We are excited to celebrate our 18th anniversary this fall with you! Your continued support and trust have been instrumental in our journey, and we want to share some updates and remind you why we remain the premier Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist near you, serving as the center of excellence in sinus and nasal care in Southwest Montana."
At Bridger ENT, we are always on the cutting edge of ENT care, and excited to share some of our standout procedures that you won’t find anywhere else: |
VivAer™ Imagine breathing freely and comfortably again! VivAer™ is a revolutionary treatment for nasal congestion that uses gentle radiofrequency energy to open nasal airways. Covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and some commercial insurances, this procedure is performed in the office with local anesthetic. Say goodbye to nasal congestion and hello to a breath of fresh air in a more clear, comfortable nose! |
RhinAer™ For those battling chronic drippy or runny noses, RhinAer™ is your new best friend. This cutting-edge procedure uses radiofrequency energy to target the root of nasal congestion and allergic rhinitis, giving you long-lasting relief and reducing the need for daily medications and boxes of Kleenex. It is covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and some commercial insurances. Since it is performed in the office setting with topical anesthesia, RhinAer™ is an easy experience! |
Lingual Frenuloplasty (Tongue Tie Release) For either a child or an adult, Lingual Frenuloplasty can make a world of difference. Correcting a tight frenulum (a band-like cord of tissue under the tongue) can promote closed mouth breathing, reduce snoring, alleviate stress in head and neck muscles, jaw development, improve speech and swallowing and overall quality of life. Dr. Dodson’s specialized frenuloplasty surgical method ensures confident, lasting results. He has successfully performed this surgery over 500 times to improve quality of life of our patients. |
Deviated Septum Repair (Septoplasty) Struggling with nasal obstruction? Septoplasty is a tried-and-true procedure designed to correct a deviated septum, improving nasal airflow and overall quality of life. Dr. Dodson is exceptionally skilled, having performed over 2,000 septoplasties throughout his career at Bridger ENT. His dedication to delivering successful results ensures each patient receives the highest standard of care. |
Intracapsular Tonsillectomy Say goodbye to traditional tonsillectomy and hello to a smoother recovery! Dr. Dodson is the only ENT in Southwest Montana, one of two in the state, offering the intracapsular tonsillectomy technique. Intracapsular tonsillectomy involves removal of tonsil tissue using cold ablation (Coblation) preventing violation of the tonsillar capsule and the underlying pharyngeal muscles. In addition to reducing post-operative pain and recovery by half, this surgical technique reduces the risk of post-tonsillectomy bleeding by 50 times, when compared to traditional tonsillectomy. After reviewing the scientific data which indicated the superiority of the technique, Dr. Dodson began performing intracapsular tonsillectomy in 2020. Since that time, he has performed over 800 intracapsular tonsillectomies, adding to his prior total of 7,000 tonsillectomies since beginning practice in Bozeman in 2006! |
Fresh New Look! We’re excited to unveil our clinic’s fresh new look! Updated siding gives the building a modern, vibrant feel that reflects our commitment to excellence. We promise a warm welcome and an office that matches the high-quality care we provide! We’re still conveniently located on Ellis Street, directly across from Bozeman Health. |
Proudly the Only FARS-Recognized ENT in Montana Dr. Dodson is exceptionally proud to be the only ENT physician in Montana to have the FARS (Fellow of the American Rhinologic Society) designation. Fellows of the American Rhinologic Society (ARS) have demonstrated their dedication to the highest standards in sinus and nasal care. With rigorous requirements which include performing 50 surgical rhinologic cases within a two-year period, service to the rhinologic community, attendance at ARS-sponsored meetings, and sponsorship by two ARS fellows. FARS fellowship indicates Dr. Dodson’s commitment to excellence in his rhinologic practice, setting him apart from others in the region. |
