We provide high-quality treatment in a multidisciplinary setting by having everyone you need to see right here on site, including allergists; asthma specialists; pulmonologists; infectious disease specialists; and ear, nose & throat doctors. We have a strong relationship with our Allergy Department, with whom we work closely to care for patients who have aspirin-sensitive asthma and nasal polyps, known as triad asthma.

When it comes to surgical intervention, you should choose a center that performs a high volume of surgeries. In any given year, we perform more than 500 sinus surgeries – roughly 10 each week. Our Otolaryngology Department is one of the oldest in the country, meaning our knowledge is deep.

We treat the full scope of nasal and sinus disorders, including:

• Allergic rhinitis – an inflammation of the membranes lining the nose
• Cerebral spinal fluid leaks
• Chronic sinusitis with polyps – an inflammation of the sinuses that lasts more than 12 weeks and is associated with nasal polyps
• Chronic sinusitis without polyps
• Difficult infections
• Deviated septums
• Fungal sinusitis – includes allergic fungal sinusitis and fungal ball plus acute or chronic invasive fungal sinusitis
• Inverting papilloma – benign tumors that form inside the nose
• Meningoencephalocele – when the lining of brain and/or brain tissue protrude through an opening in the skull
• Nasal fractures
• Nasal masses and nasal tumors
• Nosebleeds
• Triad asthma – a clinical syndrome defined by three conditions that exist together: asthma, aspirin sensitivity and nasal polyps

In order to accurately diagnose your issue, we take the time to listen to you. We compile a thorough patient history and review your previous records. Then we provide a detailed head and neck physical exam, which includes using a nasal endoscope to evaluate your nasal cavity. Other testing we provide includes:

• Biopsy of polyp or mass (using the endoscope)
• CT scan if necessary
• Testing of cultures to determine bacterial infections 

Surgery

We use image-guided, minimally invasive surgery to take care of complex medical and surgical issues in patients with sinus disorders. This includes revision surgery, which means the patient has had the surgery elsewhere, but either the polyps came back or there is scar tissue or it hasn’t healed well. 

We offer an experienced team of surgeons and specialists to make it right. In some cases, we also offer balloon sinuplasty, which involves endoscopically inflating a small balloon in the sinus cavity to open blocked sinuses, restoring normal drainage, and then removing the balloon. And for patients with polyps, we have cutting-edge techniques – both medically and surgically – to slow the growth of polyps.
