Our ENT treatments and services
We will work with you to determine the best treatment method for your needs.
Noninvasive treatment options
Depending on the nature of your condition, our ENT specialists may recommend antibiotics, nasal saline sprays or drops, steam inhalation or topical nasal steroid sprays. If medication alone doesn't resolve the infection, we also offer more advanced treatment methods, including conventional sinus surgery and balloon sinuplasty.
Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS)
We perform FESS procedures using specialized instruments and a small endoscope. This helps us see inside the nose and nasal cavities. We then remove bone and tissue to enlarge the sinus opening.
Balloon sinuplasty
Balloon sinuplasty is an alternative to FESS that uses minimally invasive sinus balloon catheters to gently restructure and open the sinus passageway. This helps restore normal sinus drainage and function. A balloon sinuplasty can be performed without removing bone or tissue.
Intraoperative cranial nerve monitoring
Intraoperative cranial nerve monitoring permits the highest level of safety and reduces morbidity from surgeries of the face and neck region.
Navigational CT scan imaging
The use of state-of-the-art intraoperative navigational CT scan imaging improves accuracy during our sinus and ear surgeries.
