Shea, Sr., M.D.'s tradition of excellence into the twenty-first century.		Focus On Otology ONLY  The Shea Center For Ears Hearing & Balance stands alone in the south-central U.S. as a state-of-the-art resource dedicated SOLELY to diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the ear and related structures. While Center patients are encouraged to bring all relevant documents and CT/MRI films with them for their initial consultation with Dr. John Shea III, the policy of the Center is to bring to bear time-tested techniques of history-taking and a thorough neurovestibular evaluation in our ultra-modern lab with a careful otomicroscopic examination of the ear and related neural structures. The result: a meaningful (and honest) working diagnosis, the treatment of which routinely results in rsatisfying resolution of symptoms for the 'difficult ear'.
