ABOUT US
At Camellia ENT, the needs of the patient come first. You can rest assured that no matter the issue, the patient will receive the highest quality of care, have access to the latest technology and procedures, and will get an honest and straightforward assessment. They are taken care of every step of the way by a compassionate and competent staff that is second to none.
For nearly 30 years, Dr. David Foreman has been serving the Lafayette area and providing the highest quality of care to his patients. He is a graduate of Tulane University and received his MD at LSU in New Orleans after completing medical school. He finished his residency in Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery at LSU in New Orleans as well.
Dr. Foreman's reputation amongst the Lafayette community is hallmarked by his down-to-earth personality, his honesty and integrity, and his utmost compassion for his patients. His practice is well rounded and broad and treats the complete spectrum of disorders of the ears, nose, and throat.
​
Recently, Dr. Jimmy White has joined the practice alongside Dr. Foreman. Dr. White is also a Lafayette native, and attended Our Lady of Fatima, St. Thomas More High School, and the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. He received his MD at LSU School of Medicine in New Orleans, and completed his specialty training at the world renowned Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
His practice covers the entire breadth of the ears, nose, and throat specialty as well. In addition, he has particular interests in head and neck cancer and ear surgery. Dr. White is the only surgeon in the region that offers Transoral Robotic Surgery for tonsil and tongue base cancer and cochlear implantation for hearing restoration.
In addition, Dr. Foreman is offering the latest technology in sleep apnea surgery. He is the first surgeon in the state of Louisiana and the only in the Acadiana region to use a hypoglossal nerve stimulator to cure sleep apnea. This service became available in 2016 but recently is becoming covered by insurance companies.
Michael Walker P.A.-C. is the physician assistant for the practice and is an integral part of the excellent patient care provided at Camellia ENT. His calm demeanor, patience, thorough work up, and exceptional knowledge base make him an invaluable asset to our patients.
Overall, our #1 goal at Camellia ENT is to serve and care for you and your families. We're here for all your ENT needs.

Patient Testimonials
Friendly, knowledge, professional staff. The medical care & bedside manner was second to none. I was very stressed about having the procedure based on discussion with fly & friends who had this procedure done by other Dr.’s. Dr. Foreman took the time to go over the procedure in detail and explained what to expect post-op. At every follow up appointment he explained what I was going to experience in the coming week! I should have had this done 10 years ago. Awesome Dr. and staff, I can’t say enough about how positive my experience was!
Always get the best, most effective care with Dr. White and staff. They are so patient and accommodating. I'm a patient for life!
