Common complaints by patients, including nasal congestion, post-nasal drip, facial pain and pressure, and decreased sense of taste and smell, can all be related to underlying sinus disease or allergic rhinitis (seasonal allergies).
Allergy skin testing is performed in office, and consists of prick testing on the back followed by skin testing on the arms. This testing allows your provider to not only identify if you have allergies, but also to determine the severity of your allergies.
Hearing loss is a common complaint, and can be the result of a variety of medical issues and environmental factors. Hearing loss can result in significant developmental delays in children and social isolation in adults.
The larynx (or voice box) is where we produce our voice. Common symptoms of problems with the voice box include hoarseness, vocal weakness, sore throat, and coughing.
Balloon Sinus Dilation is a safe and effective procedure for some patients suffering from chronic sinusitis who do not respond well to medications. In office balloon sinus dilation is a minimally invasive procedure that is performed by our physicians, and allows the physician to reshape certain drainage pathways of the sinuses in order to restore normal mucus drainage. Typically, patients experience a quick recovery, and most patients return to normal activity in 24 hours.
Allergy drops are a form of immunotherapy that is offered at Atlantic ENT. The drops are able to be self-administered at home rather than several times weekly in office, and are considered safer than allergy shots.
