General Practitioners

• Sinusitis
  Problems related to your nose and sinuses, such as nasal congestion, runny nose, facial pressure can be attributed to a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, nasal polyps, chronic sinusitis, allergic or non-allergic rhinitis, or history of a nasal fracture.
• Snoring
  At Alamo ENT, we evaluate and treat a number of issues in the pediatric population, including chronic ear infections, snoring and sleep apnea, enlarged adenoids and tonsils, chronic tonsillitis and sore throats, lymph nodes and neck masses, and hearing loss.
• Ear Infections
  Ear tubes are a treatment option for children and some adults with chronic or persistent ear infections or persistent fluid in the middle ear space. Tiny cylinders are inserted through the ear drum to allow air into the middle ear to decrease the number of infections.

Endocrinologist

• Thyroid

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  Thyroid nodules are very common.  In fact, they may be present in up to 2/3 of the population.  In most cases, people are unaware that they even have a thyroid nodule.  However, over time, some of these thyroid nodules will grow to the point that they become visible and may start putting pressure on nearby structures giving some uncomfortable and unwanted symptoms. The RFA electrode is placed into the thyroid nodule under ultrasound guidance. When the electrode is activated, charged particles within the cells of the thyroid nodule begin to rub together which causes heat production. This heat destroys the cells immediately surrounding the tip of the electrode.
• Computed Tomography
  This allows us to quickly and painlessly obtain high quality images of the sinuses and ears while at the same time only requiring 1/5 to 1/20 the radiation dose of a standard CT scan.

• Neurosurgery
  CT scanner, I visually navigate and operate in the office as I would in the operating room. Image-guided surgery (IGS) is the use of a real-time correlation of the operative field to a preoperative image that reflects the precise location of a selected surgical instrument to the surrounding anatomic structures. Although first developed for neurosurgery, ENTs use the navigation system for sinus surgery to increase safety and accuracy in the operating room. We offer the same quality treatment in our office.
