• Headaches
• Sinusitis
  Nasal polyps are fleshy, watery-appearing swellings or growths that arise from the lining of the nasal and sinus cavities. They are found more commonly in patients with allergies, chronic sinusitis, and asthma. They are also associated with certain hereditary conditions, such as cystic fibrosis. Nasal polyps are non-cancerous. They may vary in size, and while generally benign, may cause problems by blocking the drainage pathways of the sinuses making a person more susceptible to developing sinus infections. Larger polyps may fill the entire nasal cavity and cause blockage to airflow. They may also cause a decrease in sense of smell.
• Primary Care
  Otolaryngologists diagnose and manage diseases of the sinuses, larynx (voice box), oral cavity, and upper pharynx (mouth and throat), as well as structures of the neck and face, as well as many ENT primary care problems in both children and adults.
• Ear Infections
  Hearing loss affects one in ten North Americans. The unique domain of otolaryngologists is the treatment of ear disorders. They are trained in both the medical and surgical treatment of hearing, ear infections, balance disorders, ear noise (tinnitus), nerve pain, and facial and cranial nerve disorders. Otolaryngologists also manage congenital (birth) disorders of the outer and inner ear.

• Emergency Care
  When you get emergency care or get treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, you are protected from surprise billing or balance billing.
• Infectious Diseases
  This center of the body includes the important nerves that control sight, smell, hearing, and the face. In the head and neck area, otolaryngologists are trained to treat infectious diseases, both benign and malignant (cancerous) tumors, facial trauma, and deformities of the face. They perform both cosmetic plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Gynecologists

• Labor and Delivery
  The septum can be easily injured through physical contact, sports activities, falls or minor accidents. Unless the injury was severe, a deviated septum can remain un-diagnosed until breathing difficulties become pronounced. In some cases, this condition is present at birth either from the stress of childbirth or prenatal injury.

Internists

• Internal Medicine
  Ms. Yip has had extensive work experience as a clinician in both primary care and internal medicine setting. Since she joined Cal Sinus Center, she has been incorporating her broad medical knowledge to comphrensively treat and manage our sinus patients. Ms. Yip understands the importance of treating the patient as a whole instead of a conglomerate of different diseases.
• Endoscopy
  Diagnosis of nasal polyps generally requires a nasal endoscopy and a CT (computerized tomography) scan of the sinuses. Nasal endoscopy is a more detailed examination of the nasal cavity using a small, lighted, magnified scope, usually performed by an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat physician). This is an office procedure performed with some light, topical anesthesia. Testing for allergies may also be recommended.

Psychiatrists

• Mental Health
  The federal “No Surprises Act” grants consumers the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much their medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers, including psychotherapists, must give clients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for treatment services.

Endocrinologist

• Hypothyroidism
  For most people, Graves disease responds well to treatment. However, thyroid surgery or radioactive iodine will sometimes cause hypothyroidism, which can lead to weight gain, depression, and mental and physical sluggishness. Antithyroid medications can also have serious side effects.

Radiologist

• MRI
  In some cases your surgeon may suggest surgery that includes “surgical navigation” — usually with a special type of CT or MRI scanner — in order to diminish the chance of complications and improve results.
• Radiology
  A copy of your XRAYS, CT scans or any other relevant medical imaging (not just the reports – please acquire the actual films or images on a disc from the radiology facility)
• X-Rays
• Computed Tomography

Surgeons

• General Surgery
• Otolaryngology
  Otolaryngology (pronounced oh/toe/lair/in/goll/oh/jee) is the oldest medical specialty in the United States. Otolaryngologists are physicians trained in the medical and surgical management and treatment of patients with diseases and disorders of the ear, nose, throat (ENT), and related structures of the head and neck. They are commonly referred to as ENT physicians.
• Reconstructive Surgery
  Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery: cosmetic, functional, and reconstructive surgical treatment of abnormalities of the face and neck.

Plastic Surgeons

• Rhinoplasty
• Face Lift

Dermatologists

• Skin Cancer
  Sinus and nasal cavity tumors are most commonly benign (non-cancerous) and do not spread to other parts of the body. These tumors typically occur on one side of the nose and are usually slow growing. Malignant (cancerous) tumors are rare. There are approximately 2,000 new cases of sinus tumors in the United States each year. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common type of cancer found in the sinuses and nasal cavity. Other types of cancer include: adenocarcinoma, lymphoma, melanoma and esthesioneuroblastoma (olfactory neuroblastoma).
