General Practitioners

• Sinusitis
  Anything that irritates the nasal tissues can cause congestion. The list of possible causes is lengthy and includes infections (colds, influenza and acute or chronic sinusitis), allergies, structural abnormalities (deviated septum, enlarged adenoids/tonsils, nasal polyps or tumors), non-allergic rhinitis, dry air, cold temperatures, bright lights, cluster headaches, hormonal changes, medications, thyroid problems, spicy foods, tobacco smoke and stress.
• Medical Weight Loss
  Snoring in children is often the result of overgrown tonsils and adenoids. If this is the case, surgical removal can often restore normal airflow. This is generally recommended only in severe cases; your child’s doctor may take a wait-and-see approach if symptoms are minor. Other solutions include weight loss or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) devices or mouth guards.
• Snoring
  The Pillar Procedure is a simple surgery designed to treat snoring and sleep apnea. It involves placing polyester implants into the soft palate to offer structural support and reduce tissue vibrations that cause snoring.
• Ear Infections
  If you’re a parent, it probably comes as no surprise that middle ear infections are common in children, particularly those between the ages of six months and two years. Known as otitis media, these are caused by a number of factors, both physical and environmental.
• Sleep Disorders
  Snoring is extremely common: 45 percent of American adults snore occasionally, and 25 percent are habitual snorers. While many consider it a mere nuisance, snoring is actually a sleep disorder that can be the sign of a serious medical condition. Snoring is when you stop breathing, choke or gasp during sleep. It is often associated with sleep apnea. Treatment can include losing weight, quiting smoking, sleeping on side rather than back and limiting use of alcohol. In more severe cases a CPAP machine may be recommended or possible surgery to open up the airway.
• Urinary Incontinence

Internists

• Endoscopy
  Drs. Mendians and Hengy may order several tests to determine the cause of the reflux, including esophagram and endoscopy. Treatment may involve eating smaller meals, quiting smoking and losing weight along with over the counter medications to keep the reflux under control.

Neurologists

• Autism

Psychiatrists

• Mental Health

Endocrinologist

• Diabetes Care
• Thyroid
• Thyroid Cancer
  About 90 percent of head and neck cancers are caused by tobacco and alcohol use. People who have been exposed to radiation, either during medical treatments as children (common in decades past) or from nuclear radiation sources, are at considerable risk for thyroid cancer and should be screened yearly.

Radiologist

• MRI
  MRI: Magnetic Resonance Imaging can clearly show tumors near bones, smaller tumors and brainstem masses. It uses a magnetic field rather than x-ray radiation.
• X-Rays
• Computed Tomography
  Cholesteatoma is a skin growth that occurs in the middle ear behind the eardrum. The patient may experience ear pain, fullness of the ear, dizziness or weakness on the effected side of the face. Depending on the size of the cholesteatoma, treatment can include antibiotics and eardrops or surgery may be necessary to remove the growth. Various tests may be needed such as, hearing and balance testing or CT scans.
• Chemotherapy
  When surgery isn’t an option, radiation therapy may be recommended. Chemotherapy involves the use of creams or lotions that contain cancer-killing drugs applied directly to the skin, and is especially effective in cancers that are confined to the top layer of skin. For cancers that have spread to other parts of the body, systemic chemotherapy is often effective.
• Radiation Therapy
  Radiation therapy delivers radiation to the cancerous cells through X-rays or other high-energy beams, causing them to die. It is most effective in early-stage cancers, where it may be the only treatment necessary.

• Mohs Surgery
  The most common surgical procedure for treatment of nonmelanoma skin cancers is Mohs surgery. Also known as chemosurgery, the cure rate is very high – 98 percent or greater for both basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas.
• Reconstructive Surgery
  Mohs surgery is a four-step process that entails surgically removing sections of tissue, examining each specimen, mapping the cancerous areas and – when all cancerous cells have been removed – performing reconstructive surgery.

Plastic Surgeons

• Liposuction
  Coblation palatoplasty is a surgical procedure used to treat snoring and mild cases of obstructive sleep apnea. It is similar in concept to liposuction, and involves reducing the size and thickness of the soft palate and uvula.
• Rhinoplasty
  There are many other possible causes including Alzheimer’s disease, brain tumor, aneurysm, diabetes, cocaine use, chemical exposure, malnutrition, hormonal imbalances, medications, Parkinson’s disease, rhinoplasty, radiation therapy and old age, among others.

Dermatologists

• Skin Cancer
  Skin cancer can develop on any part of the body that receives frequent sun exposure – the scalp, lips, ears, neck, chest, arms and hands, for instance. One of the areas most prone to skin cancer is the face. It can affect people of all skin tones, including individuals with darker complexions.
• Cyst
• Lesions
  Drs. Hengy and Mendians are able to treat growths, both cancerous and non-cancerous lesions of the nose with excision (removal) of the growth with possible skin graft or patch on the removal site.
• Burns

Allergists

• Allergies
  Eustachian Tube Disorder (ETD) is the blockage of the tube that connects the middle ear to the back of the throat. Symptoms may include feeling of fullness in the ears, ringing or popping in the ears, decreased hearing and dizziness. Common causes of ETD may include allergies, colds, or sinus infections. Drs. Mendians and Hengy will conduct a full ear, nose and throat exam to determine the underlying cause of ETD. Other testing may be necessary such as hearing testing or allergy testing. Treatments such as antibiotics or insertion of Pressure Equalization (PE) tubes in the eardrums to drain any fluid behind the eardrum and equalize the pressure would be considered, or Myringotomy or Tympanostomy with insertion of Ventilating Tube.
