Need ENT Doctor Referral for Snoring 4 Year Old

Updated on March 03, 2008
M.D. asks from Saint Charles, MO

My 4 year old son needs to see an ENT specialist. He snores terribly and I'm afraid it is affecting his sleep and that he'll need his adenoids taken out (my older son had the same trouble 12 years ago). We are new to St. Charles/O'Fallon area and I am hoping for a good referral as opposed to just blindly picking a new doctor. Thanks so much fellow moms for your help!

What can I do next?

I live in Wentzville, MO and have two boys, 5 and 3. And, they have HORRIBLE sinus problems!!! We have used Dr. Karen Boone in St. Peters since my 5 year old was 1 and he needed tubes. In my opinion, she is FABULOUS with kids and PARENTS!!! This family loves her!!

Thanks :) C. F.

M.,

I work with 3 ENT's for pediatrics at a surgery center. ALL of them are excellent. I have even brought my own son to one of them and would recommend all of them to anyone. They are: Randall Clary who is partners with James Forsen, their office is at St. John's phone is ###-###-####, and the third is James Benecke. His office is at Missouri Baptist and phone is ###-###-####.
*Just a note, the adenoids don't always come out just for snoring. Usually, they look for interrupted sleep because of breathing issues, chronic sinus problems, repeated infections or a mixture of all.* Good luck!

We were referred to Dr. Karen Boone from our children's pediatrician when my daughter was almost 20 months old. She ended up needing her tonsils and adenoids out since they were enlarged, causing her breathing issues. Anyway she's great and she's a mother of 3-4 kids, so she understands what you as a mother, face with kids.

My son was 4 when he had his adenoids out - he was also a loud snorer - although that was not the only reason he had them removed - but it certainly helped that! We went to Dr Lou (I believe that is how she spells it) - she was out of Children's Hospital towards the city - I am not familiar with one in St. Charles.

I would refer you to Michael Conoyer at Midwest ENT in St. Peters. Their telephone number is ###-###-####. He is in the same group with Karen Boone. They are both excellent physicians. I note that someone suggested Dr. Bonacorsi. I had one bad experience with him with my oldest son, then decided to try again with my second son since he was highly recommended, and then had another bad experience. My oldest did have his adenoids and tonsils taken out and it cured his snoring too. Good luck and welcome to the St. Charles area!!

Dr Conoyer is, in our entire family's eyes, the very BEST ENT doctor in the entire St Louis region! He is absolutely phenomenol! Our oldesat has a recurring tumor in her nose that causes frequent severe nose bleeds. Two other ENT's just shrugged it off as dry air but Dr. Conoyer found it the first visit and was caring and soft with our baby every step of the way. He is thorough and careful and I trust him with both of my children's lives! (That is saying A LOT coming from me as I truly don't trust the medical community all that much)
His office is the MidWest ENT Centre over by St Peters BJ hospital. You won't be sorry. Even his nurses are great!
