About Dr. Steven Shotts
Dr. Shotts began practicing in Louisville with Commonwealth Ear, Nose, and Throat in January 2003 and joined the new Advanced ENT & Allergy in 2010 at the time of the merger. Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, he began his medical education at Wright State University earning a B.S.E. in biomedical engineering with highest honors while competing in Division I tennis.
Upon completion of undergraduate studies, he went on to Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, Tennessee, finishing at the top of his class and earning his Doctor of Medicine on full scholarship. He then moved to Lexington, Kentucky where he completed five years of residency training in otolaryngology /head and neck surgery at the University of Kentucky. Being fully trained, he moved to St. Louis to fulfill an active duty commitment to the US Air Force. There, he served as the Chief of the Department of Otolaryngology at Scott Air Force Base, Assistant Professor at Saint Louis University, and director of the ENT clinic at the VA Hospital in Marion, IL.
While serving in the military, he completed the Air Force Aerospace Medicine course as a distinguished graduate and was additionally certified as a flight surgeon. He honorably separated from the military in the fall of 2002 as a Major with the National Defense Service Medal with bronze cluster.
Because of an intense desire to continue developing practical skills, he then spent 4 months living in Spain and Costa Rica attending an intensive Spanish immersion program, and now speaks fluent Spanish.
In addition to being board-certified in otolaryngology/head & and neck surgery, he is a Fellow of the prestigious American College of Surgeons and has successfully passed both the oral and written board examination in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery.
He keeps an active role in educating University of Louisville medical students, who do elective rotations in the office.

I was in the waiting room for more than 40 minute before the Doctor showed up, I was there for ear cleaning, He did the suction job and that was it, I mean, not recommendations, not an explanation as to why the wax build-up so much in my ears, NOTHING !, I had to ask for any recommendations or so, He said NOTHING !, it was like if He just have to make His money and leave, did not care for the "Patient's needs",... the assistants, two women, very rude to me, I've read the other reviews and they say that they were so nice, well, the receptionists were very helpful and nice, but, once you're inside, is a very different game, sorry, that, was my experience, I will NEVER COMEBACK here nor Recommend this place, I did NOT feel welcome by the Doctor's helpers.

I have sinus issues for years. I went in for extreem nose bleeds. Dr. Couldn't find underlying issue, did not discuss my sinus issues.
I take Claritin D 24/7 to help with the decongestant. I probably give him another chance.
