Associations

ANS
The American Neurotology Society (ANS) is dedicated to providing continuing medical education (CME) to our members to improve the quality of public healthcare. The mission of the ANS is to provide CME activities that will increase information availability and enhance the clinical capability of the participants.

AAPS
The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons – AAPS – is a non-partisan professional association of physicians in all types of practices and specialties across the country.

Since 1943, AAPS has been dedicated to the highest ethical standards of the Oath of Hippocrates and to preserving the sanctity of the patient-physician relationship and the practice of private medicine.

ABO
The first formal proposal for a standardized, prescribed post-graduate period of medical education was made at the 1912 meeting of the Triological Society and published in the Laryngoscope in 1913. The American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology (the two academies formally separated in late 1977) embraced this initiative by establishing two committees to explore this concept and develop a plan. The otolaryngology committee consisted of representatives from the Academy, the American Laryngological Association, the American Otological Society, the AMA Section on Otolaryngology, and the Triological Society. The committee established, not without controversy, a recommended curriculum of training that should last three years, if possible. The ABOto accredited otolaryngology residencies until 1953 when the Residency Review Committee of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education assumed this responsibility.

Under pressure from the Academy, the ABOto was constituted in 1924 to develop a certifying examination, the first of which was administered in 1926. The certifying examination has evolved over the years from its original oral examination and a written histopathology examination. For several years, actual patients with otolaryngological conditions were used in various sites around the country in the ͞practical exam. The current format of a multiple choice written and a structured oral examination was established in the 1970s but has been significantly refined over the past thirty years.

TS
The Triological Society disseminates scientific information by presenting the latest basic science and clinical information at scientific meetings and through the publication of scientific journals. The Society promotes research into the causes of and treatments for otolaryngic diseases by attracting promising physicians to scholarly otolaryngology research. This organization supports the development of these young scientists by providing financial support for research efforts and promoting the highest standards in the field of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery.

Tim Norby

He saved my hearing after I was struck by lightning in 1997. Excellent physician and great bedside manner.

Rebecca Stewart

The staff is professional and kind. Testing is explained. Everyone takes their time, which is nice. Dr. Gianoli is very professional, takes his time when with you and explains everything thoroughly. Much different then other practitioners I've seen. They care about my health.

Carol Perez

Dr. Gianoli is one of a kind! 10 stars!! He truly cares about his patients, he takes the time to listen to you, and explains all results thoroughly. He has performed tests that other doctors had not done, nor even offered as an option. Instead of throwing an inaccurate diagnosis at you just to get you out the door as fast as possible so he/she can get to his next patient; Dr. Gianoli and the amazing staff, takes the time to invest in your care, getting you healthy again. (edited to add this after going through treatment) Finding Dr. Gianoli has been life changing. Before seeing him I was having to use a walker to walk, could not drive, could not look up, fell constantly....my quality of life was non-existent. Now I am back to functioning like normal! Dr. Gianoli gave me my life back and my entire family and I are forever grateful for his awe-inspiring knowledge and dedication.

Miguel V

Dr Gianoli its Great Doctor and understands his patients very well He is very Good With SSCD (Superior Semi-Circular Canal Dehiscence) he is very professional and the staff are very helpful

Michelle

Dr. Gianoli has a unique and exceptional technical capacity at diagnosis and treatment of neuro-otology related conditions. At the same time he has amazing "bedside manner" and ways of working with patients and their families. He is down to earth and makes very complex issues understandable. He is patient and compassionate from the moment you meet him. The doctor and staff at the Ear and Balance Institute in Covington, LA did intensive comprehensive evaluation that shed light on a condition I have been struggling with since a traumatic brain injury 2.5 years ago. They were all kind, compassionate, and professional and spent many hours with me. Other specialists told me my condition was not treatable and that I would need to just live with it, unable to do many simple things I used to be able to do. I am confident that with Dr. Gianoli I will have great improvement in functioning and quality of life.

James Armand

Dr. Gianoli and his staff are always prompt, professional and cordial each and every time we have appointments. My wife would not let anyone else touch her ears. Thanks for such an excellent practice.

