Have you met PA "JT" Carrino yet? Did you know JT grew up right here on the Emerald Coast? He had to leave when his parents’ military duty station changed—but he returned as soon as he could!

John-Thomas “JT” Carrino, PA-C, is a board-certified physician assistant with more than a decade of clinical experience. He spent his childhood in Shalimar and Valparaiso while his parents were stationed at Eglin Air Force Base and Hurlburt Field. After moving to Tennessee, JT earned his bachelor’s degree in biology with a minor in psychology from Tusculum University, followed by a Master of Medical Science from the LMU–DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine Physician Assistant Program.

For the past 10 years, JT cared for patients at Greeneville Ear, Nose and Throat Specialists, where he worked in the clinic, assisted in surgery and helped train medical and physician assistant students. He has extensive experience diagnosing and treating allergy, sinus and vestibular conditions.

JT is thrilled to be back in Northwest Florida with his wife, Gabrielle, and their two young daughters, Ella and Emilia. Outside the office, he enjoys University of Tennessee sports, boating, building custom computers and spending time with his family and their dogs, Prince and Mae.

We’re so happy to have JT as part of the Northwest Florida ENT team! To learn more or schedule an appointment, visit

This fall marks 2 years since NP Deneb Diaz joined Dr. Jason Boole and the team at Northwest Florida ENT.

In that time, many patients have taken the time to mention NP Diaz by name in their Google reviews — describing great care, professionalism, friendliness. Take a look!

NP Diaz sees patients for ENT, sinus, allergy, and sleep apnea concerns, while working closely with Dr. Boole and our full care team to help patients feel informed, supported, and confident in their treatment plan.

We are so grateful to have her at Northwest Florida ENT. If you are looking for excellent ENT care with timely access, NP Diaz would be happy to help.
