Care Philosophy: My interests include allergy, medical and surgical treatment of sinus disease, nasal obstruction, hearing loss, vocal problems, in children and adults. The emphasis is on avoiding surgery if possible; for instance, many people with sinus problems are candidates for balloon dilation of the sinuses which can be easily performed in the office. My interests also include minimally invasive facial aesthetics including fillers/tox, laser, IPL, microneedling and radiofrequency treatments. There is an in-office aesthetician available for facials, peels and other concerns. A thorough evaluation of every patient is undertaken with the goal of avoiding surgery unless other options have been exhausted. Patients are educated about conditions, outlining treatment options, risks and benefits; summary handouts are provided. However, unnecessary testing is avoided to avoid wasting time and money. Likewise, we strive to be on time as much as possible given the unpredictable nature of medicine.
