Cancer Care

Each year, over 55,000 Americans are diagnosed with head and neck cancer. Dr. Schleiffarth and Dr. Howard specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions.

Early Warning Signs of Head and Neck Cancer:

Lump in the neck
Change in the voice
Growth in the mouth
Difficulty swallowing
Changes in the skin
Persistent earache

Early detection is key—when identified promptly, most head and neck cancers can be successfully treated with minimal side effects. Cure rates can significantly improve when patients seek medical attention at the first sign of symptoms. Don’t delay. If you notice any of these warning signs, consult your doctor immediately.

Since Allergy & Asthma of the Black Hills merged in January 2019 with West River Ear, Nose & Throat Clinic. I feel I am still getting real good care from the nurses & Doctors that work there. I am very pleased with the way I have been treated. I have no complaints at all. Plus I would recommend this office to other people that need this kind of care. I will still give this office a 100% rating. As of January 2020, I have still been going to this clinic. And I am very pleased with the care I am given & I am also very happy with all the staff there. They are very proficient in the way they do things and the nurses are very good in what they do in the Allergy clinic. They are very proficient in the way do things, and they also give you your privacy. And now with this COVID 19 VIRUS: ALL THE STAFF AT THIS CLINIC WEARS A MASK & ARE VERY CAREFUL IN THE WAY THEY TREAT YOU. Everything gets wiped down after every patient. Which is wonderful! THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR A JOB WELL DONE!

Dr. Guy is a thoughtful and caring doctor. He asked me a lot of questions and listened intently to my answers. His suggested treatment was insightful and hopeful for a long term symptom I have. I'm glad he was there for me.

In the last 20 years that I have lived in Rapid City, I have NEVER dealt with a deep-hearted passionate and caring Audiologist before. In my eyes West River ENT VERY top on my list and I just don't go to anyone. The West River Audiologist makes deeply respects your concerns, makes time for you until you feel confident and all of your worries turn negative. West River ENT is a phenomenal place to get services. I would highly deeply recommend them WITHOUT a doubt

inspired to be me

Mine and my daughter's experience here was amazing! All of the staff were extremely informative, welcoming, caring, and easy to get along with. I felt comfortable right away with the care my daughter was going to receive. I appreciated how friendly everyone was the whole way through, and the care and concern for my daughter afterwards. 10/10 would highly recommend. also, the doctor was very great with how I wanted to go about my child's care, and didn't try to push me the opposite way.
