Conditions We Treat

Allergies and Hay Fever
Allergies involve hypersensitivity of the body’s immune system to foods or foreign substances that don’t typically provoke other people.

Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever)
Allergic rhinitis or hay fever is a type of allergy triggered by substances such as pollen, pet dander, mold, dust mites, or other environmental sources. Symptoms can include sneezing, itchy eyes, postnasal drip, or other problems and may appear seasonally or throughout the year for weeks at a time.

Sinusitis and Rhinosinusitis
Sinusitis and rhinosinusitis refer to inflammation of the sinuses and can be associated with hay fever, infection, or environmental irritants.

Treatment & Procedure Options

Antihistamines, Decongestants, and Cold Remedies
Antihistamines, decongestants, and cold remedies involve various types of over-the-counter medications to treat — not cure — symptoms of allergies or hay fever, as well as upper respiratory infections. Reading the labels, following instructions, and seeking professional advice are crucial to preventing overdose, avoiding harmful side effects, and ensuring the right medication for your specific symptoms.

Sinus Surgery
Functional endoscopic sinus surgery is typically an outpatient procedure aimed at opening the sinus drainage pathways. It’s a potential option when sinusitis persists or doesn’t adequately respond to other treatments such as medication.
