Colorado ENT & Allergy

In 1995 the leading ear, nose, and throat physicians in Colorado Springs merged to become Colorado Otolaryngology Associates (COA). At that time, the practice was comprised of six physicians and four locations. Drs. Hohengarten, Pruitt, and Romett practiced at Carefree and Academy, near Penrose Community Hospital; and Drs. Olson, Ernster, and Knox practiced on Cascade Avenue. Initially, the practices maintained separate locations; however, in 2000, the practices combined into a single location in the Audubon Medical Campus at Union and Circle. That same year, Dr. Galloway joined the practice.

In 2004, Dr. Wilcox joined COA, and, in 2006, two of the founding physicians of COA, Drs. Hohengarten and Olson, retired. Dr. Davis joined COA in 2007, and in 2008, to meet the increasing needs of a growing Colorado Springs, COA opened a second location in the NorthCare Pavillion adjacent to the St. Francis Medical Center at Woodmen and Powers.

In 2011, COA merged with the Colorado Center for Otolaryngology to form Colorado ENT & Allergy (CENT&A). In 2014, Dr. Whinery joined CENT&A, and the practice now consists of 10 otolaryngologists/head & neck surgeons. Over 40 staff members ensure the effective operations of CENT&A, and its audiology services are provided by three audiologists and three audiology technicians.