AUDREY THIBODEAUX

The office staff and medical professionals are all wonderful. The Audiologist is very knowledgeable and properly prepares the patient for testing. Dr. Gianoli provides results of his examination and tests in a very thorough and understandable manner and takes the time to answer any questions and/or concerns. I always feel I am in very capable hands in dealing with my medical issues.

stefan grosser

dr. gianoli changed my life quality in a very positive way!! ..after first SCDS surgery method in johns hopkins all the bad symptoms came back! dr. gianoli did in a revision surgery a perfect work! seemed to me like a wonder.. i come from switzerland in europe. nobody else was able to do this great job!!!

Starla Smith

It has been a pleasure to be evaluated & educated by Dr. Gianoli. His staff is professional & very friendly. We are thankful we were referred to him. I highly recommend him!!

Rod Mickler

I’ve had a great experience with Dr. Gianoli and staff, he is very thorough and spends a good deal of time answering your questions and explaining his diagnosis. My PLF was treated and I’m feeling much better. Highly recommend Dr. Gianoli.

Tim Paris

Absolutely the best and most caring doctor I've seen since my TBI 8 years ago. He will not settle for Occam's easiest and simplest answer to any balance problem. Dr. Gianoli is determined to find the answer, not simply the most likely answer. Vastly different in the field of medicine. Having a diagnosis based on fact and not theory makes an immeasurable difference to my outlook on life. I am very thankful I found Dr. Gianoli. I now have a future in front of me.

Jordin P

Dr Gianoli is very thorough each and every visit. I am now 4 years a patient with him and have been more than pleased with the results I have achieved with Dr Gianoli.

Esther R

We were very pleased with Dr. Gianoli. He was very accessible before our appointment, responding to my questions via email. It will be several weeks before we see if the treatment is effective, but we are very encouraged. Everyone we encountered was very helpful.

Tracy W

The amount of time with the doctor and his staff spends is a very big plus for me. I do not rushed. That is hard to find now-a-days.

Mary P

I love DR. Gianoli and Kacey and the entire staff. I have been a patient for 11 years. Their kindness and compassion is just as much a part of their treatment as their high level of expertise.

Jessie Blevins

I really appreciated the time Dr. Gianoli and his staff spent with me. There was no rush to get to the next patient. Thanks for the care and concern!

Thomas L

Great experiences with everyone, staff and Dr. Gianoli. Everyone was very professional and explained all procedures to me thoroughly.

Stephen H

I previously tried seeing several doctors and specialists in DFW for my vestibular neuritis without success. He is a expert in his field, easy to talk to and he has certainly changed my life.

Brenda W

Dr Gianoli and his staff have been wonderful to deal with in the diagnosis and treatment of my SCDS. I have had a complete resolution of my debilitating symptoms, and am back to living life without dizziness. Dr Gianoli is a miracle worker, in my opinion! He gave me back my life!

Marion R

Overall, this has been the most thorough medical exam I have ever had for my symptoms. Dr. Gianoli and his staff have all been very understanding and compassionate throughout my appointments and testing.

Anneke Manning

Came for yearly check-up. As always, it was a pleasure to see Dr Gianoli. After almost 6 years of being a patient here, he has become a friend, as well as my doctor. I have made enormous steps back towards health, and I remain so very thankful to have found Dr Gianoli, who, in my opinion, is the best Neurotologist in the country...and I should know...he was the 37th doctor I went to in search for answers to my vestibular problems.

Jamie M

Dr. Gianoli is very thorough in running tests and making a diagnosis. He truly cares about his patients and takes a personal interest in their progress.

Kerry M

Dr. Gianoli and his staff were very thorough in their testing and diagnosis, and he spent as much time with my wife and I as necessary to explain their diagnosis, treatment options and to answer any questions we had.

Briviere Wilkinson

When no other physician could accurately diagnose the cause of my hearing loss and dizziness, Dr. Gianoli not only diagnosed but performed a minor surgery that has eliminated the debilitating dizzy spells and nausea which accompanied them.

