History of The ENT Center of Central Georgia

The ENT Center of Central Georgia was founded in 1956 by Dr. Claude Pennington. Dr. Pennington was a native of Macon, Georgia. He attended Mercer University at the age of 16, graduated from Mercer at the age of 19, and was accepted to the Medical College of Georgia shortly after. Following medical school, he first completed an internal medicine internship, then decided that he wanted to pursue otolaryngology. He completed a residency in otolaryngology at Columbia University in New York City. After spending a few years in the military, he came back to Macon to start his practice as his roots reside here. Dr. Warren Griffin joined the practice and had a huge impact in its growth and success. Dr. Griffin’s son, Dr. John Griffin, joined the practice in 1988 as his father retired. Dr. Pennington retired shortly after in 1989. Both Dr. Griffin and Dr. Pennington are listed as Emeritus.

In 1999, we opened our outpatient ambulatory surgery center adjacent to the Macon office, a fully AAAHC accredited facility with seven surgeons, two M.D. anesthesiologists, and a highly trained nursing staff. We expanded in 2008 to Warner Robins, offering comprehensive ENT and audiological care.
