Meet Dr. F. Kent Nunnally: A Lifetime of Compassionate Care

Dr. F. Kent Nunnally’s journey into medicine began with a personal health scare—one that shaped his deep commitment to patient-centered care.

In the sixth grade, Dr. Nunnally developed a large lymph node in his neck, sparking fear that it could be Hodgkin’s lymphoma—a devastating diagnosis at the time. His parents, barely in their mid-20s, faced an unimaginable decision: rush their son from their small Arkansas hometown to Little Rock, unsure if he would survive the trip.

But what stood out to Dr. Nunnally wasn’t just the fear—it was the unwavering care he received.

“Dr. Stewart, the general surgeon who took care of me, made a huge impression on my family,” he recalls. “I’ll never forget his kindness, his support, and his faith-driven service in our time of crisis. At that moment, I knew I wanted to become a doctor—to serve others the way he served us.”

For nearly 25 years, Dr. Nunnally has been a trusted name in the Wiregrass area, providing expert care with a heart for service. He holds staff privileges at Southeast Alabama Medical Center, Flowers Hospital, and Dothan Surgery Center.

A Practice Built on Care, Kindness, and Faith

At ENT South, Dr. Nunnally leads with the same philosophy that inspired him as a child:

“We care, we’re kind, and we work for the Lord.”

His commitment goes beyond treatment—he believes in listening to each patient, understanding their concerns, and offering care that puts their well-being first. Whether diagnosing complex conditions or helping a child breathe easier, his mission remains the same: to provide expert, compassionate care that makes a real difference.

Outside the Practice

Dr. Nunnally and his wife, Karen, find joy in spending time with their three grown children and two beloved dogs. They are active members of Calvary Baptist Church, where their faith continues to guide their lives and service to others.

A Doctor Who Understands Because He’s Been There

Choosing a doctor is more than just picking a provider—it’s about trusting someone who truly cares. Dr. Nunnally’s personal story, lifelong dedication, and faith-driven approach make ENT South a place where patients feel heard, valued, and cared for.