Bret D

He has an excellent manner and is very detailed in his explanation of the problem. I felt very comfortable with him, as he is easy to talk to.

Maggie McDowell

If you have an inner ear problem, this is the place to go. The Staff and doctor were very helpful and informative during the visit. All procedures were explained in detail. Doctor took time to explain results and most beneficial treatment.

Robin V

Very professional I would recommend him to anyone with inner problems. Seems to be very knowledgable in his profession.

Sonia Richardson

Dr. Gianoli was instrumental in helping me with my vertigo. I am still under his care but now only have to see him on a yearly basis as I no longer have problems with vertigo. I still have hearing loss but this is a permenent condition for me and that will be for the rest of my life. But I honestly feel that Dr. Gianoli has healed my vertigo condition. The entire staff is very friendly and helpful. They go beyond the call of duty to do everything they can to make you feel comfortable during your visit.

Leslie Babin

In 2000, I was diagnosed with Otosclerosis. Dr. Gianoli determined that the left ear was much worse than the right. He operated on my ear that same year. The results were immediate with a marked improvement in hearing. A few years later I began to notice the same gradual degradation in my ability to hear in my right ear with an increased level of tinnitus. I would go to Dr. Gianoli every few of years for testing and evaluation. We both came to the conclusion earlier this year (2014), that it was time I had the procedure done in my right ear. He operated on me on March 13th. Everything went well and my hearing is much improved! A positive side effect is that the level of tinnitus is greatly reduced to the point that I am most often unaware of it. Thanks Dr. G!!

Betty Miles

Very thorough, patient, efficient. Wait time at a minimal. Staff and doctor make you feel comfortable.

Christina Kettman

Very professional and knowledgable. Honest and straight-forward. The treatment, ie surgery, from Dr. Gianoli changed my quality of life.

Campbell F

Dr. Gianoli and his staff are fantastic! Appointments are easy to schedule and you are always seen promptly upon arrival. Office visits are thorough and you are never rushed. I currently travel 1+hour to see Dr. Gianoli, however, I would easily travel 10 hours for care and treatment. He has quite literally saved my life by diagnosing and treating my condition. Thanks to Dr. Gianoli I am able to drive, work and have a family.

Marion B

Dr. Gianoli's professional manner and medical expertise is exceptional. His treatment of my condition was life changing, I do not know what I would have done without him.

Martin Davies

Dr G is an outstanding doctor. He has an excellent medical set-up which is the equal of what one would find in a big research hospital in terms of diagnostic testing and in some cases his set-up exceeds this e.g. UVa. He is a highly experienced practitioner and given this and his diagnostic tests he is able to work out want is going on where other top people in the field have failed. This is true in my case.

Kevin Horn

Dr. G and his staff are incredible. It was finally nice to have found a doctor that understands my condition and situation as well as I know it. His expertise and care are hard to find these days and feel the cost of his services were well worth the expense. Thanks to Dr. G and his staff for successfully treating my SCDS condition!

Leslie Babin

Consultation was pleasant and very informative. Doctor took the time to address my questions and concerns. Leslie Babin

Kelly Gueno

I was desperate and stressed that no one could figure out what was wrong with me. it wasn't until a friend recommended me to the ear and balance institute. I called and received an appointment within two weeks and that was only bc of my busy schedule. The whole staff is very kind, caring, and wonderful. Dr. Gianoli spent a great deal of time with me in trying to figure out what the problem was. I wish there were more doctors like him.

Clark Leblanc

Dr. Gianoli is the most knowledgable, caring, and helpful doctor that has helped me with my condition. I would recommend him to all patients with vestibular prroblems because he is far superior in his abiliy to diagnose and properly treat the vestibuular system.

Cameron M

The staff is always very courteous and professional, and genuinely take a concern in the patient's well-being. Dr. Gianoli is outstanding, always listening to what I have to say and answering any questions I may have. The entire office is awesome, and provide a great experience, and this is coming from a patient that has grown leary of the 'medical clinic herding patients through like cattle'...C.M.

