About Our Business
The Ear, Nose & Throat Center Is the oldest, largest and most comprehensive private center for
otolaryngology in the area. Established in 1951 by Dr. Jack W. Pou and joined by Dr. Ralph
Riggs, the original location, 2121 Line Ave., has remained in service for more then fifty years.
The building has been expanded multiple times since to accommodate new physicians as well
as expanded services. In addition, two satellite facilities have been established to
accommodate our patients and referring physicians.
A South Shreveport office was established in 1984 and remains in service at 8575 Fern Ave.,
Suite 103, and a new office at 1527 Doctors Drive has recently opened. Staffed by Board
Certified Otolaryngologists, Dr. Juan Watkins (joined 1969), Dr. Robert Thornton (joined 1977),
Dr. David Pou (joined 1985), Dr. Henry Hollier (joined 1994), Dr. William Watkins (joined 2000)
and the most recent associate, Dr. Mark Gurley (joined 2007), we are able to provide the patient
with quality care and ,when necessary for difficult problems, provide multiple opinions. In this
way, the practice not only offers convenient locations, but time saving advantages. With on-site
Doctors of Audiology and certified equipment, same visit hearing evaluation is available,
eliminating necessity for off-site referral to outside facilities and a follow up second visit.
On-site hearing aid evaluation, fitting, computer programming, and repair are also available.
Allergy testing and treatments, as well as a state of the art CT Scanner for sinus and head and
neck X-Ray evaluation is also provided on-site at the Line Avenue office location, again saving
the patient the inconvenience of off-site referral and allowing for quick results. The physicians
remain on the cutting edge of modern medical technology and care through continuing
education including frequent attendance of the annual international meeting of The American
Academy of Otolaryngology.
Several of the physicians are associated with the LSU medical school in teaching
otolaryngology residents in surgery and research in the latest techniques. Resident physicians
regularly rotate through our offices, observing and learning from our physicians.
Quality medical care is provided by our physicians, caring nurses and administrative staff for
all ages of patients from infants to seniors in all areas of Otolaryngology. This includes Hearing
loss(medical,surgical,and hearing aid fitting), Sinus disease (allergy, medical and surgery,
"Endoscopic sinus surgery"), Head and neck disorders(head and neck cancer, vocal cord
problems,swallowing disorders, skin cancer surgery), Facial plastic and reconstruction
(rhinoplasty, blephroplasty, otoplasty,etc.), Thyroid and Parathyroid surgery, Tonsillectomy and
