible in the office and we are one of the first ones to be on the forefront of that,” Fletcher says.
