Today we’re celebrating Dr. Brennan Dodson 👨‍⚕️✨

Dr. Dodson founded Bridger ENT in 2006 and has since cared for thousands of patients each year with dedication, compassion, and skill. Board-certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology and the only ENT in Montana with the Fellow of the American Rhinologic Society (FARS) distinction, Dr. Dodson combines advanced training with a patient-first approach.

Patients know him as approachable, thorough, and kind—taking time to explain complex care in ways that are easy to understand. He’s also a committed educator, training the next generation of physicians through his role with the University of Washington School of Medicine.

We’re so grateful for Dr. Dodson’s leadership, expertise, and the outstanding care he provides our community. 💙

🌍 September = World Sinus Health Awareness Month ( )!

Fun fact: your sinuses aren’t just “empty spaces.” They help lighten your skull, make your voice sound richer, and even filter & humidify the air you breathe. Pretty cool, right?

When sinuses get inflamed or blocked, it can affect how you breathe, sleep, and feel every day. That’s where we come in.

At Bridger ENT, Dr. Dodson and our amazing team — including Blythe Lindsay, PA-C — provide compassionate, state-of-the-art care for both kids and adults. Since 2006, our mission has been simple: treat every patient the way we’d want to be treated. 💙

Can’t hear the wind in the trees? It might be earwax. 🍂👂

Earwax (cerumen) is completely normal—and believe it or not, it’s your body’s way of protecting your ears! But when it builds up too much, it can lead to muffled hearing, ringing, pressure, or discomfort.

That’s where we come in.

At Bridger Ear, Nose & Throat, we don’t use ear lavage or flushing, which can often push wax deeper into the canal or irritate the eardrum. Instead, our trained ENT specialists can use precise tools, suction and a microscope to safely remove earwax. This is a delicate procedure that requires skill and expertise—we see exactly what we’re doing to protect your ear canal and eardrum while relieving your symptoms.

If your ears feel full, your hearing is off, or you just want peace of mind, we’re here to help.

📍 Locally owned. Professionally trusted. Bridger ENT—committed to your ENT health, right here in the heart of Montana.

Happy 406 Day, Montana! 🎉 As the snow melts and the days grow longer, we at Bridger Ear, Nose, and Throat are excited to welcome spring in Bozeman. This season brings fresh air, blooming landscapes, and the promise of new adventures in our beautiful state.

Spring is a time of renewal, but for many, it also brings challenges like allergies, sinus pressure, and ear discomfort. Whether it’s seasonal congestion, changes in air pressure from outdoor adventures, or lingering winter throat irritation, your ear, nose, and throat health plays a big role in how you experience the season.

Have you noticed a change in your breathing with the shift in weather? Do your ears feel full or blocked when hiking at higher elevations? Are spring allergies making your throat scratchy? These are all common ENT concerns this time of year, and we’re here to help.

At Bridger Ear, Nose, and Throat, we specialize in helping our community breathe easier, hear clearer, and feel better all year round. However you choose to celebrate the changing season—hiking, biking, or just soaking in the sunshine—we hope you take a deep breath and enjoy all that Montana has to offer!
