Strengthening its commitment to Northern Wisconsin, the permanent clinic brings essential care closer to home for rural communities
RHINELANDER, Wis. (August 21, 2025) — ENT & Allergy Associates, the premier ear, nose, throat (ENT), allergy, immunology, asthma and audiology service provider in North Central Wisconsin, is proud to announce the construction of a brand-new specialty clinic at 1933 Navajo St. in Rhinelander (map). This investment marks ENT & Allergy Associates’ return to the Rhinelander community and demonstrates its dedication to making high-quality, specialized care easily accessible for patients right in their own community.
After losing its leased clinic space in 2024, ENT & Allergy Associates made it a priority to remain nearby for its patients. The Holiday Inn Express of Rhinelander and Forest County Potawatomi Health & Wellness Center in Crandon generously provided temporary clinic space, allowing patients to continue receiving the high-quality care ENT & Allergy Associates provides without having to travel far from home.
The new 6,500 square-foot clinic, designed and built by Ghidorzi Companies, is scheduled to begin serving patients in summer 2026, offering the Rhinelander community permanent access to full-time audiology, allergy and ENT services under one roof.
“We are excited to expand to a permanent presence in Rhinelander. With this new, full-time location, ENT & Allergy Associates will continue to provide unmatched, high-quality, dependable access to ear, nose, throat, allergy, asthma and audiology-related specialty care to patients in Wisconsin and Michigan,” said Dr. David Edmondson, practice president of ENT & Allergy Associates. “Having served our Northwoods, rural and underserved communities for more than 55 years, ENT & Allergy Associates understands the importance of predictable, reliable care, with continuity you can count on.”
Dr. Shane White, a Rhinelander native, is proudly returning home to provide full-time ENT care to the local community. In addition, ENT & Allergy Associates’ board-certified allergists, doctors of audiology and professional staff will also provide expert, quality care. Until the new clinic opens, ENT & Allergy Associates will continue serving patients at Forest County Potawatomi Health & Wellness Center, located at 8201 Mish Ko Swen Drive in Crandon (map).
ENT & Allergy Associates has provided patient-centered specialty care for 55 years, growing alongside the communities it serves, while proudly calling Wausau home. Its Wausau location, including its walk-in care clinic, has set the standard for accessible, high-quality health care. This September, ENT & Allergy Associates is also opening a permanent clinic with walk-in care in Stevens Point. Patients can visit ENT & Allergy Associates with no referral to receive care for ear, nose and throat concerns, hearing loss support, hearing aid fittings and allergy testing and treatment.
