• 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
  Non-surgical treatments of snoring include weight loss and avoidance of sedatives and alcohol, particularly in the evening. Some patients consider a bite splint worn in the mouth to reposition the jaw during sleep.
• Pediatric Care
  Pediatrics The ear, nose and throat disorders that affect children encompass a wide range of conditions. Some of the more common ones include ear infections, tonsillitis, dizziness and balance problems, sinus infections and allergies.

• Primary Care
  As a reminder, please contact your Primary Care Physician or Urgent Care facility if you or someone you care for has any of the following symptoms...
• Ear Infections
  In addition to pain and discomfort, a middle ear infection can cause tiny air cells in the mastoid bone to fill up with pus. As the infection spreads, potentially reaching the brain, the bone is destroyed, resulting in hearing loss. If antibiotics are unsuccessful in clearing up the infection, then mastoid surgery may be needed.
• Sleep Disorders
  Sleep Apnea is a common sleep disorder in which a person has one or more pauses in breathing or has shallow breaths during sleep. Breathing pauses can last from a few seconds to minutes occurring about five to 30 times or more per hour. These pauses in breathing are usually followed by a loud snort or… Read More
• Emergency Care
• Urinary Incontinence
• Immunizations
  You can’t always stave off an ear infection, but there are steps you can take to reduce the chances of your child developing one. These include breast-feeding your baby, making sure they are up-to-date on vaccinations, practicing good hygiene (e.g., regular hand-washing), keeping your child away from tobacco smoke, and enrolling them in as small a day care or preschool facility as possible. Simply put, fewer children mean fewer germs.

Radiologist

• MRI
  Mastoiditis can cause serious – even life-threatening – health complications if untreated, so proper diagnosis is a crucial first step toward recovery. Our doctor will examine your ears with an otoscope, looking for signs of infection. Diagnostic tests such as a CT scan or MRI may be administered to help rule out other conditions.
• Computed Tomography
  To confirm a nasal fracture, your doctor will perform a physical exam. He or she will press on the sides of your nose and look inside your nostrils for signs of broken bones. Topical anesthetics may be applied before the physical exam to control the pain. An imaging test is usually unnecessary, but based on the severity of your injury a CT scan may be required if a physical exam is too painful to be performed.
• Radiation Therapy
  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.

Plastic Surgeons

• Rhinoplasty
  Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure to repair or reshape the nose. It can change the size, width and profile of your nose. It can smooth out depressions or bumps on the bridge, and fix an imperfect nasal tip (one that is too large, droopy or curves upward). Large or wide nostrils may be reshaped, and a deviated septum can be corrected.

Dermatologists
