Welcome to the

Minimally Invasive Rhinology Procedures

Center of Excellence

Our practice is a recognized Center of Excellence for minimally invasive rhinology procedures, specializing in advanced, office-based treatments designed to restore normal sinus and nasal function with precision and minimal disruption to the anatomy and patient schedules.

For nearly 20 years, we have been leaders in the use of balloon sinuplasty, a technology that relies on millimeter level changes, often all that is needed, to allow the sinuses to drain and function normally. This approach preserves natural anatomy while delivering meaningful, lasting symptom relief for patients with chronic sinus disease.

For inquiries regarding a specific physician, please refer to their faculty page.

In addition to balloon sinuplasty, we offer radiofrequency-based treatments for:

• Chronic runny nose (chronic rhinitis)

• Chronic nasal congestion

Our team has been at the forefront of these technologies, playing a key role in their clinical adoption, FDA approval, and insurance coverage. These procedures are minimally invasive, performed comfortably in the office under local anesthesia, eliminating the need for general anesthesia or hospital-based surgery.
To enhance patient comfort During all of our procedures, we provide Pronox™, a self-administered mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide that helps patients relax during the procedure while remaining fully awake and in control.

Clinical outcomes are strong: patients experience, on average, a 75% improvement in symptom scores within four weeks, often with continued improvement over time. It is not frequent that a patient will need to have these procedures repeated.

Our mission is to deliver cutting-edge, evidence-based rhinology care that is effective, efficient, and centered on patient comfort, allowing patients Sinuses and airways to breathe better, recover faster, and return to daily life with minimal downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the structure of the sinuses?

Each side of the facial skeleton has four sinuses, named by the facial bone in which they occur. The frontal sinuses are located within the frontal bone, or forehead. The ethmoid sinuses develop within the ethmoid bones, which are between the nose and eyes. The maxillary sinuses form within the maxillary bones, or upper jaw, and the sphenoid sinuses are within the sphenoid bone.

What are the causes and classifications of sinusitis?

Viruses are the most common cause of acute sinusitis and may lead to secondary bacterial infections. Other causes of sinusitis are allergies, which can cause swelling or obstruction of the sinus drainage pathways into the nose, and genetic disorders such as cystic fibrosis. The latter leads to an impairment of the cilia, or hair cells which direct the transport of mucous produced within the sinuses into the nose. This physiologic process is known as mucociliary transport and is essential for the normal cleansing of the sinuses of infectious agents and air pollutants.

How is sinusitis diagnosed and treated?

Sinusitis is diagnosed through a combination of medical history, physical examination, and sometimes imaging such as CT scans to evaluate the sinuses. Treatment depends on the cause and severity. Options include medications like decongestants, nasal corticosteroids, or antibiotics for bacterial infections. In chronic or severe cases, minimally invasive procedures or surgery may be recommended to restore sinus drainage and function. Individualized care plans are developed to relieve symptoms, prevent complications, and improve overall quality of life.
