Marion County’s Premier ENT Practice

Ocala ENT (originally Ocala Head & Neck) was founded by Christopher Bald in 1981. He was joined by William Thompson in 1985 and Scott Nadenik in 1998. In November of 2009, Christopher Schmidt joined the practice after the completing of his Facial Plastic Surgery Fellowship at the Garcia Facial Plastic Institute in Jacksonville. Dr. Charles Grayson joined the practice in May of 2012, bringing many years of ENT experience from his previous practice in the panhandle.

We are dedicated to the highest quality of medical care under the direction of board certified physicians, nurses, audiologists, and speech pathologists. Our business staff strives to guide patients through the financial complexities of health insurance networks.

The physicians at Ocala ENT are independent practitioners who are managed by Medical Management of Ocala, Inc.
