Since 1994, when our practice was founded by ENT physician, Dr. William McClelland, CornerStone Ear, Nose & Throat has helped patients enjoy every breath, sleep better every night, hear every word, and live every moment. Our Otolaryngology and Audiology doctors and support team specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of ear, nose, and throat disorders, as well as disorders related to the face and neck.
CornerStone Ear, Nose & Throat is proud to offer adults and children thorough, technologically advanced diagnosis and treatment for the full range of ENT conditions. From in-office sinus surgery and allergy treatments with drops instead of shots to comprehensive management of hearing loss, our ENT physician team certified Doctors of Audiology, and experienced staff combines clinical expertise with a compassionate, caring attitude.

Our Mission
CornerStone Ear, Nose & Throat will always strive to render the highest-quality care to each of our patients and to exceed the expectations of those we treat as well as their referring providers, caregivers, and family members. We view education of the patient, expert skill, timely communication, and a positive demeanor as critical components of optimal care.
