5 Best ENT Specialists in Chicago (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

A blocked nose that won't clear or a hearing problem that keeps interrupting sleep sends most Chicago patients hunting for an ENT specialist fast. The practices on this page have collected nearly 1,700 Google reviews between them, and the ratings run from a solid 4.1 up to a near-perfect 4.9, so the real differences show up in focus and wait times rather than in the stars alone.

Short answer: Chicago ENT - Lincoln Park Clinic is the most-reviewed otolaryngology practice in the city (4.1 stars across 1,016 reviews), a large multi-provider clinic covering sinus, hearing, allergy and sleep care. For a smaller, more consistently praised option, ADVENT (4.6, 366 reviews) and Resolve ENT (4.8, 145 reviews) both focus on sinus, breathing and snoring issues with tighter, more personal care.

Our take: The biggest name on this list by review volume, and a genuine one-stop option if you need more than one type of ENT care. The rating sits lower than its peers here, largely tied to appointment pacing and phone access, so it's worth going in with specific questions ready.

ADVENT

4.6366 Google reviews

ADVENT is a Chicago ENT clinic built specifically around what it calls the Breathing Triangle: sinus, snoring and sleep. Its Loop office offers in-office treatments including balloon sinuplasty for chronic sinus problems, alongside general sinus, snoring and hearing evaluations. The clinic markets itself narrowly around breathing and airway issues rather than the full spread of ENT sub-specialties.

What people praise

  • Reviewers report real improvement in breathing and sleep after in-office procedures
  • Providers described as attentive and willing to explain treatment plans in detail
  • Balloon sinuplasty done same-day in some cases
  • Strong overall rating with a large review base for a specialty clinic

Worth knowing

  • A reviewer flagged confusion over which providers were in-network before a visit
  • Billing and insurance questions have drawn some frustration

Our take: A strong pick if sinus congestion, snoring or sleep apnea is the specific problem. The focus is narrower than a full ENT group, but the reviews suggest that focus pays off in outcomes. Confirm your provider's network status before booking to avoid billing surprises.

  • Highest rating on this list at 4.8 stars
  • Reviewers describe surgery and recovery going smoothly with clear explanations along the way
  • Patients specifically call out feeling heard after being dismissed elsewhere

Chicago Nasal & Sinus Center

4.798 Google reviews

Chicago Nasal & Sinus Center is a Loop practice devoted entirely to nasal and sinus disorders, including chronic sinusitis, sinus headaches, allergies and snoring, plus voice therapy for professional and non-professional voice users. It offers in-office allergy skin testing alongside surgical and non-surgical sinus treatment options, and keeps its scope deliberately narrow.

What people praise

  • Reviewers describe thorough consultations that walk through test results in detail
  • Providers named individually and praised for follow-through, including allergy-shot administration
  • Fast scheduling reported even on short notice
  • Consistent 5-star reviews across sinus surgery and allergy testing

Worth knowing

  • Limited hours, closing at noon on Fridays
  • Smaller review base than the two largest practices on this list

Our take: A focused sinus and allergy practice with reviewers who name individual doctors and staff by name, a good sign of consistency. Worth a look if your issue is squarely sinus- or allergy-related rather than broader ENT care.

Sehjin Han M.D.

4.973 Google reviews

Dr. Sehjin Han is a Chicago otolaryngologist and facial plastic surgeon based on North Michigan Avenue, with reviews concentrated around septoplasty and turbinate reduction for deviated septums and nasal breathing problems. Her practice is smaller and more specialized than the multi-provider clinics on this list, with a focus on nasal surgery and recovery.

What people praise

  • Highest rating on this page at 4.9 stars
  • Reviewers consistently report noticeably improved breathing after septoplasty
  • Described as thorough in pre- and post-op communication
  • Efficient, well-organized surgical process according to reviewers

Worth knowing

  • Smaller review base than the other practices here, so the sample is limited
  • Shorter weekly hours, closed Friday through Sunday

Our take: The smallest and most surgery-focused practice on this list, but the reviews are unusually consistent on one specific outcome: better breathing after a deviated septum repair. Worth a call if that's specifically what you're dealing with.

Health information disclaimer: This directory is informational only and not medical advice. Rankings reflect publicly available Google ratings and review volume, not clinical outcomes. Verify any practitioner’s credentials and registration with the relevant medical board before booking.

How we score

Every number on this page is pulled from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the practice’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many patients have rated them, measured against the other Chicago ENT practices here. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 built on hundreds of reviews carries more weight than the same score on a handful. Recency reflects how recently patients are still leaving reviews. No practice can pay to change these numbers.

What does an ENT visit cost in Chicago? (2026)

ENT visits are billed through medical insurance in most cases, and out-of-pocket costs vary widely depending on your plan, whether the provider is in-network, and what procedures are involved. None of the practices on this page publish a general fee schedule, so treat any figure you’re quoted as specific to your insurance and visit type rather than a fixed rate.

Serving Chicago and the surrounding area

The practices above cover Chicago from Lincoln Park and Lakeview to the Loop and North Michigan Avenue, with several offering multiple locations across the metro. Searching for an ENT specialist near me? Every listing below includes a phone number and address so you can find the closest option and confirm your insurance before booking.

What to ask before you book an ENT appointment

  • Is this provider in-network with my specific insurance plan, not just the practice as a whole?
  • What does the initial consultation cost if I’m paying out of pocket?
  • Will I see the same physician for follow-up visits, or a rotating group?
  • What in-office procedures can be done the same day versus requiring a separate visit?
  • What’s the expected recovery time for any procedure being recommended?
  • Will you send a written summary of results after tests like a CT scan?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these ENT specialists?

We started from Chicago otolaryngology and ENT practices with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

What’s the difference between a general ENT and a sinus-focused clinic?

A general ENT practice, like Chicago ENT’s Lincoln Park clinic, covers a wide range of ear, nose and throat issues from hearing to head and neck concerns. Sinus-focused clinics such as ADVENT or Chicago Nasal & Sinus Center concentrate specifically on nasal, sinus and breathing problems.

Do I need a referral to see an ENT specialist in Chicago?

It depends on your insurance plan. Some plans require a referral from a primary care doctor before covering a specialist visit, so check with your insurer before booking.

The bottom line

Chicago ENT’s Lincoln Park Clinic is the safe default if you want one large practice covering the full range of ENT care, while Resolve ENT and Dr. Sehjin Han stand out for patients dealing specifically with sinus or breathing problems who want a more personal, focused approach. Confirm insurance coverage before your first visit either way.