Jeff Johnson

I have been coming to Dr. Gianoli for over a year and each time the visit is personal, professional and designed for my problems. I am not treated as a code on a chart, but as an individual. Without doubt the most professional, attentive and informative medical provider I have ever been exposed to or heard of.

Kris C

very professional and informative!! He has truly been a life saver! I am looking forward to furthering this professional intervention due to the fact that I have finally gotten results!

Wayne Vance

Dr Gianoli is a very thorough, knowledgable and compassionate physician. His staff are professional and kind. This is an extraordinary team of caregivers who personify care giving in every way. They are passionate about their field of expertise, while at the same time thoughtful in detail as to the patients needs. I am blessed to have found the Ear and Balance Institute.

Jaime S

Dr. Gianoli and his staff are the most professional and kind health care professionals I have ever met. I wish all doctors could have such high standards.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Dr.G and staff. I have been coming for 10 years now and they have always taken excellent care of me and seen to my every need. I was in a desperate way when I first found them, after seeing so many doctors who never could diagnose me. So very grateful that he was able to help me. Just the most professional group of people and the most caring I've ever come across. Love them all.

Amazing experience with Dr. Gianoli and his staff. They have been helpful and supportive at every step. Our son couldn't walk without assistance and after surgery, he can walk on his own again!

Traveling from Michigan to Louisiana after 2 years of various doctor visits was definitely worth it! My inner ear issue was finally discovered after thorough testing. A treatment plan was set up and I'm on my way to recovery. For 2 years I lived with dizziness that was unexplainable and undiagnosed - even after several visits to my local ENT and a handful of visits to the emergency room.

I have been searching for answers for two years and spent tens of thousands of dollars trying to figure out why I have all of these symptoms. Dr. Gianoli and his staff have spent so much time with me, testing, talking, and trying to find the root cause and we finally have a plan. I am in tears knowing that someone believes me and actually can SEE what I am feeling.

I am very satisfied with Dr. Gianoli's professionalism. I would recommend him to anybody who has ear problems without hesitation. He is a good hearted man that truly cares about his patients.

The obvious concern for the patient is overwhelming. Everything thoroughly examined and explained. Dr Gianoli ended my 3 year search for what was going on. All other health care systems gave up or said It was in my head, they are right, it was in my ears. Dr Gianoli and his ENTIRE staff worked diligently and nonstop for all the tests. He went thru results, concerns, and solutions. I was truly at my wits end and didn't know what I would do next. Don't delay like I did, listening to others... Go see the center.

Worth the trip from Michigan. Very kind, caring and compassionate. Listen to me and my symptoms. I have been struggling in the dark for 20 years and 11 months.

After 25 years of seeing 50+ Physicians/specialist connected to 3 hospital systems I’ve had my first success in diagnosing and curing my balance issues, one issue cured and one to go. I have come to appreciate what Dr Gianoli and his staff can do for people like myself who struggle with inner ear issues, an answer to prayer.

I am so very very grateful for Dr. Gianoli’s medical knowledge and care! My life has been greatly improved with his treatment and will continue to get better!! Dealing with vestibular challenges are so very difficult, Dr. Gianoli is the doctor I had been wishing for. So grateful he studies and is an expert in the specialty he does, it has changed my life. We happily travelled from Michigan to his office, very worth it!! He is a kind man and an excellent doctor. Just so very grateful. Thank you.

After 3.5 years of chronic balance, vision and hearing problems and bouncing from one uncaring doctor to another, I traveled to the US to see Dr. Gianoli. I finally have a diagnosis and I know what steps need to be taken in order to get my life back. Dr. Gianoli seems to be far more knowledgeable and experienced than any other ENT I have dealt with. He is also very approachable, has great bed side manners and genuinely cares about his patients. His staff couldn't be more professional and welcoming. No wonder this place has the reputation it has and welcomes many foreign patients.

I love DR. Gianoli and Kacey and the entire staff. I have been a patient for 11 years. Their kindness and compassion is just as much a part of their treatment as their high level of expertise.
